    slow progress

    its coming along slowly the blade as parts come in drips and drabs (holiday to Floriday in Jan to get out of the way!)
    The rear sprocket is on and by heck their is not much room between it and the swing arm! went for 50 teeth after wrongly thinking 52 was big! oops , measured up for a chain and incase anyone needs to know a 525 pitch with 120 links is what i measured, also a ducati monster 1000 uses this 525 chain with 120links so maybe worth looking into.
    got the rear light wired in ok and figured if i extend my earth cable and live to the battery the whole loom eill sit ok under the seat.
    the front guard and rear seat unit is rubbed down. got the tank to do next. the front im leaving for now as a newer blade upside down fork conversion and raisers is next. seen a few sets but these guys look ok too..

    getting their

    a wee update now on my blade, been a bit of time as holidays to florida take the wallet to new lows

    but i now have my Ducati monster chain (525 pitch 120 link) and best of all i now have an exhaust. mate knocked it up for me using my akarapovic link from 2 into one then made the rest, its looking good wanted the 996 look but not so much room, still really pleased.

    how to run without a fuel tank?

    hi all
    im trying to balance my carbs with the new exhaust system.
    how do i run the bike with no tank? it would not fire up just set off a few VERY loud bangs in the exhausts

    Suprisingly it needs a fuel supply to run.....remote tank hanging above with long fuel line ??

    Get a washing up liquid bottle with the little nozzel, clean it out and dry it then fill it with petrol and attach it to your fuel line. Get someone to hold it while you start the motor.

    What CBRRRT said. I just use a Mount Franklin 2 litre bottle with the base cut out, then feed a fuel hose to the tap through the lid and tape it up so it doesn't leak. Put a couple of holes in each side of the bottom (which now has no base as you just cut it out before) and thread some string through them to make a handle for it to hang from upside down. Now you can do the whole thing yourself as you hang the bottle up (with the hose above the level of the engine obviously so it will flow into the tap), fill it with a small amount of fuel and play with the engine.

    updated

    another update !!
    tank seat and front fender are back from paint.look amazing in the light!
    i have now been able to sort out the electrics and that under the seat. the rectifier is bolted onto the subframe and a nice little metal bit made a nice bracket for the rear brake res..
    pretty happy now, the suspension can thing has been moved to inside the bike and cable-tied on out the way!

    opinions welcomed, to unfair or not...................? like the fairing protection but also like fighter look!
    decisions decisions. still want to change the forks to 929 forks.

    If you check Jon's thread you'll see he went through the very same decision problem, and he eventually saw the light:

    http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...age-1.)/page34

    Sadly most of the photos have been lost since the change over! I'll have to se if I can get Sen to help me fix it up.

    Jon should give you the latest photo of his bike finished.
