That helmet looks great and really matches the bike.

If we'd got off our arses and actually voted for best fighter at AFR, I woulda voted for yours Luke.

[LKC73]

Cheers all, but I wont take credit for the paint, my little bro is the talent behind that.
Large, I was just happy enough to have the bike up there in the tops with you guys. Bring on NFR!

[LKC73]

OK, update on the 750. Its now got a new heart transplant getting ready. 95 1100, the old mongral engine. Here is a picture of it stripped out of the frame but not cleaned. Should be painted and cleaned by weekend.

Will keep this updated as much as I can. Im going through Deano's "how to" for this process, as see how this ends up. ;)

[jakam04]

[jakam04]

Tis a pity you dont have the Akro system I got for it. Had a wicked note. You should have a ball mate.

Hey mate if/when Deano gets back to you, i'll grab one too.

[oldskool]

Well worth it nice covers.

[LKC73]

Engine all cleaned and painted. Got some stainless steel bolts for the covers and made up some "fake braided" oil lines from one of them kits you get from repco and heat 16mm shrink. Just got to collect some more bits before I pull out the 750 and put the 1100 in.

[LKC73]

Hey Lads, well after some muckin around, cleaning and painting and doing the small things, I finally have the 1100 engine in the frame. All I need to do now is just put everything back on.

750 out and on the floor lol..

precisely what I did guys none of this washing bikes and cars shit I just use them and abuse them but that's exactly what I had in mind to do Luke I even have 2 cans of the HVT high temp black paint still here but could never take it off the road long enough to do it

[LKC73]

Thats cool Boris, but while it was on the bench it got a good clean and paint job.

[boris]

yeah that was the plan ur gixxer is way prettier than mine but, and it's good to see it went to a good home, and now u have all the bits u can have some fun

[Fight_fan]

nice work Luke!

[LKC73]

Well, it is now completed, 1st test ride was this arvo and man was that change worth it. The thing is a weapon and a monster to boot (not that I need to tell you guys). Thanks Boris for the suppled motor, Deano for he's how to and Ben for the BXP goodies. Enough chit chat, time for some pictures and a small video.

[Gix11]

That is one clean build mate, you should be proud of that.

[Large]

Me likey

[wackyrider]

Looks great Luke. I just love this bike

[LKC73]

Thanks guys, its been great building this beast, and look forward to the next batch of mods for this monster.
One of which is just a set of ASV's for the ZX14 brake and clutch controls that Ive used on it.
Going to visit Ben for some custom tripple clamps too.

[nick76]

Very Nice.

[LKC73]

Its been a while, and a bit of talking about thinking. The NFR run proved that the brakes on the front let me down some what. The 6 pot calipers jam some of the pistons in. Ive already replaced the seals once, so now im doing an 07 convert from the GSXR 750. Should be stop better once its all sorted.
Ive got the forks, brakes, bottom triple with stem, and Ive been studying the how to section on the main site. I still have to work out if im going to replace both wheels yet, and see Ben to order custom triple clamps (Like I so want!)
Here are some pic's of my goodies to go on!

[wackyrider]

You could do with the brakes mate. I remember when me and Red where on our way to Cooma and you saw us. All I know is I saw a flash of blue as u went past me :D

[rod185651]

The new front end, and lighter wheels will makes a huge difference. trust me.

[LKC73]

Yeah Rod, and Im just about to purchase a set of Marchesini forged alloy wheels found in Qld for $1800 and free postage!! Went with the black as I didnt like the gold and there the only 2 colours they make.
Worked out cheaper buying this set then buying from US with shipping. That is a first for an Oz shop.
I even spoke to the guy in the shop about what I was doing and he was very helpfull.
163

[bluedrags]

Great job looks awesome.

[LKC73]

So Ive hit a bit of a stopper on the new wheels. Spoke to Ben the other day about it and he gave me some good ideas. Ive also thought about fitting up an 07 GSXR rear swingarm to see if I can upgrade both ends. Soon as it lands I'll have more details.
Studied the service manuals on both bikes to see what I could come up with. I'll lets you's know soon enough.
I will be taking pictures when I start to pull this thing down and attach and make new parts.

[Fight_fan]

Sounds good Lukey! U got a sweet deal on those wheels hey!

[LKC73]

Sounds good Lukey! U got a sweet deal on those wheels hey!

Yeah mate, $1799 wasnt bad I thought. Just have to get the rear to fit!

[kiwi kdx]

mate bike looks great, well done!

[Yella]

Looking great keep the update coming:cool:
We may need to start talking about the parts you are swapping out I have a frame in need of everything so I maybe able to help with a shed clean up at some stage :D :cool::eek:

[LKC73]

mate bike looks great, well done!

Cheers mate, but the next batch of mods should make this thing look and ride even better then now!

Yella, Im sure we can work out a deal mate once its all said and done.

[timbo]

Im likeing this next stage of youe build mate, the new forks and clamps with the wheels are going to look porno

[mr.zxr]

$1800 sounds pretty bloody cheap. can't wait to see it all together.

[LKC73]

Been off to visit Ben today, dropped off my old triples for him to remove the steering stem.
Anyhoo, before I did that, I snuck the 2007 forks up in my old triple and put the new wheel on.

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll290/DRA93N/Bikes/1100d.jpg

Also after removing the front end, I took off the frame stay lugs, they wont be needed anymore!

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll290/DRA93N/Bikes/1100f.jpg

Got some S3 discs for the new front wheel, waiting on stainless bolts to attached them still.
Once I get the triples and have it all set up, I'll move onto the rear wheel and new swingarm.

[BANDITROD]

Ooohhh looking good mate I'm hanging to get my wheels for the bandit should almost be here I reckon

[LKC73]

Anyone looking at a pair of wheels, this is where I got mine from http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/wemroseptyltd/m.html?_nkw=forged+wheels&_sacat=0&_odkw=&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3911.c0.m270.l1313

They sell mainly Harley parts, but for some strange reason have a heap of wheels in for sports bikes.

[BANDITROD]

Fuck that's cheap

[kev@vcm]

looking awesome luke and christ thats cheap as chips for rims

[LKC73]

looking awesome luke and christ thats cheap as chips for rims

Cheers Kev, but wait till you guys see what Ben has for me! I got an email with the design I wanted and he is a master of creations! Im so looking forward to showing you all! New pic's will be up soon!!! Also got a pro-bolt delivery today, so the new disc's will soon be attached to the wheels.
Feel like its Christmas..... wait a second, it is :p

[LKC73]

Ben called me today! Oh I thought Xmas was done and dusted until today!! All I can say is thanks Ben, they are bloody awesome and spot on what I wanted! Cheers for taking on the job and the quick turn around.

That wont be long! Just a shame I've got a dinner on with a sweet little thing otherwise I would have cancelled and had them on the bike already hahaha... Plan is tomorrow arvo/night fitting them up :cool:

[mr.zxr]

[mr.zxr]

i'm fuckin jealous. everyone getting forged wheels.

[Gitzy]

They are some seriously good looking triples right there.. Nice work Luke & Ben..

[Fight_fan]

Nice one mate! Be lookin better in no time.

[LKC73]

So I got an early mark from work today, and spent the arvo in the garage. I still have a long way to go with this convert. New brake lines are now required, mine arnt long enough. Few other odds & ends needs to complete the front end. Then I'll start on the new swingarm, if I ever get the bloody thing!
For now, here is a look see.

New S3 discs with stainless pro-bolt bolts.

That looks mental, love it!

[LKC73]

Hey guys, Its been taking my a while to get this bike sorted.
I got my new 2007 swinger, worked out what I need for fitting into the frame, but have no pic's yet.

But I got donated to me a new dash board, have fitted that up now, mask is fitted.
I had to extend the rear mountings for the front fender.

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll290/DRA93N/1100r.jpg
Tripples are easly seen.

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll290/DRA93N/1100v.jpg
Mask, note the dash just peaking out.


http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll290/DRA93N/1100u.jpg
New dash board.

More updates to come soon.

[K6Thou]

Sweet.

[xa-mont]

nice one man. love the triples! not super keen on the risers, but each to their own.

[BANDITROD]

looking good luke well done mate

[LKC73]

So its been in the making a little longer then expected, but its all getting there.
Ben has done a awesome job on making up a fair few suspension parts for this beast.

New dog bone, top mount, triple clamps, machined the hub to correct the chain alighment.

I just need to get brake pads, bleed the brakes, and tidy up some odds and ends and its back on the road!

[LKC73]

By the way, I took these pictures before the chain was fitted up as well. Thats another thing ticked of the list of many. Also the new battery tray/plate has been made and installed. The dash is also completely wired now and works.
Cant thank Ben enough for pushing all the parts through with this bike. Cheers again Ben.

[RevHead]

whats with the rear upper shock mount ,

[Yella]

Very nice

[Gitzy]

That looks Senfuckinsationalsuburbalicious.. Top work Lads..

[LKC73]

whats with the rear upper shock mount ,

That needed to be remade as there is a mix of 2007 GSXR links off the swing arm with a custom made dog bone to suit the 95 frame mounting, then the top mount needed to be higher in the bike and out alot more to run the shock vertical much like in the 2007 GSXR 1000's. If I used the standard 95 unit, the shock was laying over to close to the pivot joint of the swingarm. It was also jacking the bike up to a very stupid hight.
This new top mount makes everything work and place's the shock in the right place.

[TillerRider]

bloody love this bike and you know i'm fussy when it comes to streetfighters hey Luke ;)

[RevHead]

the swinger looks great ,i like the look of it ,nice job
was there much involved with the pivot bolt from swinger to frame or was it change over the bearings and bolt in

[LKC73]

Its not that easy job mate. Its not easy to explain, would have to show you when we catch up at AFR.

[RevHead]

done,il buy

[sen]

Far out this bike has come a long way, and fast. Already one of my fav bikes in ASF, and keeps getting better!

[Fight_fan]

Lookin good lukey!

[Surt]

awesome work Luke! do u have a pic of the whole linkage set up from a ground view, just wonderin how it hooks to the swinger

[El_Hefty]

Looking good Luke although it looked that way at last years AFR so 'its looking better'

[LKC73]

awesome work Luke! do u have a pic of the whole linkage set up from a ground view, just wonderin how it hooks to the swinger

Surt, I'll actually take some more pictures of the set up, I was just to keen to get it back on 2 wheels and forgot to take some of the parts.

[fimpBIKES]

Top shock mount looks PIMP !!!

Surt, I'll actually take some more pictures of the set up, I was just to keen to get it back on 2 wheels and forgot to take some of the parts.

Mate that looks horn! Good work!

[El_Hefty]

yep looking great luke, loving the swinger

[nick76]

Thats real nice!!

[hooligan]

somehow I missed the last few pages of this thread. The bike looks fucking amazing, a 711 with lighweight wheels and modern suspension is fucking awesome to ride. Make sure you post up your grin after the first "real" ride after the shakedown runs.
Great work.

[EXBEN]

The bike looks fantastic Luke , the hard work in stripping the swingarm really paid off, it adds a real tough mechanical look & goes with the frame really well, the wheels are awesome as well, very very nice...

[LKC73]

Cheers guys, it rides awesome and is very light in cornering and brake are bloody awesome!! The only drama now is that Im looking for a new raidiator as the core on this one is rotten. It sprung a leak in the fins last night and peed itself. Bit of a shit really but the original raidiator was always dodgy.
Any suggestions on a replacement if I cant find another 95 unit to replace it with?
Oh and EXBEN, it couldnt have happened with out your skills with a CNC machine mate, owe a big thanks to you.

I think Lance nailed it with his radiator upgrade
