    Wifeys CBR400 streetfighter gets a new arse

    So this is my next project....needs a fair bit of TLC so its going to be fully stripped. It has after market Coerce rearsets, billet clip-ons and a st/st exhaust. We still have the new black screen from her old one too.
    The frame and wheels will be powder coated and it will get a custom paint job with some new graphics.















    She couln't wait to swing her leg over it when she saw it yesterday...her face lit up as she wheeled it up and down the garage...

    Hey Russ, I have a single seat fibre glass racetail for CBR900 sitting in the shed, I reckon I can do you a good deal if u want it.

    First stage complete....only nasty I found was a bent and badly straightened fork...they're pitted to hell anyway so not really an issue.
    Found a few bolts missing...minor stuff like a subframe frame
    On the plus side it looks like its got $1000 worth of Sansei clip-ons and Coerce rear sets :grin: And the st/st exhaust is light as.
    The previous owner certainly got his moneys worth from the front sprocket......

    Had a bike go into a local shop with the chain pulled
    tight as a F#ckin' bow string. Couldn't have pulled it
    any tighter if they'd tried.
    When questioned the kid/owner said...
    "It has to be like that, else it just makes a noise
    and won't go!"
    Guess what the front sprocket looked like ?

    Thought it was about time for an update...been busy with work etc blah blah.......

    Frame has been etch primed and Satin blacked. Engine gloss black with st/st engine set. Purple Samco hoses on order.
    The subframe has been powder coated...was $50 min cost at blasters...$60 to have it coated....


    Wheels are off to the powdwer man this week, swing arm is being prepped for paint.
    Bought one half of a 1098 Ducati muffler set...dirt cheap on ebay and looks the dogs...
    Bodywork is being stripped at work...the seat unit had 1.7mm of paint on it...I measured a bit that I peeled off !!!! And now it weighs a lot less too......
