Looks good mate when I made my under tail I made a cardboard one first and then fabled one up out of stainless sheet

[LKC73]

talk u thro the easy way to have it removal and glassed with shape with out moulding

I might get flamed but I think the tail is a too big as it makes the fat tyre look like it's a "normal" size, or does it look different in the flesh?

[chopiesel]

nah it looks fucking wide in the flesh

here is a comparo with a stock gixxer

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g50/chopiesel/Untitled-2copy-7.jpg

[xa-mont]

has that gixxer got a 100 on it?!? Holy crapola

[Elapid]

Looks good Chop. Goodluck with the rest of the build.

[VFighteR]

why is the tyre so shiny? Is it old? It almost looks brittle if ya know what I mean

[chopiesel]

tyre is brand spankers

He's been polishing it when he does the frame! ;)

[VFighteR]

haha

[crazymofo]

looking great chop, one thing.... paint or chrome the shock spring, green and red just clash to much

edit: your sig is mesmerizing to say the least, it detracts from your build thread

cheers.joe.

[chopiesel]

Joe that's just the stocker my bitubo should be here next week

[chopiesel]

stainless engine bolts all over

gixxer race tail has been moddified (cleaned up a bit ), i got a race tail as i wanted a one piece tail and they just look cleaner, downside is they are not the same quality as a stock one and no undertail fits realy so today i spent the morning modifying a gixxer undertail

basically all that remains of the undertail is the middle 3rd, i extended the back and re made the front section so that kicks up level with the ground so it follows the bottom line of the tail.

i decided to paint the stator cover today and will get some airbrushing done on it, it looked crap with clear over the polished magnesium.

tomorrow i will bust out the sander and body filler and finish off the undertail

then i can cut my led strips into the tail and primer them both

[LKC73]

Looking good mate cant wait to see it finished

[ALBI]

pm sent mate

[chopiesel]

albi, you would have to let me know all the bolt lengths you want,

i just pulled most of mine out and i was busy at work and another guy went around and picked them for me, spoke to him today and he cant remember what lengths they all where.

[Gitzy]

I know you work at a bolt place Chop, and I'm assuming Albi has asked about em... Buuuut this is exactly what probolt specialize in Albi, in kit form.. Not sure if there more or less expensive, but there ultra convenient, I've bolted the shit out of 3 bikes from here..

http://www.probolt-australia.com/Products/Suzuki_TL1000S_9703

[ALBI]

lmao mate not a prob ill let you know the sizes ,cheers mate

[LKC73]

Ive used Probolt on 2 of my bikes also. Ive found them very handy on lager size M8 - M10 bolts with finer thread pitch. Most bolt places Ive been to dont stock M10 with 1.25 pitch.
As always though chop, looking killer mate!

[chopiesel]

Just had a look at pro bolt site, they are expensive but they have nicer looking heads on them than the ones we have here at work as we sell them mainly for manufacturing purposes. id go with pro bolts if I didn't work here.

[kev@vcm]

a top looking bike chop really nicely done mate cant wait to see the end result

[ALBI]

thats why id like to get from you mate different look of bolt tired of looking at the same bolts

[Gitzy]

I'm confooosed Albi, what look are you after?? pro bolt have Allen, Tapered Allen, Flanged Hex, Drilled Flanged Hex, Dome Head Allen, and Spiked Hex, what other style is there??

INDUSTRIAL!



The bolts look top notch Chop they aren't noticeable until you actually look at them.

I have the same sort of bolts for my Z9 all with polished heads direct from the states with matching washers ect 219 pcs (whole bike) for $35 usd.


build is looking good.

[chopiesel]

few more pics only new thing in the pics is my switch from carlton to cat piss...i mean xxxx gold, but my productivity seams to be higher when on mid....go figure

prob should pull my finger out and finish the undertail but i really aint in the mood to deal with the dust involved.

[ALBI]

hey efe you have it in one mate !!
cant wait to see CHOPS bike finished !
looking pretty good mate!!

[chopiesel]

so my best mate postman pat came with some more stuff from the states today

150 link chain with chrome links and a billet 5/8 offset sprocket

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g50/chopiesel/bike/DSC03173.jpg

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g50/chopiesel/bike/DSC03175.jpg

next problem, slave cylinder hits sprocket

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g50/chopiesel/bike/DSC03178.jpg

solution, i tapped an m8 thread into this blank hole, i am going to drill out the corresponding blank hole in the slave and space the whole thing out then bolt it solid in 3 places, lucky for my we have 6mm stainless rod at work so i can make a longer push rod.

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g50/chopiesel/bike/DSC03180.jpg
