U comin to AFR? Let the judging commence! LoL!

miniman1
05-03-2009, 12:22 PM
Yeah, it will be coming with me to AFR, hoping to get a lil more work done to it by then tho.

And hopefully even take it down the drag strip if i can ride it.

Is that the finish I should expect if I wanted a set of headers down in chrome[?]cause that finish is way better than I would have thought

miniman1
05-03-2009, 02:10 PM
Its not chrome, its been ceramic coated. Handles heat better,wont flake and will never discolour.
And its reasonably cheap to do also. And its available in several dif colours.
Gona get the engine covers done soon, hopefully b4 AFR.

Nice work mate, very tidy. Are they Samco radiator hoses? Did you buy the full kit and did the hoses all fit up OK?

miniman1
17-04-2009, 04:46 AM
Yeah mate,is a full Samco kit. Bought them on Ebay, they were all a perfect fit

stu

Cheers Scott, that's good to know as I have been thinking about grabbing a kit.

Was thinking of doing it to mine. I've still got bog standard cans. Sick to death of it sounding like a mozzie when it's over 5000 rpm.

The Samco kit looks friggin sweet too. Doing well mate.

Lower the head light needs to be lower.

Mate slide it down further it'll make so much difference to the look i recon.

But as usual this is just my 2c and means nothing to your bulid.

Love the bike just lower the light!

Looking good!

looks SWEET!!! perfect man. wasn't too sure about the h/light when ya first showed me but it looks wicked on. the dash turned out good to.

Fight_fan
17-07-2009, 11:17 AM
Yeh man, definatly lower that h/light hey! It'l streamline the whole shebang!

miniman1
17-07-2009, 02:25 PM
Thanx guys, i was thinkin the same... Still gota rework the dash bracket a lil, but i want it covering d dash whilst still keepin it visible from a riding position...
Ill let ya's know what i come up with...

rock hard
17-07-2009, 03:44 PM
Lookin good Miniman, that colour looks great

damo1
17-07-2009, 03:59 PM
Mate just had a quick look back over your thread and i noticed that you have your flat bars with the bends going down??

When i had flat bars on my blade i had the bend coming back towards me when sitting in the seat.

Have you done it for a reason????

Just looks a bit odd to me.

But as i said before just my 2c

miniman1
17-07-2009, 04:04 PM
yeah, they're not the bars im actually using.... just grabbed them from the wreckers for the mock-up. those ones hit the tank at full lock, thats y they're on like that....

rod185651
17-07-2009, 04:40 PM
Mate the bike is looking really good. I've got a TRX as my daily ride and have to admit I wasn't a Yamaha fan until I got it. Also I have a single seat race glass cowl that I'm thinking of selling. If you're interested I'll post up a photo for ya.

miniman1
17-07-2009, 05:38 PM
Thanx 4 the comments guys....

Rod: I was considerin single seat tail, but decided to keep the convenience of keepin d pillion seat. Thanx anyway.

rod185651
17-07-2009, 06:27 PM
Yeah, good call, a litlle bit of storage space under the pillion seat also. Thinking of changing the exhaust to single but I know these motors need to breath so I'm hesitant to change my silencers (I've got after market staintune exhaust on mine). You feel any difference in power or sound for that matter with yours?

miniman1
17-07-2009, 06:35 PM
It had Staintunes on when i got it, dont like twin pipes so i decided to get this done. My mates exhaust shop made it. standard down pipes into 2-1 collector - straight thru muffler. The sound is stupidly loud but i love it! Will make a baffle 4 it when i get round to it. And as soon as I've got some spare cash, ill be getting it tuned to suit the pipes.

rod185651
17-07-2009, 07:04 PM
I know just the place to tune it when you're ready, RC Tuning in Moorebank ph: 96029844, he's got a dyno and is good with modified bikes. He did my ZX9R after I took the air induction off and he also identified some other niggeling faults that I was unaware of. He's a little in your face but it's worth it, a few of us use him and all with good results.... so far any way

Any chance your mate's shop can do a new set of headers?

Mine look like shit, rusted a fair bit, so I don't think they will be any good for a ceramic coat.

miniman1
18-07-2009, 01:05 AM
Well....... In theory they could, he fucken hates workin on bikes for some reason tho. I had to beg him for ages just to get him to do this. It's prob be cheaper/easier to just get some from the wreckers tho.....

miniman1
18-07-2009, 01:07 AM
Haha.... NO CHANCE of goin to Rob, he's a COCK!!! No idea how to treat customers and he's fucked a few of my mates bikes. I got my regular mechanic and im stickin to em, Shannon @ Campbelltown Motorcycles.... Top bloke and knows what he's doing, they also got a Dyno..

How'd he fuck your mate's bikes, I could handle his lack of interpersonal skills, but if you know something about his mechanical skills share it mate.

My mate took his Duke 749 there, Rob assured him he knew wot he was doin and could retune the stock computer, it came out with LESS power, wouldn't idle, had flatspot etc.... He then had to take it 2 Frasers after Rob said "he couldnt get it any better than that". I know the guys he used to work with and have heard of other things he's done and taken no responsibility for.
But if he does well by u mate... Stick with where ur happy with going.
