GPZ 600 project update 10/10/07.

Nah that was the rear end playing up Damo, it knew you were behind me and kept puckering up . I've still got working antidive so I don't get too many front end problems.

And yeah I was more like 95-100 kgs back then. Plus the 9 is bigger and heavier than a 600r, but I'd imagine that Streets is potentially heavier than your wife, and maybe rides a bit harder too, no insult intended but that is generally the way of the world.

The information that I'm quoting (I've never seen the benefit of removing anti-dive so never have) is from sites like OSS and GPz900r.org where members have removed anti-dive. They also reckon that it gives the front end a wooden feeling.

No insult taken you are right she just cruises around and im just enjoying the shit stir.

Im just getting in first because you told me your going back to being an arsehole thats all.

C'est moi? an arsehole? [:0]

Too fuggen right mate [}]

and keep it up, wouldn't want this place to become boring now would we

[streets]

Did a little bit today, the linkage is sorted and the swingarm is all done. Painted the wheels as well but the front rim turned out crap due to a faulty spray can (wrong colour and way too thin), oh well i'll just have to do it again.

[damo1]

Lov the colour Streets

The stuff turn up to mate if you didnt get my txt
cheers mate

[HueyonaBlade]

Thats looking awsome streets , colour scheme will really set it off

[shift1313]

that rim looks great.

a side note on the anti-dive. On my version gpz, when you block it off you need to run a bypass line between the two fork legs. also you can use a spacer shim at the top of the fork leg to "preload" the spring a bit. just blocking them wont work in anything ive seen

Exactly.

ohhhhh chalkys got back up now well never here the end of it

Ah streets i notice after looking back through the thread that your
going to run a 4into1 can?

In the early shots its got the orig twin system.
Did you reroute the system to join up under the bike or did you run a complete 4into1 set of headers.[?]

And if you did, did you retain the centre stand or ditch it?[?]

And if you took off the orig cans why wherent they in the box of gear i got off you??????your not using them are you????

Damned right pretty boy

I may be full of shit, but it's good shit

[streets]

yeah 4 into 1 damo and the center stand is still under consideration. the original cans were both stuffed sorry.

[damo1]

No dramas streets.

Ya crack me up chalky.

[streets]

Here's how it's looking tonight:

[Gix11]

Fucking hell mate! How can anyone make a GPZ600 look like that, or even have the bollox to try? You are on fire mate. Do you have the front wheel as well? Are you adding straight bars? Get it finished up as I know a magazine that would be interested in that one.

[Hillsy]

Yeah - that's an amazing transformation! Needs a USD front to bring the whole lot into balance - maybe RGV with an NSR wheel to match the rear?? Unreal.

[streets]

I'm drawing up some custom rotors ATM, the forks will stay purely for budget reasons (the bike has cost significantly less than 1k to date) but you can see the front fireblade wheel in the background of the 3rd pic.

[damo1]

Holy fuck streets thats awesome mate ill have to talk to the missus and see if we can
fighter hers now thats a graet job mate.

[streets]

I machined down the sprocket carrier today, took 6mm off it and my chain line is perfect, no need for an offset sprocket!
The front wheel is on now too, just waiting on my rotors to come back from the lasercutter and then off to the exhaust shop.

[shift1313]

the bike is looking great!. I dont know about the front tire though, it looks a bit tall to me, is that actually a 16" front?

i also love the seat on your kdx in the back sit and clean your rump at the same time

[zx12argh]

looks good mate - theres only a couple things on that bike that give it away as a GPZ. Great work!

I'm bloody jealous of all you guys out there with your own machining tools...
