    the cut down loom and coils came with the 1100w motor i brought a while ago.

    I have the loom and it makes it a shit load easier to find any potential porblems with only 6 wires.

    as for removing the starter it probly wont make that much difference but there are about 3 stages of gears that are run off the clutch gear. if the motor dosn't have to spin these gears over then it all counts.

    I could leave the starter in, and the gears and use an external car battery to power the starter directly if i get sick of it.

    but its not that hard to bump start the thing. just annoying if anything.

    just ask Turbokat as he had to bump his thing about 30 times when we went drag racing.

    and also - because i can.

    Depends on your definition of fucking around. Using the original subframe cuts down the work, but it's still no bolt on attachment. We created a whole new subframe for mine - Now that's fucking around!

    Christ you work fast Deano.

    forget about bump starting...a coupla car batteries and a starter motor hooked up to your mother's rubber coated rolling pin, mount the lot in an old lawn mower chassis...and voila...a motogp style roller starter. [8D]

    Maybe that could be the second product in "Deano's Store"

    Even using modified R1 seat. Should look trick when it's all done, so it's worth all the hassels.

    That was the original plan, but thought I might be able to do a one off job instead. If it doesn't work out the way I want I'll go that way for sure.

    Im using my standard/modified subframe to mount my R1 tail and seat.Thort about goin the rose joint(rod end bearing)option,but decided it will look more compliant with the original welded frame setup.Its proving a much easier option so far and all is lining up well,post up some pics soon.

    Who dares question Deano about why??? He didnt become the "multi award winning" fighter builder coz he's got a groovy hair cut.

    Yes the 99 - 00 models are, but there are ways around that.

    nearly finished now.

    cut down loom was fitted with a relay and then she was kick over and burst into life. seems to run great.

    only thing left to do is get a chain fit fairings wire in veyor loom and thrash the shit out of it.


    also fired up the fighter for the first time since reassembly yestreday. just need a RWC and then re reg it.
