    Meet VENOM - Exben's TL is alive

    Ok so heres the story, the Bitza's gone so I need a bike to ride to the 2007 AFR. The TL has been sitting in boxes in the corner for too long, It's time to get this thing together.
    I've got about 7 weeks to do.........well...........EVERYTHING![:0]
    Some stuff on the list is,
    1. Get bits anodized/powdercoated
    2. Fit the single sider setup (this should be fun )
    3. Decide on, buy/build a seat unit
    4. Assemble the rolling chassis
    5. Mount the headlight
    6. Rewire the bike to suit all the new goodies
    7. Paint the bike
    8. Get it registered
    9. Tune it & Run it in.
    10. Do it all in between doing real (Paying) jobs..................
    .................................Oh shit[:0]
    This is what it looks like today...Gulp....

    ZX10R, worked good if you can find one at a reasonable price, cause there only 400mm wide.

    just sold a Zx6 thermo unit,$65...pays to reply to emails sometimes.Ever concidered anodised powdercoat Ben?costs a bit more,but available in satin,matt,gloss and pearl finish.Also some wild hybrid clear coats if your coater is any guru.
    As if it wont be ready for AFR07,should only take 90 minutes to re-assemble.Unfortunately it will be always missing 2 cylinders.

    Jesus Ben,your kiddin aren't you.I'm panicked about getting my bike running in 7 weeks and you've gotta build a whole bike.You must reeeally like stress.
    Don't forget to fit in that small paying job involving risers and renthals

    ZX6 rad is not suitable. Anodised powdercoat?? Is this like a candy powdercoat? Yes it's missing 2 cyls but methinks the bigger disadvantage is the S word on the tank

    SEVEN WEEKS........

    Orange County Choppers built one of their Massey Fergusons from scratch in three weeks.

    With an unlimited budget........

    and an unlimited workforce......

    and a multi million dollar workshop.......

    and with parts that mostly came from a catalogue, and click together like lego.....

    and they had someone else paint/powdercoat it........

    Yeah you should have a ball mate!! JEEESSSSUUUUSSSSS........!!

    Seven weeks and i bet the bloody thing will still steal the show at the AFR.

    Let me know if you need someone to bolt the rotors on, or order pizza, or mop your brow.
