Whatever you think of it, the home brewed 'Cold air induction' works a treat.....[^]

Oh and ignore the seat...thats gonna be sorted along with a few other 'lil bits once we have moved.

[zx12argh]

That has to win this years "Most Unique tail construction method" award...

Glad to hear ou are back on the road again mate :D

[Jockney Rebel]

paint it silver then call it "metal skin".:D
bet ya gad to be back on the road.

[sharky]

There 6mm st/st button heads mate, cut down to 5mm long and screwed into the fibreglass.

The drinkin cups were perfect fit..you take out the plastic liner and there is a hole in the bottom.

Used 2 x 75mm st/st seives (from coles) for screens in them too.

There is a vent in the airbox so its not a 'ram air' system but certainly goes harder with a rush of cold air filling its lungs as opposed to the hot air coming through the engine.

And Yes, fookin glad to be back.

[papa smurf]

What the fuck kind of bike is that?

HAHA Someone had to say it. :D:D:D
Great to see ya back on the road Russ, i hear the twisties calling.;)

[Gix11]

Industrial mate! Just need to blend the front to the back or vice versa and that's one mad ass looking bike mate. Terminator springs to mind....

[BOHEMION]

ONYA Russ, that's exactly what it's all about.[8D]
Problem is you're giving me ideas now.;)

Oh & text me your new address so we can come & help edumacate your new neighbours at your 40th.:D:D

[sharky]

Great....I have now gone full circle and back to the original fairing I first had on...except I sold it over a year ago...(banging head against brick wall [B)])

Soooo, Where do I find another of these...ZRX or GPZ...either / or.

I know Brisbane Wreckers have one but after the way that wanker treated me when I was looking for frames I wouldn't want to give him a piece of used bog roll let alone my money.:(

Fuck, I hope you're talking about your bike [:I]
Have you considered a set of the old standard twin spots/Bates Russ? or are you keen on having a bit of wind deflection? I just reckon twins would look right on that bike - maybe photochop some in & see?

[zx12argh]

Hey check with Evad mate- i sold him a gpz 900 roller i think he wanted the tank and a few bits. He may have most of the bike left.

[sharky]

Just checked the old thread...the blue one wasn't it ? If so it had the full fairing on it.

Tk, I'm suprised mate....was expecting far more sarcasm from you ;)

Gonna stick the the Gpzee fairing idea, quick & easy to fit and works (need summat on this speed machine :D).

[ozzy1100]

fuck russ i would trust that sub frame at speed you dont know what sort of wanker welded that up lol
love the look russ fucking out the box

[sharky]

Yeah,but he was cheap....;)

Got to agree there, count me in too.
Michelle & i did the Mt Mee, Somerset, Mt Glorious loop last weekend.
First decent ride for a while & fuckin loved it, it's a MUST DO Russ.[:p]

My "Quick Fix" ride is....

The Gap.
Samford village/Valley.
Daybro.
Mt Mee.
Woodford.
Kilcoy.
West side of Lake Somerset.
Somerset Dam.
East side of Lake Wivenhoe.
Split-Yard ?
Straight past the T at the back of Mt G.
Fernvale.
On to the Warrego / Toowoomba Highway.
Back into Brissy.
....or from Splityard, back over Glorious.

Good fun but only about 270k's.
It easy to go from Woodford up to Malaney for breakfast/Lunch,
before heading back to Woodford. Nice road, good twistys and a
$2.50++ fast open section ;)

Did it recently running in the B-King and on the Naked Busa chasing Brians GSXR1000. :D[8D]

[ozzy1100]

tony you past my place on that run: ie blacksoil
i like that run but i do it in reverse

[scotty mac]

still kicking myself i never met you guys when i lived in brissy:((8 years).
still, my wife at the time wouldn't let me go riding wif the boys[}:)]. in the hole time i lived there i only got out about a dozen times for good rides.

sharky; did you have to rejet the carbies for that cold air induction?

[sharky]

Still working on it mate. The carbs were jetted for K&N's so they are a bit rich. Gonna play with the needles as the mains seem ok on full bore with the ram air effect.

[BOHEMION]

Let us know when ur set mate, we'll gather some of the troops

[mattypom]

sharky,top bike,like the gpz fairing.
does the air induction work and does it give you better top end

[mattypom]

sorry about size of picture

[Gix11]

Hey Matty, your bike made it into the Your Ride section before: http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8826

It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it that counts.

[sharky]

Finally...Big thanks to ZX12argh for the screen.
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/29869122371976.jpg


Matty, not sure about the top end yet, just setting up the jetting now...
Got a dyno run next week to make sure its ok for AFR.
As long as it shows a little rich at the top it should be ok with the air induction thingy. It's not Ram air as such, the airbox is vented.

[BANDITROD]

lookin good russ cant wait to see it in the flesh

[Bear]

I reckon it needs some whips and chains, Sharky.

[Jockney Rebel]

yeah definately a sub/dom bike...i really like what youve done with it mate considering it started off on a pallet..well done wee man

[zx12argh]

Looks great rus glad to help - I reckon it needs more studs tho [:p]

[oldskool]

Nice foam grips Sharky we can i get me a pair X

[sharky]

I'll sell you these ones mate $50 and they're yours [:p]

Got a few more ideas planned...not sure about the whips'n'chains...[}:)]
