You might need sumpthn to fill up the big hole in the middle too Fucko... unless your mate's name is Fred Flintstone.
I should have the bits you need.

[pav69]

are you doing the 750 or the 900 in that rather empty looking void

[timbo]

I have a 750 sitting on the bench in the shed just looking for a new home
TK you and i will do words about some of the missing bits

[pav69]

do you have any decent carbs spare for the 750 tim incase i cant get mine sorted

[timbo]

Sorry Steve no spare carbs

[timbo]

Ok i got to spend some time in the shed today and got the bike striped and ready for powder coat

Now i just need to chat to a painter about what paint to use on the engine. All the covers will be in powder, and i want the paint to last for a while. So im no convinced that anything that comes out of a spray can will last

[latheboy]

Before you powder coat it put bolts in all the threads so they don't get coated on the inside of the threads.
Or you'll have to tap them all out.

Also tell the coater of any places you DON"T want coated, like bearing seats etc.

[Fight_fan]

I think u should do it pink Tim, would look most awesome nxt to the canary! ;)

Don't just tell 'em...write it down...hand it to them as part of a contract...and tape a copy to the frame...
I dealt with the main man for mine but the fuckwits in the workshop still coated inside of the yokes, bearing areas etc...
So we 'negotiated' on the price...:(

[timbo]

OK just a small update i got all my bits back from the bead blaster yesterday so now i need to find a painter http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp116/zxr79/zxr%20take%202/IMG_0094.jpg

[timbo]

Ok so things in the shed have been a bit slow of late with work and being a bit crook and the genrel day to day stuff but i got to spend some time out there today and got a coat of paint on the donk
http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp116/zxr79/zxr%20take%202/IMG_0116.jpg

http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp116/zxr79/zxr%20take%202/IMG_0120.jpg
Now its time to sit back and wait for for the wrinkes to appear

[Gitzy]

I love the look of fresh painted engines, they look so good.. Nice work Mate.

[pav69]

[BANDITROD]

Got any blacker.... Nah looks good mate

[xa-mont]

[timbo]

Thanks for the comments boys. I just went back out to the shed to have a look at the progress and it's turned its self into a wrinkly frenzy very happy with the result

[rod185651]

Nice work, is the wrinkle paint rattlecan or sprayed with a gun mate?

[timbo]

Strait out of a can Rod

[timbo]

[BANDITROD]

Mmmm looking good timbo that's a pretty purple for a pretty boy lol

[timbo]

Thanks princess

[ozzy1100]

fuck timbo you wont miss the purple mate lol
looking good

[pav69]

its red pearl but it does look purple in the photo looks good together mate.

[xa-mont]

jeez thats gonna shine in the sun... looks black in the other photo's.

[timbo]

I got to spend a bit of time backin the shed this arvo. I put most of the bits back together for a mock up and to make is easyer to transport it my new digs in a few weeks i must say im likeing the black but not i think i want to do the dogbones balck aswell to get that real black on black look
http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp116/zxr79/zxr%20take%202/IMG_0195.jpg
and some black rubber things aswell to keep me from scracthing the wheels now that they have a nice coat of paint on them

[BANDITROD]

Yep the shock linkage def looks out of place mate but the rest is taking shape well

[timbo]

I need to black out the triples and forks to i think

[BANDITROD]

Now that you have said that I reckon you should leave the forks, triples and linkage the way they are it breaks up the black a bit if that makes sense ....what colour are your disc centers and headers

[timbo]

I have not got discs yet but most likey black. All the engine covers will be done the same as the wheels,im also looking at doing something a bit funky with the same paint in a trible type stripe down the center of the body work if i can find something i like without looking to tacky

[BANDITROD]

Well let's see if some of the photoshop gurus here can work some of there magic so you can decide ...gitzy,large, cruisecontrol

[timbo]

Sounds good but i was thinking of the stripe going alone the top of the tank, so now you going to make me go and take another pic arnt you?

[BANDITROD]

Yep

[timbo]

I was thinking of something about the width of the black part of the fuel cap down the center http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp116/zxr79/zxr%20take%202/IMG_0196.jpg
OK boys go nuts and show me what you got

[LKC73]

Looking good mate!

[NINJAINOZ]

Whatever happened to this bike? Anymore pics?
Also was the frame painted or powder coated & roughly how much would it cost to get my frame, Swingarm & subframe painted?

[timbo]

Still got it but its still down in Vic. The frame and swingarm are painted by Pav69 off here as for a price i cant trmember what i payed but it was very fair 242824292430this is how it sit now still got a fair bit to do but its on the back burner for a little while longer

[RevHead]

[NINJAINOZ]

Starting to look nice, Any progress Timbo?
Are you interested in a set of stock disc rotors or are you going to be using new ones?

[timbo]

Yep as far as i know he still wants it but he's just going to have to wait untill its finished, and that wont be for some time yet i need a lot of things to happen befor i can even look at this project again bu t i t will happen just not overnight. Allthough seeing the pics again dose make me wish it was here so i can get stuck into it again.
