Large's New ZX10 Project

[BANDITROD]

lol i wasnt around yesterday

[Yella]

7's are the same but if you run with a low battery and accidently spike the system the relay tips melt together and it just stays on :)

[Large]

Finally got it all together with big mirrors etc to pass rego. Took it out to Bringelly to the Engineer.

He liked it all and said it passed the brake test ok...but the fucking speedo stopped working. It was fucking working yesterday but not fucking today fucking cunting fuckitty fuck.

Nevernomind. I'd hooked it to the original ecu/sensor output. I plugged in the supplied magnet/sensor thingy and that works ok, so it should be good to go again tomorrow and back to the engineer Saturday.

[Aido]

Oh fuck.
I just Googled "Gaping Areshole" and I ended up back here looking at the above pic.

[Bob]

I like it. Bike looks great mate.

[MONO]

Anywho, I went back to the engineer and he's passed the mods. Should get my report by wednesday then it's off for a blueslip/greenslip and rego.

[Large]

Got regoed today.

Now to pull the meh bits off and finish it how I intended.

[rod185651]

Congratulations mate, awesome to see it on the road

[damo1]

congrates mate - looking forward to seeing the end result:cool:

With that rear end gaping open like that - i'm sure i've seena video laying around your place about fist fucking, and looking at the size of your hands i cant help think that gaping hole was on purpose.

[Large]

So I started stripping off the standard bits and going back to 2008.

Zaust still needs a bit of work to link it up.

Not sure whether to extend the zaust or shorten the tail...

shorten the tail.

[FIGHTERMC]

looks good large man but not too sure on the hockey mask.
the cans look the dogs balls.

[Redmohawk]

I like the mask, maybe some black Ali expanded mesh under the tail above the cans ?

[Gix11]

About bloody time!

Side view - stat!

[latheboy]

Extend the swinger and leave the tail :)

[Hillsy]

Extend the swinger and leave the tail :)

Yeah - just don't go to that guy in Sydney that can't build safe stuff.....

Just kidding Ben :rolleyes:

[Hillsy]

Large - take the Dremel to that front guard - it's huge in comparison to the mask.

[BANDITROD]

shorten the tail for sure mate

[LKC73]

Looking good mate, and congrats on the rego.

[NINJAINOZ]

Good stuff Large, This thread was started in 2007 & shows that stickatitness will get it done, I feel like my old ZXR is taking too long to put together but good things come to those who wait I spose
Im pretty set on the ZX10 for my next project later on, I heard that Stu fella can build them nice! LOL

Do you have any other plans for it? Apart from being able to legally ride it now
& are you sticking with the orange?

[Large]

About bloody time!

looking good big fella

[Large]

Tail's still a bit too long methinks.

What do you think Boxhead?

http://img4.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/17315/1731569291080cad589d1ab4399fe4c2bac91602.jpg

[BANDITROD]

thats a nice staffy we just bought a male for zeke for xmas he is a fucking little boofhead as well

[Gix11]

Good work on the photos. Ok, votes are in: I'd say the tail needs some reduction to do the trick.

[ozzy1100]

you know what I think leave the tail where it is but under mount the number plate etc on the exthust a bit like it was done on hysteria
imo it would all ballance out because of the slightly high angle the rear bodywork runs, it matchs the line of the tank and helps the stout stance

[ozzy1100]

[Jed]

Ozz, your photoshop skills are outstanding

[ozzy1100]

jed my skills be like a cow....outstanding in a field lol

[latheboy]

Seamless Ozzy haha ....

Like everyone else has said you should shorten the tail.

I'm not sold on the cans under the seat but hey it's your ride.
I'd cut the zoast so that the can ends where the pipes end now.....

Stumpy link pipe and CAN exiting just behind the rear set... You down with the gidy up???

[Large]

Thanks for the comments and advice guys.

Now that the bikes registered, I thought it would be a good time to strip it down again.

http://img4.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/17428/17428351b247900653a02be5e977d6755dffc8e2.jpg

I'm sticking with the undertail zaust for now...unless/until it really shits me, when I might go the stubby undercan. Anywho, I welded on a coupla supports for the cans.

http://img7.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/17428/17428338d59d3a2cab87335332f840b44f0880ca.jpg

The cans still look a bit squinty.

http://img9.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/17428/1742838407cfef5b4900be97aca73716c333d765.jpg

[Large]

Being a glutton for punishment I'm working on homemade tail MkIII so I can get a nice short rump on it.

Gone from this

http://img8.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/17428/1742839196d44fa5da514140ba371744a6cd5bc5.jpg

To this.

http://img8.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/17428/174283935aeec792d6eb4c0e88659527dadb23e5.jpg

Still got a lot of shaping to do, but it's heaps shorter and narrower than the CBRRRRRR tail in the earlier pics.

Got a few ideas about colours, but youse'll have to wait and see.

[ozzy1100]

im becoming a fan of the frame and stance of these water cooled new fangled kwaka's...

[oldskool]

I like it the way the tail was, I think the pipes need swapping so the small curves are out and big curves in.

[geesexar]

lookin good large

[kev@vcm]

Well this was a great thread to read from start to this post now , large you stick to ya guns on what ya want for your bike mate , well done good to see another bike with an SSSA

[Redmohawk]

A tig brush is a little box very similar to a tig , but with a brush (just like a paint brush on the end) dip it in a mild pickle paste (not the harsh shit u'd use normally) and brush away the black/colouration around your nice weld and hey presto clean sexy weld. Only prob is not much change outa $1000 for one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGmb43reZEI

[Large]

Sorry mate but it looks a bit ghey

Ben doesn't have a Tig Brush

And that's good enough for me.

[xa-mont]

i prefered it when there was no cans on it and it was just an exhaust exiting behind the rearset :P probably not the most practical exhaust though

[oldskool]

Try swapping the cans from left to right may make a smaller optical area.

[Large]

Fuck that, Im not redoing the exhaust. That's 3 weeks of procrastinating and 2 full days work right there.

Imma wait to see how it looks with the seat unit fitted

[Large]

Sounds choice brah


http://youtu.be/q74_BdVFthM

[ALBI]

Needs to be louder brah .

[Gitzy]

Sounds the Biz.

[Large]

Made a seat unit. Glassed it.

Sitting in the sun drying atm- hopefully I can melt the foam out and test fit it today.

[ALBI]

coolies brah

[fimpBIKES]

well?

[K6Thou]

well?It'll take twice as long to make the required amount of confetti.....

[Large]

well?



Well?



It turns out that fucking green foam doesn't just disappear when you apply a generous slurp of acetone.


Trimming it now- will report in sooon.

[Redmohawk]

You could try a little toluleen , its paint thinner. Go easy dip a rag and wipe , should sort the foam just dont drown the resin in it. A little off a rag shouldnt be an issue (it will evap before it does any damage to the resin)

[Large]

Nah it's all good. The acetone loosened up the masking tape and the glue holding the foam bits together and it all just slid out like a catholic woman's 8th baby..

Did a bit of trimming with the grinder. Didnt get all the nails out so lots of sparky glassfiber.

Omg fimp , I never knew!

[Gix11]

That looks like spanky HD video Brah. What's this shit? Are you from the future now?

[Large]

I bought a Canon 60D.

And a fucking tripod too.

Stupid cuntwipes at Canon decided that recording movies in Apple .mov format would be smart. So that 41 seconds of Oscar potential was 220+mb. Took about an hour to upload.

Lucky I've got mad fucking director/editor skillz to make the wait worthwhile eh brah?.

Looking good large I love the tail

[EXBEN]

Told you so...

Lookin good man! That headlight has contracted a fair amount of the gaids tho...

[Dynomutt]

I like that, it has a very nice aggressive stance to it. I reckon it's crying out for some nitrous though!!! The only thing I would do is maybe swap the front wheel out for an Oz wheel from the posh version of the Aprilia Mille, which would match the rear better. What paintwork are you going with? The exhaust system looks really sweet it sits in there really neatly

[wackyrider]

Awesome looking bike. Well, except for the headlight that is :D

[K6Thou]

Haters.....

I don't mind the head light mate, the whole bike needs kawasaki though........

[Large]

Thanks for the feedback guys. It means a lot to me to know that most of you are wrong and I'm right.
