    chop it!

  4. #4
    I had a two bros pipe that was rashed/then chopped down but not such a fan of the fart noise and loss of power (from my 400 i know right)
    Only other thing to chop is the subframe maybe, unless theres some clever bastid here can build me a bolt on ali subframe for that same seat...
    Mono shock to come, once i can work out geometry, its either gunna havta be whole new swinga/shock/link/wheel (vfr/rvf400 would be nice, but a bit skinny), or braced frame and swinger and a shock off some 600.

    In my opp I'd leave tail and subframe I like the look
    I'd do something sim to what I was doing with ex's 550 zephyr http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...ife%27s+zephyr
    Usd front end and out to 180 190 rear I was looking at one in car park today
    looks like there is the room at a glance. Mono shock would look good with that tail
    and IMO stay away from sssa just find right arm stock type arm and mod to fit
    Eng to do swap is easy if u know right people, I line faces my own easy as and legal side is
    easy as well on the swap. The front end is even more easy forks at right length buy full front
    end and just machine new steem to suit I worked it out I could do $200 to 300 out of
    7075 ally so any machinist would be under that for beer money

    hah i wish! This "cheap transport" is the damn most expensive thing i have! (bar the missus)
    Just no name because every other bastid has build/project/pet names for their bikes and mines just some whore that i ride..

    I like the idea of USD front, and even was looking into it before i decided i wanted to get married (fookin roite?) had some cbr6 goodies all lined up and ready..
    Yeah probably wont go the SSSA i like the look of beefy block swingarm on both sides.
    Its 160 rear at the moment so maybe up to 170 but only so i can find tyres easier than 160s.
    From the arse end it looks pretty tough at the moment (fer a pipsqueak ova bike) so dont really want to mess too much other than monoshock (eventually)

    on that size bike a 5.5 rear rim with a 180 looks shit hot
    i forgot some pics got lost on change over ill see if i can find the mock up pics for the zephyr so u can see how it looks(they the same size bike)
    if u want to stay with twin shock at the moment id say front end swap and rim swap front and rear and clean up the rest
