No worries matey - if she's not worth restoring get fightering then.quote:Originally posted by Eukanuba
Hillsy, I'd love to keep it all stock bro but the simple is, that it was dropped quite hard.. the plastics are pretty much U/S, the mounting brackets are all munted.. replacements will cost more than i spent on the bike.. and it's just not economically viable to 'restore' to original per se..quote:Originally posted by Hillsy
Nice write up, but PLEASE don't cut it up! [:0]
I love those H1's as stockers (I have one in my dream shed....) []
Welcome aboard
So, anyone feelin keen to help a noobie bitch like me make a bitchin tail for this puppy ?
The hard and fast is, I've gotta get it done and dusted in time for the northam show.. ( that's the plan ) the reality.. I've probably got SFA chance.. but i'll work at it..
I can help with some of it(subframe) but i suck at fibreglassing
Awesome work Chris! Most well photographed build ive seen in a while too! Rekon ur on a winner there mate, well done!
i've got a couple of tails up for sale(cbr1000rr/cbr600rr)if that can help.
thanks guys, i was posting this build up over on psb - but.. being that billywhizz reckons i should post it up here - i was waiting till the 'deconstruction' was almost complete before i bored you all with a 300 page ' where's the bolt to get the tank off ? '
Scotty mac, yeah - I'm interested mate.. I'm thinking something short, sharp.. like the new 1098 ducati tail, or something distinct.. I've got a 97 900rr blade, and it's got a nice tail.. but not really as agressive as i'd like..
But I'm definitely interested - What have you got there matey ? ( if it saves me a week on the glassing.. it's time saved that I can spend on getting things polished etc )
this is what a wiring loom looks like - removed from a H1 zxr 750...
and i've removed the front 2 bolts that hold the top of the rear section on..
cluster is completely removed, electrically and physically...
basically, it's just 2 bolts up front.. holding it in...
when you release the front, the entire rear section drops about 6"...
gotta get the rear section off.. here's the 2 bolts either side holding the tray in..
2 phillips screws holding in the top...
the trays off... that looks easy to get at...
making progress...
2 bolts holding that section on..
here's the pivot bolts that hold the bottom of the rear section to the main frame on the bike..
rear section comes away nicely...
looks a bit like a trials bike now...
another angle...
gotta get those 2 bolts out - to remove the battery tray.. and remove the reservoir for the rear brake..
and, it's off...
diiiiiiirty...
let's get that " so cool " hugger off the back wheel...
2 phillips screws holding it in, either side...
checkout that munted brake line.. that's sooo gonna get changed with braided lines...
from the other side..
fo shizzle !
now, doesnt that look much cleaner
that's the much reveered power plant, right there..
looks kinda lonely.. doesnt it ?
looking empty and much lighter...
something in this picture just aint right...
looks different to what we originally started with..
bought a new front stand.. makes stuff like this alot easier...
and let's make it count...
nice documentation mate for all us newbies top job keep it coming
im having trouble with my zx6r swing arm can't get it out not sure if it screws out unlikely or to hit it but trying to avoid that one
Ok, i'm looking at that back end - and to have it exposed seems a touch 'unfinished'
So I'm looking at something like this... ( excuse the corny chopper reference, I'm just looking at the wheel cover.. )
Just that guard.. can anyone here help me out with a bit of fabrication ? ( this is well beyond my capabilities )
You need someone with an English Wheel. Try asking Pommy Choppers, I reckon he'd know.
Ok, an on we move..
next for today - remove that ancient antique 1989 monoshock..
spanner either side..
bolt is out..
here's the bottom, same deal.. nut and bolt.. bolt is off...
once it's out - the entire rear section is more limp than hugh heffner..
notice how degreaser works wonders ?
and this is what it looks like - nothing special, spectacular or anything else..
Nice detailed thread mate.
Keep em pics coming
Don't forget to secure the chain to anchor before throwing overboard
I'd love to throw it, but where else will i find a motor for no out of pocket ? unless you got a spare one sitting in the shed
Well, aparently the carbs are passed their use by date - and the monoshock is going to be pricey - which leads me to either a hagen from the UK or something similar for around $600 aud..
I have little choice at this point other than to either locate a set of low k' carbies - or put a cheap ( if i can find one ) motor from a zx9 into it.. or from another zxr750..
I'm really starting to get a bit blue about the whole thing, I had no idea it would be this difficult.. *sighs*
If any of you guys can point me in the right direction - I'd appreciate it..
( I think i'm not all that far from standing right back and start throwing matches at it ! :P )
Don't give up mate - much cheaper to find a 2nd hand replacement / donor shock from another bike. Here's a bit of shock info from http://oldskoolsuzuki.info/

And there is a motor swap kit / how to for ZX9 into ZXR on the web somewhere - Turbokat might have the link (??)
