Large's New ZX10 Project

[fimpBIKES]

haha, oops

just from my experience, make a note of the colour
but dont go out and buy 5L of it just yet, just in case you change your mind during the build
(or become a real man and go black [:P])

It's the colour of the old man's new 6L Calais so I can duck around anytime to check out the paint code[:p]

[cavey]

That looks awsome mate! Love the camo but would like to see the red in the flesh.

[speeddemon]

hey large - you know when we were talking about how to mount a headlight at Bens, well did you see how the new triumph 675 speed triple mounts the headlights at the motor show- straight out of the ram air hole! Now theres an option and it looked pretty tidy.

Found a colour for it too - Passion Red (or Red Passion) a Holden colour. Changes from dark burgundy in shadow to bright metallic dark red in the sun.

[speeddemon]

i agree with sharky you make it look like a 250 with no rear plastics on it:D Do you know if the wheelbase is actually shorter or a bit long with that arm on it?

[Large]

30mm shorter

:)

[BANDITROD]

I had a vision of massive beefy billet clamps with the boxy riser setup and lots and lots of bolts.

Ben turned my vision into sexy curvy art.

The plan was going to be the fools run as an unfinished runner, but it looks like it's going to be a "winter" project to finish it properly.

[FIGHTERMC]

ah winter thank fuck ours is over.

[ozzy1100]

Bring it up anyway, unfinished, unrunner, who cares it looks great.

[Large]

Only got room for one bike, so I'm thinking I should bring a runner to join in the funning

fuck my Nun Rich,bring it home Sister. And crank up that front pre-load 2 turns for more responsive cornering.
i think you have finally mastered the art of odourless shit's.
and for a minute there i thought Ben had finally got a CNC mill.Tidy.

[Iceman]

It's coming along nicely big fella. I've always wanted a set of chunky billet clamps for my bike they look great I reckon.

[BANDITROD]

i just had sex with your bike large thats fucking awsome top marks ben

[radiobloke]

only just seen this thread

I want your bike !!!

those yokes are fantastic!

keep the pics coming mate...

nice to see the modern bikes coming thru to fighters....we can't stay hooked on GSXR's and blades

biggest p[roblem is that the new stuff has ugly engines...but that ZX10 looks like its gonna be a brute!

well done mate

[hooligan]

They're fucking sexy. It blows me away that they're hand made, not a CNC hand programmed. Beautiful, Ben. It's gonna be one gorgeous bike when it's done, Large.

[zx12argh]

fuuwark - thats wicked. Is that CNC or hand milling? Either way - shit hot!

[HueyonaBlade]

Trophy coming me thinks Large[:p]

[rod185651]

Hey Large very nice mate, have to say, when I go to Extreme Creations it's like visiting Santa's Workshop only six more sleeps and will be out there getting a face lift for the Ninja. (Actually more like a facial reconstruction)
cheers Rod

[kelleyj3]

I am pretty new to this site or I would just email you(rules), but I don't suppose you could hook a guy up with a how too? OR point me in the write direction. I am looking for actual bolt up to the ten information. The guys on (http://www.customfighters.com) told me it was do-able with a VFR750. THey got pics of your stuff posted up there. Thats how I found this site. Good stuff.

[fimpBIKES]

oooh, i REALLY like the fact that the top nut is hidden!


great stuff ben!

how many munnys did they set u back largey?

I asked Ben about that and it wasn't too hard to do, but the VFR arm needs a little bit of trimming each side. Problem is he can't say "trim 5mm off this side" because it depends on what rear wheel you're running as to whether the arm needs to be offset to one side a bit. So you'll need your wheel and arm to find the centreline first.

Also if you search for the "Venom" build thread by Exben, there were more details there about fitting the arm (to a TL)

The problem with polishing is, once you start you can't stop.

There's heaps of bits here that need nuding up:)

Oh no , not the polish, you'll create a monster ;)

Lookin good mate, keep the pics comin

[dudad]

i hate you for being able to do this with a 10r, i hate you even more because you have the SEXIEST color ever used on a production bike!!

Cant wait to see it finished

[WATEVR]

[latheboy]

I love that frame .. its gotta be one of the best production frames out there ..

I reckon you're onto something. But I think that unlike the almost saintly "slingy" gsxr frame, it might need to be matched to the running gear a bit better.

[Iceman]

How much for the boy?

[}:)]lol:D

[Large]

Ask Ben.

Remind him he'll cost him another $250,000 over the next 15 years or so :D

[Gix11]

You buy a crash damaged ZX10 and visit the meastro mate: www.extremecreations.com.au

Why aren't you wearing your safety goggles Large?

You do realise Max is drilling a hole in your radiator while you're smiling away there don't you?

I'm working on the tail, but it's a very fine line between being inspired enough to carve gracefully through the foam...and so pissed I'm stabbing at it :D

Been working on the seat unit. It looks too bulky in the pics, but still needs a lot of shaping and sanding down.

The rear of the bike is up on a stand... Is there too much angle on it? and if so, which line on the tank am I supposed to follow?

[Jockney Rebel]

dunno......... the line under the name perhaps ?

Torsten, I didn't want to say before incase someone beat me to it, but I'm trying to copy this seat unit
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/48386504630168.jpg

Which should answer your exhaust question too

[WATEVR]

i reckon flow with the line of the sub frame.

[Jockney Rebel]

thats gonna look the dogs danglies mate

[Iceman]

Needs to come down a touch I reckon. Run on the angle of the sticker
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/48386569245609.jpg

[latheboy]

I think Ice is right although the line with the bottom of the subframe must be kept.. So it'll be alot of re-working ... Why dont you chock up the front wheel to get the bike level so you know where your at??? Another thing , are you going to lose the pillion peg mounts ? that would make it such a nicer line..

[fimpBIKES]

agree with lathey here, that subframe line is so dominant


she's a bit bulky large, i'd be skimming about 15-20mm off all-round
but the concept is solid!

ps- how high can you kick you leg twinkletoes, that rear is higher than mine [:O]

[Seifer]

Yeah that was my thoughts, would love to see anyone kick there leg over that to get on.

[EXBEN]

Im thinking something more like this, not only angled down but
lowered (thiner) as well.
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/692818837213013.jpg

[Large]

That looks better.

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/69281917712449.jpg

[EXBEN]

Or if you want it to look more Desmo like
you could leave it a bit fatter just behind the riders seat & cut it away a bit underneath.
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/692819267223348.jpg

[EXBEN]

Or possibly something like this leaving the backrest part of the seat & then angling it down from there.
