My my you have been a busy boy haven't you, well done, so far so nice keep the pics comming

[Gix11]

It looks raw already mate. Nice work.

[WATEVR]

my word you got bitten by that darn bug pretty hard didnt you!! good luck mate it is lookn good

[chopiesel]

got the gixxer subframe today, also got the undertail and solo seat cover, just need the tail plastic to arrive.

its a little high when mounted so i think im gona cut the bottom bars shorter and put adjustable rose joints there so i can set it to the exact hight i like.

just goto work out radiator and do something with the pipes.

[fimpBIKES]

good shit mate

im suprised that rear subbie lines up at all!
bit of luck eh

how about a side on shot to show the true angle?

[HueyonaBlade]

I like what you have done with the front guard , did you just cut it down or was it like that fully faired?

[chopiesel]

it was like that when i had the fairing

[chopiesel]

[HueyonaBlade]

Those lines are perfect? Thats the angle Im hoping to end up with on my Blade . And the cans Chop? Are you leaving them at that height or are you gettn'em up along the sub frame?

[Gix11]

I'd be leaving them there with the weight at the wheel to look stocky rather than making it top heavy.

[chopiesel]

im not sure what to do with the pipes. one thing i really hate is long pipe going up behind the rearsets, ( like you see with home made underseat pipes ), i can lift them up about an inch from where they are now so i might see what it looks like with the tail unit on and ill make two hangers off the rear peg mounts. if it still looks too low ill cut the pipes under the swinger and get them tigged on a higher angle.

its amazing that most people would think to change the way the pipes are now as they are way to low compared to the tail, yet suzuki bring out there k7 that way....madness.

[chopiesel]

well finaly got a tracking number for my tail, seems it still in texas!!!!

well the tiller most def wont be at AFR this year, god damn it.

[jakam04]

Who is this clown you bought this tail off chop? Ive recently purchased an item from US and that wank is also dragging the chain... might be the same dumb arse...

I reckon we should have a register of bad ebayers.
I'm fighting some toss that didn't bother to insure his parcel, now claims its gone missing and I have paypal on my case.
Oh sorry to but in, bike looks great mate.

[loosebruce]

I've got a spare 95 GSXR11 rear piece if you want to try that chop.

[kookaburra]

hey chopiesel how much where the can and where they like that or did you shorten them

[chopiesel]

i shortend them myself, i had my bike diagonaly in the back of a ute and the ramp was in with it and i hit big bump and the bike bounced up then down enough to dent the front of the can underneath. they cost around 500 usd origionally.

[kookaburra]

have been thinking of shortening my remus can did it make them much louder

[chopiesel]

ummmm yes just a tad, its actually fucking loud.

there is only about 50mm of the perforated tube left inside, and no packing.

[chopiesel]

my tail left the usa on the 15th of march.

ok i need opinions.

i dont unfortunantly have enough of the yellow i painted the rest of the biek in to paint the new tail

what colour should i do?

(sits here patiently for all the usual suspects to say if not enough yellow, paint all the bike one colour.... Matt black)

[shift1313]

thats looking great man. I think the lines look really good. How about painting the tail blue and white, or maybe a bit of blue and yellow since you have a bit left. just tie the yellow in as best you can?

[baldrick]

Or how about painting it all matt black!
Or orange!
Seriously

[alfiestorm]

matt black with a satin clear coat [:p][:p]

[Stocky]

Any chance of a close up pic of the front sprocket cover / clutch actuator ?

[kookaburra]

undertail and seatcowl black and tail yellow if you have enough should look good
black and yellow always look good together

[RUSS M8]

Havn't seen many TL fighters I like, but this one is coming along well, reckon it will be hot when you finish the rear end!

Looking good there Chop, love the way that huge frame and radiattors hide that ugly V-twin motor :D

[HueyonaBlade]

Thats a perfect tail height Chop, for my thoughts , Nice 1

[Gix11]

What tail is it mate? Looks like a Gixer thou.

[chopiesel]

yeh its a 00-03 750,600 tail, also fits the thou from 01-02. gixxer subframe too.

[WATEVR]

coming along nicely chop. i used the same h/light did u get from ebay?? i cut the brackets about half way down the slots to sit it closer to the forks and it worked ok if your where wondering.

[chopiesel]

yeh it hought about it but its sits pretty good for now as im using the stock dash in there.

[RUSS M8]

I hadn't seen a nice TL fighter in ages, now they are popping up everywhere! And that is coming along very noice, Gixxar tail works well I reckon.

[Hillsy]

Yeah - ditto Chop, looking nice with that tail. I'm guessing you haven't taken it for a spin at night with your new headlight?......You can get brighter inner bulbs from most hardware stores - I went with 35W inners at 16 deg pitch for mine. Better, but still not great (they just aren't as good as a normal reflective dish headlight). Looking good, though!

[chopiesel]

well i had a good arvo, pretty much all done. just need to pick up the seat tommorrow.
