Ivan, you have always been different. I guess that's why we like you.
Lights looks cool mate.

"It's the eighties and I'm down with the ladies"
We, it's been in bits again but back together today.
Fucking shit 23 year old needle and seats give it in.
number 1 carb was dripping the other week so i ripped the carbs off and the runner was FULL of fuel.
Oil smelled of fuel too.... Dump the oil and put some new shit in, fucked around with carbs and them number 3 did the same thing FUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
anyway i got new parts and then had fueling problems with number 1 again. more FUUUUUUUUU!!!!!
I somehow moved the float height and it wasn't fueling..... all back together and good.
Will have to put it on the dyno to make sure its ok...
I think i'll write a letter to Mr. Suzuki to tell him how "very very angry i am with you" 23 years ffs...
Now that its running i can take it to work and fininsh the headlight covers...
Been a while with not much done, made some headlight covers and a LED front running light under the plate.
Tuning is all good, I have mapped fuel pressure against boost and there is more fuel pressure all the time.
Haven't turned the boost up yet so still 130HP at the wheel
Just need to make a new dash then paint the it, not too keen as it means I have to clean it...
looking good ivan i like the headlight set up it looks great
Glenn Eason drinks and smokes and lends his arse to other blokes
i was just thinking the same thing rod lol
the race card and flat profile on the forks is just horn
but i wish this bike wasnt sssa imo :-)
Thanks Rod.
Really ozzy? What don't you like about it?
Is it the shitty rattle can paint? The fact I haven't cleaned it in over a year? Or just the shitty standard wheel?
I had been looking at a late model gix swinger a while ago but haven't thought about it much.
Also I've got a wog chrome front guard coming in the mail, should look a bit nicer.
lol like i said just imo cause i really like what u are doing and this is one of my fav bikes here atm
i just have never taken to sssa's, there are some bikes i have seen that it really works on(robmacs blade comes to mind)
but most it just seems there is some thing about them that unballance the look of the bike from the side
yr bike has that great squat tuff racey stance at the front that goes so wel with the light option and engineering then opens up and looks all washed out and soft on one side at the back, all this is subjective i mean i think a dirty zephyr is sexy lol
btw if u want a busa arm russ has had mine up on ebay a few times
btw chome is for chap wearing ass pirates..............
and those mirrors are not to bad for the price are they :-)
Far enough ozzy, ill pass on the swing tho.
Mirrors are great, $30 or $40 ... I broke one and didn't care, just get some more...
I love sssa on most bikes , this one not at the moment. Earlyer in your build it looked more "in place" now the front end has more going it doesnt seem to fit in my minds eye. I dont find it unpleasant , just doesnt seem to flow with the rest of the bike in its current shape.
I do love the front end now , I've always been a fan of your bike. The lights/covers and the race plate all just seem to work just right, hiding the lights at the sides a stroke of off the wall intelligence.
Fuck you cunts, I spent a few hours last night looking at swingers, then looked at swing arms
I don't normally give a shit about what other people think but i must have had doubt about it already.
It is a fighter I guess and ever evolving.
I fell kinda like a lebonese ass pirate. i have a polished frame and carbon fibre.. I know it was a 90's thing but is it really that bad. those were the days i had a head full of hair and was getting laid every weekend.... i just don't want to let go.
It is a fighter I guess and ever evolving.
so farkin true!
Not being biased but i luv your bike latheboy. Awsome , no nonesense, used daily fighter. Thats what they're supposed to be about arnt they.
The ssa looks great. There is alot going on up front now but you'd have to go all pimped 300 section rear end to compete with it which would be wrong as well. Carry on with it and see. Could change the wheel to a car rim with more metal to fill it out more or even paint with changing colours from front to back to alter the what catches the eye etc.
Anyway mate, its your bike so you just keep doing what makes you happy with it.
Oh and whats your steering damper off?
Yeah i'm keeping the SSSA i dig it.
I have a plan for the wheels.
It's an Öhlins SD, got it with the bike.
Don't worry mr.zxr, I still pump out Poisons greatest in times of need
[IMG][/IMG]Clutch is back together, I went for a cruise on a private road to see if I could get it to slip.
It seems fine on 9PSI and hitting the limiter in 1st and 2nd, I run out of private road.
Green is fuel pressure and red is boost.
This is when I fucked it up.
[IMG][/IMG]
The blue run is from ME putting the wastegate controller on backwards so it was a dead end, wastegate stayed shut.
The clutch didn't slip on this Blue run, i shut it down when i saw the boost line going North... Clutch played up afterwards
Before the turbo my bike made 94/96 HP.... And not such a low RPM, in 10KPH on the graph i've gone from 6PSI to 10 and a bit.
If I run it all the way and the motor didn't let go, she would have been a monster.
would have been one hell on a run till some thing when pop lol
love the top run where you can see how well the riseing rate reg works with fuel preasure in a blow though system
