    Themadposties '88 Kwaka GPX600R

    Hey all....

    The beginnings of something a little different.





    Build will be as fast as time allows, which I have a bit of.....

    Plans are...

    New stumpy uplift tail
    Polished motor with red accents
    Red Frame
    Red Tank
    Embelishing with alloy checkerboard
    Checkerboard mini screen
    Twin lights already fitted
    Mini lights all around.
    Bar end mirrors.
    Acewell mini Dash(fitted)
    Nitrous
    Polished swingarm modified to accept 150 tyre(currently 130)
    Red chain
    Stumpy exhaust(already shown)
    Pretty much lots of chrome, polished alloy and stainless.
    If it isnt shiny, its red or black.

    Motor currently puts out 82hp at the wheel dynoed, with the standard airbox.

    With rejetting to suit the pods(shown), not sure, but will be good for a 600......

    Might strap a turbo on it later.... we'll see....

    Sexy motor mate. The gpx frmae looks much easier to mess with than the gpz6 frame. Thats's a pretty wild swingarm angle for a stocky, what did you do?

    Fuck - I really like that - cept you wouldn't need that brace - you could work it with something a bit less obtrusive.

    If you dont do it mate - I will. Project #2? Nah not yet...

    Gone a different way with the exhaust now... was using the silencer shown, but cut down the can to suit instead.... a little too much noise and flames for my liking...

    Posting pics shortly of the Acewell Guage insitu, and the can fitted....

    I'll drop the lights and have a gander....

    As far as the seat goes, I've started the new subframe, and it wont have ANY ducktail.... just a seat. I want bare bones, no frills..... pics also to come.. probly next week, as I'm going away for a dirty weekend down the coast with the mrs....

    sounds like some dodgy cnut selling cheap knock-offs, that definitely is NOT a geniune acewell

    grab the nearest bit of steel pipe and go get your money back mate

    i think he was joking i fitted the same one to my mates slingshot good clocks, although the rev counter is quite jumpy.
    keep us posted on the bike, it'll soon become an addiction

    Yeah the solution to the tacho is a direct coil connection, or getting as many turns on the lead as possible.

    I had the same issue.... works just fine now....

    I'll have to get used to the jokes if thats what it was..... soz if I misunderstood....

    I tend to read it as it looks.... sarcasm is hard to read......

    Yeah its a combo extension and silencer. Doesnt do an aweful lot, but does do a little. I'll have the new stumpy can finished on Sunday with a bit of luck. Going to the bike show in Brizzy on way back from coast. Should be good. Will post pics once done and dummy fitted.
