I'm cruising through mate, how's yourself? Still playing in the force.
And yes I'm out of Roies, that's why I'm riding so much atm, no 'girlfriends' anymore [:0]
Actually Pizz, how did you mount the rad/cooler? I just made up a discrete u-bracket, but you can still see some of it. (I'll take some pics in the next day or 2)

Chalky the way the rad-oil cooler mounts was easy after a few attemps.Iam a plumber by trade so i got some 10mm steel tube and used my tube benders to bend up the brackets.They mount through the original holes on the rad-oil cooler with the rubber sleaves then bolt up with a nut to still allow for some vibration.I will try to get some close up pictures of them as it is easier to explain.I have not got a camera so it could take some time.I knew you would shit can the clip-ons as soon as you saw them,straight bars soon maybe.Love your bike fuck i bet she turns some heads!.

Chalky sorry about the size of the pictures iam not good with these computers still learning how to use them.I hope the pictures are ok to see what i have done.I saw the picture of your bike when you were coming up the street it looks tough,i would love to see the look on people's faces with that in their mirrors.

Pivs look fine mate, and very tasty work there, brackets look factory. Mine was much more of 'yeah she'll be right mate' effort.
And they don't get much time to see me in their mirrors
. But they hear me go past (I like to get nice and tight on a fly by). Just love the way the old 9's launch from any speed.
I was coming through Civic the other day, not watching the road (for obvious reasons) and had to lock her up and come in sideways for some twat who stopped for an orange light. These labourer types standing in a driveway started giving me crap, so since I was already pointed in their direction I just dropped the clutch and sent'em diving as I smoked it up and launched at'em. Thankfully it was a drive way for the local bus station with an exit out the other side.
I think I should be taking Prozac or summat sometimes.

Looks great....Not many of those around here any more

Hi guys i have not posted for a while so i thought i would tell you what i have planned for the kwaka over winter.I have got a 2000mdl zx12r motor/pipes/loom/radiator etc with only 4100km on it.I realise this isnt a easy thing to put into a gpz frame ie carby angles but jaffa and myself will sought this out hopefully.I have everything to run the motor except the dash,does anybody know if it will run without it[?].I will post up some progress pics on the weekend.Thanks guys.

looks good pizz, definately has some good rubber under it. exhaust work is top notch as well. You staying with that stock light? im glad its not as deep as the gpz750, mine had 4 miles or wired in the back of the light. Good luck with that 12r swap and take lots of pictures!
-
Yeah, motor'll run without the dash, it's not part of ther ECU system. Doesn't the zx12 motor mount at the crank case level? Gonna need a cage for the front engine mounts methinks.

oh and keep the clipons!! it will handle much better that way, you dont need to be sitting any higher with a 12r motor![Smile](images/smilies/smile.png)
and there is no cradle for the motor, its a stressed member of a 12frame, there is a serious backbone to a 12 frame though. Make sure you brace your back bone heavily!!! cant stress that enough.
-
Go for drag bars, better control than clip ons, and similar height.
Good to know about the motor Shift, there aren't too many options available for the 9.

Mate as chalky said it'll run without the dash - my 12r runs an aftermarket one. If you are interested tho I have a 12r dash sitting here in reasonable condition that I may be willing to part with
Good luck with the build - I've got a GPZ myself. Maybe after seeing yours the 900 will go in the 12r and the 1200 in the gpz...
-
I was thinking about doing that with a GPZ1000RX that I saw for sale last week. The 900 motor for the stock RX tourer and the 1000 for the streetfightered 900R.
