[fimpBIKES]

your kidding right?
its not "late" for at least another hour

charts are good, can u email to me?

[fimpBIKES]

i have just been playing with my little overflow bottle

its actually an oil catch-can off ebay
jeez its nice, cost about fifty bucks but woulda taken my hours to machine

still, if i can find a good enough spot it wont quite fit in i might cut it in half
later i guess, just hang it off the side for now

[sprbeast]

hey fimp, can you post a pick of the catch bottle and how well does she work? i have a bunch in my watched list but have been hesitant for some reason. after moving the battry to the tail left a well enough void for something. i like the ones with the fitted tube for the site window. i was also contemplating modding up a box for where the old damper box was beside the spring. but like ya said it will be much easier to fancy a prefabbed unit off ebay!

[fimpBIKES]

looks like this
its a bit porky, but i figure with the amount i have stripped off her already it wont worry things too much

good thing is that because of its construction u can undo the upper bolts and swivel the direction the hoses come in from, which i imagine will come in handy

oh, and the bolt from the bottom is magnetic fwiw

got around to tapping the holes in my veypor mount that i bandsawed out the other week
its made from 12mm and 3mm ally after the nylon one i did a few months back wasnt too my liking
2x M5 flat head cap screws come down from the top of the 3mm ally and then into the tapped lower part of the clamp

then the standard veypor bolts come up from the underside of the 3mm ally
very neat, im pretty chuffed with it
jut need to rip it apart and trim the 3mm down to a minimum once i have all the other various brackets done [8D]

[fimpBIKES]

this shot shows a bit more of how it works

i was wanting to replace the veypor bolts with torx screws
but i think that they might be imperial (not M5 like i thought originally)
so that might make things tricky

[fimpBIKES]

so now i just need to do the mount to adjust the beam height,
im actually suprised that it doesnt look too gaudy

[fimpBIKES]

what u reckon, lower it by about 50mm?

[pt]

yep

I thought a busa headlight would look like a fucking walrus, but that looks ok

Can you do a full side on pic pls mate?

[Gix11]

I always love your mood lighting Fimp......

[Slingblade]

I like it fimp. Kinda looks similar to an MV Brutale light. Its definately coming along mate.

[fimpBIKES]

yep, its too high!!!

[Large]

ta fimp

that exhaust is going to be loud

[fimpBIKES]

no, THAT exhaust is going to sound like shit cos its the stock one

the OTHER exhaust is going to be loud, hopefully loud enough to wake u up in the morning mate

[BOHEMION]

looking NOICE Fimp get some Braided Hoses / lines ASAP mate

[Gix11]

You have gotta fit that new tail mate, that one sucks balls.

[fimpBIKES]

im thinking for radiator hoses that i will get some custom stainless ones done

i have a friend who has been using my tig to make up intercooler plumbing for a few years
so he owes me a favour or two

the way the hose jut comes straight out of the chassis rail like the photo above is going to make braided stuff too much of a hassle

[fimpBIKES]

sooooory mr gix,
dont blame me
blame the knob who made up the ADR's for motorcycles

and that hasnt even got the super fugly mudgaurd on it yet!!
it just aint right...

[Slingblade]

Its similar to my blade mate. Chunky ass. Most bikes were like that mid to late 90's. Even the supposed 'hallowed' Gixxers had serious booty back then. Thats why i am leaving my stock front guard. Dont want to make it look 'back heavy' with a tiny guard on the front.
