hi everyone

long time reader first time poster, i have been riding bout 6ish months and this is my first bike, and started life as a 80's arcade looking bike, like so

http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/4045/bikesmalldj8.jpg

the photo makes it look good, it didnt look that great

then i fixed the fairings (they had heaps of cracks)and painted it black
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/6873/bikeblackuu4.jpg

that was great untill i dropped it on some, grass cracked the top fairing in the the corner so i repaired that, then bout 2 weeks later caught my jacket on the mirror and snapped the top portion round the mirror so at this point i said fuck it and now i have this i polished the frame thismorning at 3 am (couldnt sleep)
http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/808/shinylp7.jpg

and that lead to the stripping of the front wheel
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/7541/rimox8.jpg thats the front wheel prior to cleaning up (now doesnt have the white round the edges), gonna do the rear wheel tomorrow as well as the lower part of the frame.

moved the lights bout 3 inches closer to the frame and about 2 inches up, instuments are still stock items and they are now mounted to the top triple clamp, i am going to work on the wiring and hinding it etc. also that top fairing is just a 5 min angle grinder to the OEM top fairing. i might create a fibreglass thingy soon and some how work the front end to be a bit more compact.

cheers
luke

Dont chuck it all away Luke, if you are on a budget mate you might be able to hack it up and make something from it. If you have any problems with tight bolts mate, dont loose your temper, use the force.

thats excatly what im doing cos im cheap. rear cowls are staying as is but the sides *may* become a belly pan with a few mods of course

bandit: me and the angle grinder have a very healthy relationship:D

rear wheel is being stripped this morning before work and maybe bottom half of frame

also fixed images in first post

very tidy, i do agree they look good with fairings but the truth of it is they are 20 Y/O bikes with fatigued abs fairings and they break really easily, as mine did while i would of liked to put new fairings on at close to 1k for new ones i decided to go the fighter option

got the rear half done today its pretty patchy atm the paint was alot harder to get off than the front gonna have another crack in 5 mins

thanks all for the positive comments :) keeps me motivated

sooo the rear wheel was a massive bitch, like uber massive the paint was really difficult to get off, i ended up doing somthing pseudo lathe style and sanded the wheel while spinning it on the axel, without the motor running im not that silly anyway here are the results as well as side on pics as requested

Lookin good buddy, there a good, fun, agile lil toy.
I reckon u should polish d engine covers and do something with the exhaust, either paint it with good high temp paint or ceramic coat it or something, just to feshen it up a bit. And fuck off that mirror bracket and get some bar mounted mirrors

I reckon some potbelly black on the pipes, attack the can with some autosol. that would have your exhaust looking sweet.

Then either clean up the engine with degreaser or clean it and paint the engine black, side covers either painted gold or polished, then paint the wheels centers gold too.

thats the plan i have some on the way from ebay

on the exhaust note (very punny), the end can isnt fabulous its scratched and gouged and very shitty looking so im thinking maybe shorten it a bit and then get some new sheet metal to wrap it, or just leave it and wrap it im not entirely sure how this can works compared to most aftermarket unit but it looks like it would not be able to be shortend, i shall invesigate...

opindown
06-02-2009, 12:08 PM
a set of protaper bars and some bar risers, differefnt tail like CBRRRT said and engine black as well same as what red zx said.
and maybe some smaller sleaker led indicators. apart from that your making good progress.(more then me)

hey everyone ive just finished with the exhaust and it looks great, but im gonna have a bit of a rant first.


Why the hell do people have what i will loosely dub tall poppy syndrome (not you guys you are very supportive and offer constructive criticism, that i like). why must someone who comes and has a look at your bike/car/whatever it is, cut you down with their comments. last night i went to the place where the group i tend to ride with hangs out and i can only think of 5 people tops that had somthing with either constructive or encourageing feel to it, every other asshole that had anything to say went somthing like "you should have done this or done it this way." THATS WHY ITS MY FUCKING PROJECT! i will do things my way (these things were said in a destructive manner. mind you like before i dont mind advice/crisicism as long as its construcive). others included "why would you fighter a 250? why dont you just save your money for a better bike"? seriously why do people say shit like that? why cant people just say "yeah looks good man" without the negativity. GRRRRRR

anyway

what we all came here to see, hardcore nudity!(not really but it got your attention didnt it? [:p] )

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5918/endcantl7.jpg

end can has been rewrapped with some nice new aluminium $20 from bunnings and $20 well spent given the result. i cut the long straight edges with a steel ruler and a snap and score knife (or laminex cutter) and the more intricate bits i scribed and used tin snips + alot of patience. i put the old one there as a comparison the photo makes it look really good (the old shitty one that is) its acutally alot worse.

http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3755/exhaustfullbb7.jpg

thats the exhaust painted with VHT's 1200*F paint (the photo makes it look redish but its very matte black). and for the first time i am actually impressed with this shit in a can, their "epoxy spray chrome" is the same as export silver paint, their engine enamel is atomised ratshit and their fabric and vinyl die is at best a good way to waste 17 bucks. this is great stuff though i did the baking ritual (just like with the atomised ratshit) and ZOMG its acutally chemically resistant!! and hard too.

also i apologise again for my shit photos, i might get the hang of it eventually.....

oh also ninjadude the can could be shortened but it is a welded unit with the aluminium over the top, easy enough to do just cut and reweld but i hate welding esp thin shit esp exhausts:(

"why would you fighter a 250?"

CAUSE I FUCKIN CAN CARNTS!!
dont be put off mate, show those "crowd followers" what a little though and effort can come up with, an original.

love the results so far, its looking fine. That muff came up a treat, if you go with the shorter tail unit you might shorten the thing then.
Keep at it

RED ZX
07-02-2009, 04:48 PM
sweet job on the exhaust, makes the bike look soo much better.

IF the paint starts to flake off after some kms, try using pot bell stove black, that stuff will stick to anything and take any heat.

Slain
07-02-2009, 05:10 PM
looking good mate!
theres a early r6 tail on ebay for 20 bucks at the moment (finidhsing soon) that would look cool on this :)

ninjaboy
07-02-2009, 05:58 PM
Fuck'em. You do whatever you want to whatever bike you want. There are no rules. If you're happy with the bike then that's all that matters. It's all about being different, doing the work yourself and being happy with the end result. They just don't get it, so fuck'em. That's how i feel anyway!

The can looks a shitload better and so does the exhaust, makes it look more tidy. Keep it up!

FUCK EM!!!!!! Theres plenty more groups to ride with! Who were these guys??

skiddz
07-02-2009, 11:20 PM
mmk so ive changed the rear indicators to small looking things i didnt go with LED ones cos the prices (for good ones) is basically legalised rape... these do the job well enough and look the part

now, there seems to be talk of changing the tail yes? if i were to do that i would have to mod the rear subframe which would require engineering no? i could easily make somthing to fit an r6 tail or gixxer tail but is it legal in doing so?

something that springs to mind is this
http://www.cr-x.org/cbr250/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=55275

its a pseudo cbr600rr tail but it fits on the MC19 subframe catch is its 300 bucks, what do you guys recon? worth perhaps getting a tail of some description and mucking with it myself?

miniman1
07-02-2009, 11:32 PM
Well 'technically speaking', YES. It's supposed to be engineered, but really, every cop I've ever come across seems to know NOTHING about bikes, so shouldn't be a prob gettin away with it.
Most people just mod the subframe themselves and make the plastics fit.

skiddz
07-02-2009, 11:37 PM
just what i wanted to hear :D im looking at a cbr1000 tail, looks pretty good could however present some problems though, i will go to the wreckers and have a play around

superfunhappy ninja edit: oooohhh also thinking bout protapers can i drill and tap the top triple without any ill effects? mine has no webbing at all so is that a concern? some dude i was talking to (one of those previously mentioned assholes) seemed to think the top triple has so much strain and stress it could break apart any minute (exagerated) and drilling and tapping for protapers would destroy it i thought it took very little load and it would be able to be drilled my logic is 2 8mm holes arent removing much material

thanks for the links, i like the cbr better the R1 is pointy where it shouldnt be IMHO, i put an offer in on the cbr tail so we shall see what becomes of it,

if anyone can helpout with that triple tree business let me know (in my super slow ninja-edited post)

miniman1
08-02-2009, 12:23 AM
Some people are very againts drilling triples, Ive never done it myself but never seen one break from doin it, if ur gona drill it, ive heard its better to put a kinda brace underneath to strengthen it a bit.
personally, i dont see it causin a prob.

ok so i are happy cos the tail is here :D but nothing else is:(

now how the fuck do i make it fit ?? i dont wanna be cutting up the subframe cos this is my daily so would making a subframe be out of the question? i can weld, but i would be inclined to just tack it and get a pro to do it

hmmm i shall investigate

there was a certain level of sarcasm there [:p]

a bike is a bike, no reason why you cant fighter a 250. not my choice of weapon but i certainly wont hold it against someone that uses that as a base for a project [:o)]

though its interesting that you would say a hyosung should not be fightered, if a 250 can be then why the hell not a shitty hyosung? :D

cheers man, im not getting bits welded in but i have some 6mm plate i have cut to the same shape as under the triple, same thing really

so the tail isnt going to be that bad to fit,after some test fitting and what not, atm i am waiting for the fibreglass to dry so i can continue my mission. ill get pics when i have achieved something worthy

thats the thou tail on i recon it looks freakin sweet, also cleaned up the wiring mess moved battery to under the tank (was under seat)and fitted some renthal's

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/884892489171674.jpg

still have to fine tune the bar location any advice?

ill get some shots with the fuel tank on later tonight, gonna go black out the subframe, finish the wiring, and start some fibreglassing to go round the seat.

still waiting on my mirrors/indicators cbr litre taillight and a few other bits n peices, might have to start cracking skulls

glad the bars and clamps worked out for you mate, its coming on well, you've done a great job with the tail piece,

think its about time i got back on with my own project, just been too busy riding my new bike instead of fixing my old one,

catch you again at some point when its finished, i'm planning on heading to casino, maybe see you there

skiddz
18-02-2009, 12:52 AM
yeah im goin down to casino, not sure which days though, probably see ya down there

i took a mold of the old duck tails where they wrap around the seat and over the base of the tank, now with my skills and the additional awesome the cbr tail has given me i present a half finished job but you can see what its supposed to look like....

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/229106354147683.jpg

ill put some resin in the middle part between the thou tail and the front halves tomorrow, the idea of not doing it now is that i can get the ends stuck down where i want and the middle will gently form from the sharper edges of the thou tail to the more rounded front half of the ducktail i will glass the fuck out of it tomorrow so its nice and strong

Mate she is lookin a treat. I've got a cbr 250rr, and was thinkin about fightering it. Havin a look at yours has given me a good couple of hints, regarding the mess of a dash they come out with, and the ghey ram air ducts. for if i ever decide to go through with it. One thing i did do was take the stock can to the local exhaust bloke, had it shortened by about 2 inches, half the baffles taken out, and reskinned. It looks and sounds awesome. So yeah they can be shortened. I'm real interested to see how it turns out with the barends on it. Oh and don't worry about what those other fucktards say, cause u and i both know the lil 250's will go round the outside of the bigger bikes through the twisties, no problems. Good luck mate.

the work is going to slow down a bit now, im back at uni, poor, and the bike has recently been plagued with electrical problems, but i should be able to work on the cowls a bit more tomorrow (day off uni:D) as well as the undertail and fender.

given im a giant fucker (6'3" ish on a 250, its a sight worth seeing) with the mirrors on the bars (inside the brake/clutch lever) all i can see is my shoulders and arms. i am thinking of mounting the mirrors bar on the ends (when i get the bar ends) or would it be better to mount them outside the levers or even outside the switch blocks?

I think you should listen to the voice in your head more mate, rather than the knock it Charlies down on your patch. You've got some good ideas and the drive to make them a real deal. Crack on with the 250 project bad boy coz its gonna look fuckin kick arse, and there are going to be a lot of jealous cuntz on the block when you ride it out for the first time.

Just a suggestion mate, have you considered doing what Pork did to his swing arm and chopping the brace off something and having it welded to your swing arm. I think it would beef up the arse end and make it look proper chunky.

More photos Buddy,

Keep up the good work.

Cop a deff-un to the knock it Charlies.

More pics for us to drool over.

Stay focused on the immage you have of the bike in your head.

There is person living in my head
She comes to visit every night in bed
I fight the demon, but it just won't fall
The voices in my dungeon starting to call

The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you, you are the ghost behind my eyes
The ghost that tells me lies

The princess of the dark has made my mind home
My haunted head and her won't leave me alone
She dances on my heart with fire in my soul
I hate that feeling when I'm loosing control

The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you, you are the ghost behind my eyes
The ghost that tells me lies

I wish to god that I could sleep
again, oh peace again
And wake up from this nightmare
Free again
Free again, oh me again

There is a woman in my head
She comes to visit every night in bed

The spiders dancing on the wall
Suicide of love we could have had it all
And it is you, you are the ghost behind my eyes
You, you are the ghost behind my eyes
You, you are the ghost behind my eyes

Skiddz,

Good to see you at the pub the other Friday.

Amongst a sea of identical new plastic bikes you had
one of the few that stood out and had any caracter.

Well done Mate.

And apply the lube with??? Actually don't answer that [xx(]

Bike looks fucking brilliant though... You have made some real progress, unlike me.

yeah im goin down to casino, not sure which days though, probably see ya down there

i took a mold of the old duck tails where they wrap around the seat and over the base of the tank, now with my skills and the additional awesome the cbr tail has given me i present a half finished job but you can see what its supposed to look like....

ill put some resin in the middle part between the thou tail and the front halves tomorrow, the idea of not doing it now is that i can get the ends stuck down where i want and the middle will gently form from the sharper edges of the thou tail to the more rounded front half of the ducktail i will glass the fuck out of it tomorrow so its nice and strong







I love what you did with that seat mate, its right up my strassa, but its about time you posted some more pic's skiddz. I'm gaggin to find out what happens next!

top effort skiddz, i got a cbr 1000 and cbr 600 tails here and a maybe R6 full rear to play with for my '88 gixxer, my thoughts were the same as yours to make moulds to connect to the rear. looking forward to more pics :)

07-03-2009, 11:35 PM
thanks for the comments everyone

surt i totally agree tail is too big, its the right length and depth but its soooooo fucking wide, im thinking i should have gone with the k5-7 gixxer tail or an early R1 tail but its too late now im gonna make this work, perhaps it will look better when all one colour.... ive put filler over the top of the glass to smooth it out, but im not happy with it so im gonna do some more glassing tomorrow to sort it out. also some cunt has stolen my pillion seat :(, maybe they thought it was for a cbr1000? but yeah im a bit pissed cos now i have a giant fucking hole in my tail and i have to cover it up some how.

updates tomorrow night

mmk so i lied about the pics, but it looks really cool, there is now a rear cowl sorta thing going on now... but i have been plagued with electrical problems again, i just seem to be fucking CDI units left right and centre, the voltage is 14.7 all the way from just above idle to 17k rpm. so yeah i dont know, im thinking i might get an MC22 unit, and retro fit that cos the MC19 units fuck up on a regular basis. anyway, im off to do some more electrical testing

check it! there has been some progress, delayed but progress none the less.

still requires a little more attention in places but overall im pretty happy i have headlight brackets for some fork mounted action so that shall be happening tonight as well, paint tomorrow and clean up any electrical shit that needs to be done, ive also cleaned up the exhaust hanger, cut off the large sticking out thing

Why would you fighter a 250!?


http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1245055941.jpg


RANT ON

Here's why, "COZ IT LOOKS THE FUCKIN DOG'S BOLLOCKS"

You will always get Knock-it-Charlies in what ever you do mate.

"I would have done this or that"

Well I say, "Why the fuck dont you show us what you can do"

I tell you why because they are ares holes and are only expert at one thing mate, and thats pulling apart other people's efforts.

Dude, when you started your bike you had a picture in your mind, if I had the same bike chances are I would have a different picture in mine. That doesent make either of us wrong, it makes us individule. And thats what streetfighting is, being Individule.

There are now streetfighters made by the big manufacturers, Honda, Yamaha, and now even Ducati has jumped on the band wagon. But surly thats not what its about. You go out and buy your self a Ducati Streetfighter, go to your local bike meet to show it off, and some other guy or girl turns up on one just like it.

Durrrrrrrrrr!!!! is it just me or can anyone else see it too.

My friend, your bike looks COOL, INDIVIDUAL, CONTROVERSIAL, (It makes people talk because its a 250) AND ONE OFF. All of those things are good, and I strogly recomend you dont listen to twats that just want to make themselves appear to be "[u]in the know</u>", by negating your efforts.

I know from the comments on here you have respect for what you're doing, across the board. and It aint all abpout BIG C.C. its about dedication.

Stay focused mate, with out any doubt what so ever in my mind, you are on a winner. And thats no bull shit!!!!!!

RANT OFF
