| I think I understand what you are saying mate but I'm goverened by two fixed points, point 1 being the manifold and point 2 being where the end cans bolt to the sub frame. The only bit that will change is the link pipe between the end can Y and the collector where 4 into 2 into 1. I dont know how I can do anything about that. Any idea's. |

| Just on the zorst thing... If you keep the last single section after the 2 into 1 the same lentgh as standard then split it for the slincers and do any extending necessary there, it should work pretty much same as standard. The further back you go the less important the section lengths are. |

| Thanks mate, I have it booked in to have the zorst welded up next Monday, and I have booked a slot with Daytona paints for the middle of Feb so by the end of Feb we should have a finished project "Thank Fuck" I've been gagging to get back out on it. |

Well, I think I've done all I can do untill I get my bike back from the zorst guy and the painter, so I thought I would find a new project to keep me busy untill I can get back to the final build on my blade. I think I have found the new project.........
I'm gonna do some colouring in. If you want to have a go just right click on the immage and save to your pictures, and print it off from there.
Remember no going over the lines. |

Looking forward to seeing the finished article... Still been riding mine, makes me smile that does. Fitted an immobiliser today. Looks like I've got a swingarm sorted.. All I need now is a hub.. |

Its off to the welder tomorrow to have the zorsty bits done. Last week I saw an R1 rear hugger on ebay and I thought I might go on the VFR arm so I did a buy it now and it arrived yesterday. It didn’t take to much to get it to fit and it looks good. I was hoping it would arrive before the Blade went off so I could fit it and be sure the link pipe would still fit, and it will so happy days.

Other side. It will need to have a bit more work done on it when it comes back from the welder but its on, its rigid, and it will fit with a little more work.

Hey Michael, glad to hear you have your swing arm sorted mate, nows the time to have it powder coated if thats the road you are going down. I kinda droped the ball on that one and it would be a major head fuck to rip it all out and start again, although I might do in the future some time lol.
My blade came with alarm and immobiliser fitted so that was ok.
I see from your profile mate you are from Chertsey, Surrey. Quite posh over that way is'nt it, someone told me once that people in Surry get out of the bath to take a piss, Is that true???????????
What will the locals think of you when you start ripping up the roads on the fightered blade mate. Do they talk posh over there mate and say things like "Fa-ka-king euligen's" Are you posh mate? Are you rich? How much money have you got? Can I come round your house? Can I have a go on your bike mate? Can I bring all me mates with me and have a party at yours? has your wife got a sister mate? Is she alright, does she put it about a bit? When can I come over? I'll try and keep next weekend free me old mate, me old buddy, me old pal! Let me know wont ya?
Anyway, till then, I'm still waiting for a few bits and bobs to arrive through the post, like rear sprocket, blinkers, Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiney front break res cap from Germany, but in the main I have just about everything I need now.
Its snowing like fuck where I am now mate, hows it where you are. I guess we have a week or two of shit on the way so be carefull on that blade mate.
Catch ya later mate, and I'll keep an eye out on the hub front for you fella.

It's Michel... I'm originally french but came to England as a kid and kinda stayed on for a while...Snowing like fuck here too. Went to the petrol station to get some posh wine, like what we do round here, on my missus' scooter and nearly stacked it... If it's a choice between riding a 'blade on cut slicks to work in the snow or pulling a sickie.. Oh hang on I'm think I'm coming down with something... That R1 hugger looks brilliant BTW. |

He's also from your part of the world.
What chain and sprockets have you got on yours matey, I'm haveing a bit of trouble at the moment with mine. Tomanyprojex gave me a good web site to look at but they wont answer my emails or pick up the phone. Perhaps they have gone under, who knows mate.
J'no wot, I'm almost at the point where I'm gonna say "Fuckit, where's my side cutters"
Thanks for your little kiss on the doodle again mate but Ireland and Australia from memory arnt in the same part of the world
Whats happening with the headlight mate Nice to hear paint is coming , giv'em the hurry up |

Fuck me, I dont know what gave me the idea you were from Ireland mate. Sorry about that. I think I might of drifted off in to my own little world again, I do that sometimes. Well mate the headlight is going to cost somwhere about 200 GBP and over the next week or so I'm spending about a 1000 GBP and I still dont have a job. So the headlight will have to go on hold, for now anyway. I'm off to the welder in a couple of hours to get my zorst done and he wants £100.00 for that then mid feb I have it booked in to the painter. I sent him some pic's and he quoted me £650.00 for one colour, if I wanted more than one it would go up to a grand.
I figure if I get the bike painted now, and decided to do the head lamp next year I could pop off the fairing, do the wireing and pop on the new jobby. The guy said he keeps a bit of paint from the batch in store for any later changes or dings anyway so we should have all our bets covered mate.
So, I recon, by the end of Feb we will have some finish photos to look at mate.

| FFFFFrench yes. And yes the pub landlord is a funny cunt... Gotta a hub now too, woo hoo! Need a wheel, shoulda bid on that vfr800 one you tipped me - bollox, and a caliper, should be easy enough. I think I will powder coat the arm before I fit it, was thinking of doing the frame to match but I don't want to take the bike off the road for long and stripping bikes to the frame and waiting years form them to come back from the coaters before discovering that they forgot to mask off half the bolt holes is an utter ball ache. Had a bar of stainless steel I've been wondering what to do with but now it has SPACER written all over it - will look nice polished.... Right fire up the lathe.. |

Ha Ha, I'm Ok with the French thing mate, I go out every couple of years for the big Carp and Cats. I broke 3 personal bests last summer with a 42.lb Cat, 44.lb Common Carp and a 51.lb Mirror Carp, happy days mate. Check out the home page on my profile to see the photos mate. Lovely fish but stink of garlic.
Glad to hear about the hub mate, and there will be more wheels come up all the time, focus on looking for other parts untill it does mate.
You have a lathe, cool, why not run up a set of frame plugs with rubber O rings to push fit over the swing arm spindle bolt ends, they would look quite cool.
With the spacer thing mate, I followed the instructions I found on the internet to do my arm, and dont get me wrong, it worked fine, but when I fitted the spacer in I felt it needed a lot of take up with the adjusting bolt to tighten down. I think it could have been 5 to 10mm longer. I would advise you to look at where your castle nut sits in the frame before you start and think about getting it back to the same place, as mine sits further in. Perhaps make your spacer 35mm long, mock it up to see how it sits and if need be trim a bit off the end. you can always trim off but its difficult to add it back on.
Dont forget to start a thread and post lots of photos mate. |

Well, I took my bike into the guy to get the zorst welded up yesterday, and he has a workshop like you woul'nt believe. He builds Trikes, bikes, choppers and fighters. The guy has done some real high end stuff and I cant wait to see what kind of job he does with my zorst. 
He seemed to be well switched on about bikes of all kinds and I asked him if he could sort out a niggling problem I had with the bike before I stacked it. 
I told him it was running a bit lumpy, he had a bit of a look around and said "Its nothing serious mate, just shit in the air filter" 
I said "Fan-fuckin-tastic mate, how often do I need to do that?" 
He said "I'll call you when its done!" and walked off

Forget I said anything!
16inch 130/70 = 1848mm
17inch 120/60 = 1809mm |
You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'. |
