unfortunately no, still waiting on funds for the tail end. saw that 04 r1 tail in bits for sale thread which got me thinkin but i think i'll stick with the 929 tail mainly cause it's complete and i'm finding it hard to source aluminium out here in bum fuck hollow.

camlark

o.k, so i finally got my funds togeather and purchased this tail end, just gotta work out how to attach it??? got it from pakenham motorbike wreckers, i said i'd put in a good word for him. anyhow they posted it out quick smart and i was impressed so here it is so far, just waiting for seats to arrive so i can see where to join it up. i reckon it'll look pretty sweet though

hopefully get a fatter wheel for the rear and work out where all these other leftover bits that i'll be fucked if i can remember where they go. if i cant work it out theyll go in a box till something dosen't work right and i find the spot for em.

Mate ive have a very quick question for you in the pic where your doing some welding your using a mini mig yeah?????

And your doing alloy welding yeah??????

Are you using a gasless alloy roll like you can get for a mig or are you using a gas bottle rthat i just cant see.?????

Loving your work on the bike by the way;)always had a soft spot for slabbies.

camlark

damo, it's actually a mate of mine doing the welding, the welder in the pic is a remote , she's a lincoln diesel gen set welder setup running alum gas, argon i think.

Cheers mate from the pick it looks like a mini mig, which i have and was hopping that you may be able to get gasless alloy rolls.

damo, i know you can get little disposable bottles for those little migs,might be worth investigation.

What's going on inside the exhaust tip? Some kinda back pressure adjuster? Does it make a noticeable difference?
Bike looks great mate.......

camlark

dunno, standard headers where i cut the old can off. got another can to fit to it yet. not long discovered a bloke in town with an exhaust bender so i think i'll be doing some experimenting today!!

looks good, we'll have to get a ride sorted.

camlark

Cant wait to go for a blat, still a lot of minor details to consider, like the lack of brakes and chain and stuff, you know "minor" stuff.

Really like that colour Cam, could you maybe take some nice largish pics of the whole bike side on??? them pics don't do it justice..

camlark
09-09-2010, 08:57 AM

What levers are you going to use mate?

camlark
09-09-2010, 06:25 PM
need to find some levers with remote resiviors so i can do something like this,but a lot cheaper of course!!
http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1284067621.jpg

BTW: this pic gives me a stiffy!!

camlark
09-09-2010, 10:04 PM

Those type of levers will look sweet, I think Banditrod used a similar set up on his Predator Bandit and had some issues with the brake fluid spewing out of the tubes under pressure?
