The worlds slowest build.

[K6Thou]

Righto lads this is my thou.


I have already fitted ABM clamps, risers and fat bars courtesy of crazymofo. HEL braided lines etc. http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/024.jpg


A bad pic of it mostly together.
http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/072.jpg

I recently replaced the front discs with a set of aftermarket rotors but can't find the pic....:confused:

As some of you know I bought Sens gixer and he was nice enough to throw in the lights he bought the bike with so I have been playing around with them....

http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/014-1.jpg

http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/015-1.jpg

Also have a power commander that I'm yet to fit, I'm struggling with time, money and my inability to decide on paint etc at the moment hence the title....;)

The list as it stands: Shorten any excess wiring,
Maybe steal the showy mask from the other gixer,
Overflow bottle,
Mount stock dash,
Modify stock rear body work,
Actually find time to work on it lol.
Mount either the mask or these ^^^
Relocate ignition barrel (sorted the location just have to make the bracket)
And a whole heap more......


Constructive critisism welcome, any and all advice appreciated.

Cheers,

Dan.

Dan ur to hasty for the worlds slowest build other than that looks cool mate good luck with the ride!

[Yella]

World slowest build title is mine but other than that nice work

[BANDITROD]

That's the spirit Dan rip into it mate

[DCRacing]

Don't worry on the speed of the build, its the thought that counts....... or something like that

my theory on building bikes is to buy them, put them in the shed and hope one day i will do what i had planned for them.

[K6Thou]

World slowest build title is mine but other than that nice work

I'll challenge ya on that one Yella so far I've owned this about two years and this is as far as I've gotten.....:eek:

[K6Thou]

Found the pic of the rotors.

434

The rear will be machined to suit.

[oldskool]

Good work Brother now hurry the fuck up.

[K6Thou]

Lol fuck Dylan I haven't even got the 1100 rego'ed yet, but depending on wether I sell a few things it might get a radial front end yet.....

Also have to replace the shift forks and clutch in a gixer 250 yet..... between working, kids and doing stuff around the house I get fuck all time to work on my own stuff, hell the box trailer in the back ground of a few pics ^^^^ isn't even finished yet ;)

[LKC73]

Nice one mate!

Sounds like our lives are much the same mate, I wait till my girls are in bed then off to the shed for beer and bikes, some times just beer and a sit and think.

[K6Thou]

Small amount of progress to report, I had access to a sheet metal folder last week so I managed to sneak a few bits through for myself.

Light brackets.

Dash mount. Still needs final finishing but you get the idea.http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/001-1.jpg
Bad pic of it roughly in place.http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/003-1.jpg

The ignition barrel mount will be going from the top clamp so the gauges will sit closer than this, the barrel will be getting relocated.

[BANDITROD]

looking good Dan

[K6Thou]

Thanks Rod, its slow going but I have told myself and the minister for war and finance it will be done by the end of the year.

[BANDITROD]

good to hear mate

Got on '04 R6 tail section that I think will work, I'm trying to follow the line of the front of the tank...... Shouldn't be too hard to fit either by the looks of it.

[BANDITROD]

im loving the slicks mate

[K6Thou]

They were there when I bought it Rod, kinda figured that they can stay until RWC....;)

[BANDITROD]

leave em there mate it adds to the wank factor

[K6Thou]

[ozzy1100]

lol no wonder yr wife is up u like a rat up a drain pipe about parts mate lol

[K6Thou]

Yeah mate she just fails to see the big picture lol

[RevHead]

i dont even bother to ask,tell ,my wife about anything i buy bc its a fucking shit fight, so i get the new parts sent to my workshop

[K6Thou]

These arrived this morning.......
http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/023_zpsf587c753.jpg

[K6Thou]

The R6 subframe is with a mate who is a guru as far as tig and aluminium is concerned. If it can't be cut and shut to fit he's told me he could build a custom job to take the R6 plastics etc so now I wait for the phone.....

The dash won't be mounted where it currently is, it looks to bulky, sticks out too far for my liking so I'll have to see if I can make it fit behind the top triple.

The lights shown won't be fitted either, unless I fuck off the gay dirt bike shit that I have them currently mounted in....

[stiffsimon]

Finally got them then. They look spanky danky sexy but not as nice as Kiwi KDX's spoked wheels ;)

[K6Thou]

Finally got them then. They look spanky danky sexy but not as nice as Kiwi KDX's spoked wheels ;)Oi that's enough outta you lol

[pav69]

[wackyrider]

If you don't want them anymore, I'll gladly take them off your hands

[K6Thou]

If you don't want them anymore, I'll gladly take them off your hands Nah I think I'll keep 'em mate I kinda like them.;)

[Bob]

Double post.....

[K6Thou]

http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/097.jpg

[K6Thou]

Front wheel fitted, guard removed for some slight cutting, the sub frame and the headlight brackets that are yet to arrive will be getting some powder coat soon. I am planning on moving the dash but am not 100% on where to, suggestions ?

[Surt]

sure ur gunna replace the overflow bottle for smth more good looking Dan? the wheels r bloody awesome!

[K6Thou]

sure ur gunna replace the overflow bottle for smth more good looking Dan? the wheels r bloody awesome!

Certainly am Surt, I have 6 empty aluminium crown lager stubbie bottles here and I'm planning on using one for the over flow. It was shit beer but it was the drink I had with my father before he died......

[K6Thou]

http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/080.jpg

Finally decided on a light.....


http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/078.jpg


Thinking about putting the dash here, any thoughts ?http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/081.jpg

[BANDITROD]

looks good just make sure you can still turn your bars without hitting your tank the wheels and light look porn

[K6Thou]

I'd only have to lift the dash about 10 mm from where it is to clear the tank as it's just sitting there for the pic Rod.

[Bob]

Coming along nice mate. Looks great

[K6Thou]

Thanks mate, it's hard finding the time to do it with my young fellas following me around constantly but I'm trying...

[NINJAINOZ]

Finally decided on a light.....


http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/078.jpg


Thinking about putting the dash here, any thoughts ?

Probably not many other options for your dash & it looks good there
The headlight looks much tidier, Them bars seem to be angled up quite a bit? Most bars should end up almost flat if you line up the forks with the bars from the side of the bike

A lot of the freestyle motocross riders like to roll the bars forward I think mostly for fashion cause someone else did it & the sheep follow, Lucky most of them only ride over jumps & they are not doing enduro's cause it is a terrible feeling with the bars angled up to me, Some of the TAG dirt bike bars seem to angle up at the ends for some reason?

Do them bars feel comfortable? Have they just not been adjusted to the correct position yet?

[K6Thou]

The bars actually moved when I took the bike out of my van the other day when I bought it home..... I'm thinking the bars will be replaced with a flat fat bar.

[NINJAINOZ]

Im going to get these soon>

[K6Thou]

Well I missed my dead line for finishing this, but fuck there's always next year........

[RevHead]

itl happen ,building a bike is about time and money ,time i have ,but no money ,still its coming along fine Dan.

[wackyrider]

http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae97/gqmad/bike stuff/080.jpg

Finally decided on a light.....




I like the headlight, but why don't you PM me the measurements of the 4 mounting holes and we make up a nicer bracket :D

[hutch]

looking good mate

[kartras]

I like the headlight, but why don't you PM me the measurements of the 4 mounting holes and we make up a nicer bracket :D

I got myself a similar setup on the light brackets. (vmaxbits) not sure if i am too keen on them. think i may have to rethink. The clamps are fine so wacky if you come up with a better bracket let us know.

Otherwise the bike is coming along nicely although You may have some competition from me regarding which is the slowest build.

[cadman342001]

Coming along nicely mate. Lookin good.

[oldskool]

Looking good brother.

[NINJAINOZ]

Maybe some black paint on the headlight brackets might be enough to blend them in, The fork headlight mount clamps might look better in black too?

[Jockney Rebel]

bikes comin along dan ..mate btw i may have found an old X7 lol

[K6Thou]

Thanks guys. I'm a little undecided on the headlight brackets, clamps and triple clamp colour at the moment, the colour for the rest of the bike will be very dark so I don't want to make it look too much.

Jimmy what is it with you and bloody old suzuki two strokes ? lol

[Jockney Rebel]

...cos their thinly disguised old MZ 2 stroke racing engines
lol

[wackyrider]

bikes comin along dan ..mate btw i may have found an old X7 lol

i had an old '81 X7 about 10 or so years ago. Fun little bike to ride, but it was alergic to water. lol

[K6Thou]

4406

Righto this where I'm up to with my bike, seat needs sorting, need to mount some wiring, reg/rec etc, subframe is mounted and plastics are screwed to the bike......

4407

Then I went and bought this, not real sure if it'll make it onto this bike mainly because I want to ride the fucking thing sooner rather than later, but in the mean time it's a nice bit of kit to have gathering dust...;)

[ozzy1100]

Nooooooo kill it Dan kill it with fire lol

[BANDITROD]

looking good mate

[Large]

I reckon this thread title belongs to me

[K6Thou]

This build is getting close to four years Large, 'cos I'm fuckin' slow....

[davo]

Nice work cum breath,is a reg/rec similar to an advanced/retard unit? I was gunna buy 1 of them but decided to save up for powerbands instead.i can get 3 powerbands for the price of 1 advanced/retard unit.It pays to be in "the industry" and know cunts that know shit.

[K6Thou]

This bike has an adjustable power band cunty, I can set it up for max power early if I'm going for a ride in the morning or it can be set for longer trips where the power will take longer to arrive.

Reg/rec are the names ya mum goes by when she dresses as a man and does the cock for cash thing....

[oldskool]

Hurry up!

[Surt]

that ssa looks awesome and sure is lighter than veefer's one er?

[K6Thou]

It's an MV unit Surt fucked if I know how much it weighs, like I said not sure I'll use it on this bike, it will the same amount of work to fit it to my 1100.... Who knows it may just live in the cupboard until I find something else to play with....

[Surt]

so i thought Dan, duck or o'gusta... it must be magnesium then
like ur style mate no haste no fuss, looks like u really pick up parts and bolt em on the bike with no pain in arse but we know its not a bolt on stuff

[K6Thou]

A smart man will purchase parts once and make them fit mate, aim is to build a bike that will use factory parts, but wouldn't look out of place on a bike dealers floor. Kinda a factory custom type of thing....

[stiffsimon]

Sorry but you're just a lazy fucker. My build has taken two years and one week as of last week and is sort of half done. If you need any advice on how to build a fighter in good time just call Lynton ������. ������������������ ahem

[BANDITROD]

i reckon large would be close with his zx10 thread

[K6Thou]

i reckon large would be close with his zx10 thread
Probably would be, if he wants the title he is more than welcome to it. It's not something I'm too proud of lol.
It would seem that my laziness is the main reason for this build taking so long but anyone with kids and other hobbies that they share with their kids like fishing or just taking the little'uns to car/bike shows etc etc will understand that getting time to do what you need to do to the bike without being interupted is pretty fucking scarce.....

[Azrael]

that ssa looks awesome and sure is lighter than veefer's one er? It seems to be a general rule that sssa's weigh a fuckload more than stock swingers. Id love to know what it weighs when u receive it to compare it to others. I have an sssa off a trumpy I can weigh for comparison. I believe Damo weighed the wheel in a t 2kg. Ill weigh my shit for for comparison too.

[Large]

I weighed my shit once.

The fucking scales smelled for ages.

[K6Thou]

Must have been all the pies.
