+1 :D

[Gitzy]

:( I did, I did.. its just taking its sweet ass time to kick in..

[ALBI]

how are the yoshi's compaired to my giannelli's?

[Gitzy]

Bloody loud mate :D

[Gitzy]

Ok, so BGW had 50% of Yoshi Stuff so I snapped up some Stand Bobbins and 2 pairs of bar ends cos I couldn't make up my mind..

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20TL1000S/DSC00767.jpg

The quality of the Bobbins was great, I loved em..

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20TL1000S/DSC00768.jpg

Excuse My dirty bike, stoopid rain..

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20TL1000S/DSC00770.jpg

The Bar end weights were almost identical in shape and weight to the OEM ones, which I liked, the annodizing on the red ones could have been better and the black ones had no logos which was disappointing, the black ones came with bolts and the red ones didn't so that was weird also.

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20TL1000S/DSC00772.jpg

I didn't really like the red ones..

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20TL1000S/DSC00773.jpg

So I went for the black ones and the Driven D3 Grips, I think they look good, what do you reckon??

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20TL1000S/DSC00780.jpg

[Fight_fan]

Those bobbins are shit hot! Shame the black bar ends dnt have the yoshi sign tho...

[ALBI]

looking good so far !!
pimp that bitch!

[fimpBIKES]

Come get em then Boofhead, you can shout me an OJ at NFR..

[LKC73]

Look good Gitzy, hows the heat coat on the headers, still hangin in there?

[Gitzy]

Yeah good so far Luke, I've done the curing process on the bike as per VHT instructions, and looks like she should hold up for a while, only been for 1 ride and still looks good.

[ALBI]

hey todd how did you go with the rear pipe conector ?? no leaks ?

[Gitzy]

Got a slight leak cos I'm a retard and pinched the gasket... I'll get a new one soon.

[El_Hefty]

it just needs a bonnet so you can put a protector on it.





Fuck i want a tl

[Harry]

should ditch those sticker's on the tank gitz..they hurt my eye's !

[Gitzy]

I'm considering removing all the stickers, but they really don't bother me hmmmm...

Anyhoo Just a little picture whoring here, it was a little overcast the other day so I thought it may make for some good pics.

[hyofighter]

looks nice gitzy not sure about de-stickering it i like it i think it will still need to break up the black , liked those red bar ends too but thats only my opinion , TL's are a wicked fun bike my mate rides his to the limit the only way i can tell his still on the road is the black painted lines it leaves

[Gitzy]

Lol, yeah I'm up in arms about destickering her Scotty, and fun they are :D

[Gitzy]

Ok so seen as though I can't leave anything alone.. I've decided its time to convert a perfectly good front end with an updated one to suit my awesomely mad grandma riding skillz [:p][:o)]

Whats in the Box Dad??

http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1750/20110705133404.jpg

Some serious packing involved kudos to the shop..

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7334/20110705133447.jpg

so we have a brand new unfitted set of 09 Hayabusa Forks, 09 Hayabusa Radial Calipers (off new bike), new 09 Hayabusa Axle & a 07 GSXR 1000 front fender..

Let the fun begin :D

Good stuff Todd.. its about to turn into a fighter isn't it ....why cover up such a beautiful bike

[Fight_fan]

HAHA! It has begun! Good shit mate. Im with rod, shame to cover it up!

[xa-mont]

especially a shame to cover such mint gear!

[ALBI]

arrrgh fuck you todd ,i love them gold ones .

[LKC73]

Awesome Gitzy! Thats a nice pair of forks. Will be watching this thread with keen interest.

[Tony Nitrous]

Very nice !
I like the Mk2 Busa/King brakes.
What are you using for a master cylinder ?
Mk2 Busa doesnt have a radial master cylinder,
B-King does but its ugly/funny shape.
I'd imaging a late model GSXR one would be ideal ?

[crazymofo]

dont fighter it!!

grab a 1098 brembo master (i got mine from ebay for $85), i use one with the stock 08 gsxr 1000 calipers on my racebike.. phenominal stopping ability

cheers.joe.

[pt]

Did you get them from sportsbikeparts2u on EBay? Thats where i got mine. Cheap as chips and packed heaps well just like that.

Definitely get a radial M/C from somewhere.

When are you putting in a new shock....or is it already aftermarket?

Oh and looking good too. Keep the stickers if you keep the front fairing. I also prefer the red bar ends.

[fimpBIKES]

good stuffs gitz, happy to drop over and help you pull her apart

[sen]

6 pages in... and this bike STILL has fairings?

Did I accidentally visit Netrider instead of ASF? ;)

[hooligan]

How much was postage for the forks?

[DAYS]

mate looking good dint take long for the moding to start

Thats them Pete, although I went through http://motorcycleparts2u.com/ instead of there Ebay store..

Yup radial for sure..

Nope still running the Rear Rotary Dampner, looking at other options but I honestly have zero issues with the stock one, I seriously do not ride hard enough to even notice an issue with the stock item..

Also turns out the Yoshi bar ends didn't have a logo engraved on them like the red ones (cough cough come retrieve Fimp) as they were suppose to have these decals in the little box, so I sent an email to BGW and was quickly sent these in return, great customer service I might add..

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20TL1000S/2011-07-21140443.jpg

and I thought I'd add some more Glitz Rodney [:p], with a Yoshi Resi Sock..

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20TL1000S/2011-07-21140509.jpg

Apologies for poo phone pics..

[Fight_fan]

Cant wait till u pull ur finger out n fighter this thing Gitz! ;)

[BANDITROD]

Nice ...glitzy ...lol

[Lewis Moto]

Crash knobs need some new thinking.
It would be good if they were unobtrusive.
What if they were on some sort of quick action hydraulic ram with a non return valve wired to a inclinometer? Bike leans over 45deg+ and they shoot out ready for action but below that they are retracted and unobtrusive.
Expense and complexity?
What about a fast acting spring system with a ratchet system like a cam chain adjuster and an electronic solenoid to release them to an active position and a servo motor to retract?
Just thinking outside the box.
I'll put in a call to Japan tonight and see what they can come up with. LOL

[BANDITROD]

I have often thought about such things myself aido but the price of such a set up would put most off I reckon

[Lewis Moto]

BMW are a bunch of smarty pants. I reckon they will be the first to do something like this.
Surely in years to come manufacturers will see the need to build in some sort of protection off the production line even if it is just solid mounts behind the fairings to protect from sidestand spills or low speed drops. Paint and stickers are cheaper than whole plastics or engine covers.

First thing she said when she saw it

"I'd prob notice/care more if you had no fairy fairing"

bout sums it up huh, lol.

[BANDITROD]

Mmmm that's nice now you have a good front end in it you should get yourself a bitubo rear shock it's all the rage apparently ......oh and hurry up and fighter

[Gitzy]

Bitubo on the shopping list Mate, as is a better steering damper, prob Hyperpro or Trible Performance.

[BANDITROD]

Hyperpro is the go mate I have a brand new one sitting here it is a side mount one but I don't have the mount kit for it I have tried to get one locally but without much luck.... they are well made aswell

[Big Dan]

Looks good Gitz so how much to hire those stands of yours mate? We are going too pull the front end off Matts yellow beast.

[Gitzy]

All yours Mate, I just used some scrap at work to knock em up, they're a little weighty but they worked a treat.

[robmac]

Looks great Gitzy. Been for a decent ride yet? Keen to know how the forks feel as I'm about to use a pair on my 14.

What about some braided brake lines?

[LKC73]

Hey Gitzy, how about getting rid of them reflector bolts on the back side of them forks to? also you missed a bolt at the back fender ;)

Other then that the front end looks awesome mate. My bro wants a TL1000s to go with he's TL1000R.

[Gitzy]

Nup not yet Rob, gotta bleed the brakes today and I'll go for a spin, I'll def get some braided lines, Just figured I'd put the Busa lines on for now as they were brand spankers.

Luke, yeah I missed the reflector bolts I was a tad lazy there lol, and chasing up some more fender bolts now, the four i used on the front were the stock 4 off the TL how convenient huh, gotta love Suzuki interchangeability.

[Fight_fan]

Lookin good Todski!

Just picked up a Scotts damper for mine.. Brilliant bit of kit. Let me know if you're going to get your Bitubo O/S and I'll order with you and split the postage ;)

[fimpBIKES]

shit yeah!

nicely done
so the lower fork clamping area is the same on the TLS? the tlr forks were a bit bigger than the gixxer ones i put on
would have thought you would need to shim the lowers

how is the static sag? i had to wind in preload on the gixxer forks on mine (cos i was too cheap to get new springs...)
is the fork length similar? i know under heavy braking i would rub things on the TLR
scared the crap out of me at oran park, just want to save you having to buy new undies

would definitely be an idea to get some verniers and make sure your lower clamps are clamping something
not that i wouldnt mind buying a cheap tls wreck LOL

[Gitzy]

how is the static sag? not sure haven't set it yet, i'm just going with stock Busa settings for now till I fiddle more i had to wind in preload on the gixxer forks on mine (cos i was too cheap to get new springs...) is the fork length similar? within 10mm, alot of TLS owners drop there forks through the triples by 10-15mm so pretty much same in the end, maybe a little quicker in the steering i know under heavy braking i would rub things on the TLR
scared the crap out of me at oran park, just want to save you having to buy new undies

would definitely be an idea to get some verniers and make sure your lower clamps are clamping something
not that i wouldnt mind buying a cheap tls wreck LOL LOL Don't jinx me

Come round and check em out and pick up these red yoshi bar ends for the Katanarama

[fimpBIKES]

just test run kat around the back streets
petrol leak freeeee, i'll be around on sat :)

[pt]

looking good man, wind the preload in as soon as, you'll need it. They probably feel OK now but after 500km theyll be pogos.

me three, for a different model of course, but been trying to find a reasonably priced bitubo retailer myself with not much luck!

[El_Hefty]

count me as four at least 3 for tls i need to sort out the handling

[Gitzy]

When Mrs Gitzy is finally pregnant, I will be blaming JACKTAR [:o)]

Anyhoo now I got your attention, for those who asked or were wondering or weren't wondering but have commenced reading, I just took the TL for a ride with new front end..

First impressions after having done 700clicks last weekend so it was an easy comparo over stock.

*She steers slightly quicker, prob due to fork length reduction over stock. Yes??

*PT & Fimp are on it, there is muchos settings to be played with to correct it all, I have it set to stock Hayabusa, although it felt smooth as apposed to harsh I didn't feel confident on my usual back roads..

*The brakes are ABYSMAL, the stock TLS master is no good for the Tick Tack Tokico Radials, so that needs to be sorted.. the pads are brand new and I wanted to bed them in so I wasn't to hard on them, but in comparo the stock items felt razor sharp..

Otherwise I am over all impressed, bearing in mind I'm neither Alan Cathcart or Casey Moaner, these are just the opinions of a late 20's grandma motorbicycle operator..

This wraps up yet another Glitz & Glamour update for that damn thread with no Streetfighter in it.. ;)

[LKC73]

So what your saying Tod is Mrs Gitzy is up the duff.
Your breaks are shit, but the bike rides much better.

Your not going to fighter this thing coz your missus is up te duff?

Am I close lol.....

[Gitzy]

Lol, nup not yet Luke, She read it and said "You realize your saying JackTar fcked me" I said why not? the dude fucks everything else it's always his fault lol ;) ..

I'm not fightering it as yet cos I'm a sook and I like my bulbous googly eyed hunk of plastic on the front, but she's wearing me down Mate.

[crazymofo]

dont fighter it.

the stock tls brakes are actually great things with decent pads and lines.

get an 08 or newer cbr 600/1000 master cylinder

cheers.joe.

[rod185651]

OK OK! I agree don't fighter it.

So what's next for the R1? This is a fighter forum after all. :D

[Gitzy]

Def Joe, I'll be onto the that fairly soon..

Funny you ask Rod, I've been thinking heaps about R1 lately, I've always loved the stance of The Wretched with the clip ons, so maybe that route with a big round cafe style headlight.. Decisions decisions..:)

Is that picture missing something?









Your Wife

[Gitzy]

Lol, I know that helmet shits me in that pic Rod. :p

Rodnumbers, you can quite clearly see its missing a fourth bike can you see the void?? Wife was inside cooking :eek: lol.

[rod185651]

Yes I can see the void. You've got a Honda, you got a Yamaha, you got a Suzuki all you need now is a Kawasaki. :cool:

[Gitzy]

So I got an email just before Xmas from Vandriver that my parts were ready... Bugger talk about bad timing but not to worry Mrs Gitzy ahem Ex Mrs Gitzy to the rescue.. egggselent ..

anyhoo ..

Red 5 Bolt pressure Plate. I have no intention of fitting this I even forgot I was on the list but I'd say it will be one hell of a rare part in the future so I think I'll keep it. Also a black and a red Starter end plate as I couldn't figure out what I wanted and a rear brake fluid resi which I also forgot I was on and could/should have got one of Ben but hey parts are parts.

[QUOTE=Yella;380290]Probably wouldn't fit the bus Pete.

[El_Hefty]

Sorry to hear gitzy. Get your arse to AFR for a drowning of the sorrows, well look after you.

And thanks for the notice just jumped on TLP and been contacted by van a while ago it appears but he's got more bits for me, more bits for the fighter

[la fouine]

nice parts!!!!

[Gitzy]

So I went to fit a new billet dust seal today but couldn't get the top clamp off, I remember it was uber tight to get on, but after rubber mallet and belting it, it went on. Well wasn't it effin difficult to get off turns out i had to remove the whole front end, i dropped the forks and it literally hung onto the steering stem threads, turns out the hole was a poofteenth two small for the stem thus i ruined the bottom of the clamp smashing it with a drift to get it off, bugger still usable with other TL front end maybe on a cafe racer project or something.

So I had a spare raw one just laying about, as you do.

Looks pretty blingwa.

Also just clicked that the Bandit had a carbon fibre front fender fitted in its hiatus from my shed. Well what do you know it fit the busa forks.. sweeeet

[Gitzy]

While I had the wheel out to steal the new Angel ST off the back of the Bandit for nfr, how convenient lol.

I figured I'd freshen up what has been bugging me for a while, I think during its life some brake fluid has been dripped over it I'm not sure happened before moi. So I cleaned it up freshened it with some VHT caliper paint and new bolts and VOILA looks a treat.
