looking good mate, def some potential

[Yella]

I like the look of this, Nice

[Tony Nitrous]

I've never been a great fan of V-twins, but of the one's i've riden,
the "S" would be my choice If I was going to have one. There was
just something about them that rated high on the grin factor.

Nice project.

[Large]

Is Rod still not drinking? He doesn't look well.

[Yella]

It does strangely look like a beer in his hand in the first pic and at his feet in the 3rd maybe I am reading to much into it :confused:

[rod185651]

From what Steve has told me of his plans, this will be one awesome build.

[Chase]

Intakes from 2010 FZ6R they seem about the right kinda size with a bit of mods... and ummmm no buy your own Bitubo :p

[rod185651]

Is the gold anodised ring on the clutch cover a preview of the bike's colour scheme?

[Chase]

Thinking more of an accent than the main scheme.

[fimpBIKES]

[ALBI]

Funny was thinking the same when your thread started this year.. Great minds hey.

[CBRRRT]

The malevolent infection of the necro virus is spreading.

Good stuff mate, I'm subscribed.:D

[Chase]

Always keep an eye on your builds mate, the attention to detail that goes into em is awesome.

[CBRRRT]

Thanks matey, I'm constantly trying to up my game and if this shapes up to what I have in my head then I might keep it and move the blade on.

[Chase]

Got some time today to get started on the build and here's a sample mock up..

http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h382/Chasedec1973/IMG_0060.jpg

Engines all clean now

http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h382/Chasedec1973/IMG_0063.jpg

[rod185651]

You had a busy afternoon, any luck on that part you were chasing when I left?

[Chase]

Still trying to get in contact :mad:

[RevHead]

This is going to be another smick bike ,

[Chase]

http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h382/Chasedec1973/IMG_0072.jpg

[El_Hefty]

dog cock red beautiful...

[Chase]

dog cock red beautiful...

[RevHead]

steve what kind of paint are you using on the motor ,brand etc.

[Chase]

The tried and trusted VHT :cool:

[RevHead]

ok ,thank you

[kev@vcm]

The tried and trusted VHT :cool:

never painted a motor before can you pass on your ti[ps for what you did chase as im looking to paint the bandit motor soon as i get it out of the frame ,

thanks

[damo1]

What color you after Kev?? you up for a contro deal??

Seat for paint work??

Pm me if your interested.

[Chase]

Hey Kev, it's pretty simple - just gotta get the engine clean. All I did was;
- remove engine and leave whole plugging all inlets/outlets
- hit it with some degreaser (truck stuff) and let it sit for a bit then blasted it with the high pressure cleaner
- mixed up some more degreaser and grabbed a scotch brite scourer and went over the engine getting into all the small spots
- light sand over any parts that might be chipped or flaking
- remove/tape anything you're not painting
- let it dry off, then went over with some prepsol (wax and grease remover) and wipped dry with clean rags
- hit it with one coat of VHT primer to get a decent bite on the original paint
- 3 coats of paint with a 10-15minute flash time between coats
- chuck some heat lamps around it and you're done.

The heat lamps are important cause the VHT paint doesn't reach full hardness until it's been heated - easiest way is to have the engine run but not if it's not in the bike ;).

[kev@vcm]

ok sweet azz chase thanks for parting with that info will have a crack at paining the bandit motor

[Chase]

As always mate give us a yell if you need some assist ;)

[kev@vcm]

yeah im going to have a teardown part here at the workshop 1 weekend thow on a BBQ and some piss for the ASF guys

[Fight_fan]

^Sounds good Kev!
Cleanliness is the key with the engine mate. Take ur time n u cant go wrong!

[ALBI]

hmmm bright mate !!
im doing my donk in the same blue as the body work ,but doing it in 2k.
just made the engine stand so now the fun starts chase the race is on .

that should look great! .. dunno about the race though - I'm targetting NFR :p

[fimpBIKES]

I like the sound of a race :)

[wackyrider]

With VHT it may take a while to cure properly. I did about 200kms before I stopped smelling the paint every time I ran the bike. But it lasts good.

[Chase]

Slow progress, but at least it's progress :cool:

Wow rain man.. nice work. I just searched for that bike and the thread was started in 2007! I struggle to remember stuff from last week.

[Chase]

[fimpBIKES]

Fuck yeah!! off a monster?

[Chase]

Right you are Fimpy - S4R :cool:. Should fit with the tube frame a bit nicer.

[xa-mont]

i love those tube braced single siders. and right YOU are chase... it will suit the frame a shit tin better!

This is going to be such a cool bike!

[ALBI]

Ffff aaaa rrrr kkkkk yyyyyy ooooo uuuuuuui hates you man so uncool
lol nice score

[Chase]

Ffff aaaa rrrr kkkkk yyyyyy ooooo uuuuuuui hates you man so uncool
lol nice score

lol

[K6Thou]

Mate this will be better than great when its done. Please finish it get sick of it/ need the cash, sell it to another ASF member who needs to sell it later then I'll have another fuckin cool ride....:p

[Chase]

Finally got the S4R swinger on the weekend.. woohoo!!

The ducati swinger is about 25mm wider than the stock TLS, so I'm of two minds;
1. Use the donor TLS pivot tube and weld onto the duc swinger moving the right ducati swingarm mount 25mm to the left
2. Get a new pivot tube machined up 25mm longer than the stock TLS to match the width of the duc swinger and machine 25mm of the right frame boss to fit

Any thoughts / suggestions welcome..

[fimpBIKES]

so u cant machine down the ends of the swingarm pivot?

i would mod the swinger before frame, tls frame can use all the material it can get!

[Chase]

1296

The duc swinger pivots in the engine, so the right arm would have to be removed and a new support added to mount the pivot tube off the TL. Both options can be done, just which one is best? You're right on trying to not remove any of the boss if I can but wondering how the swinger mod will affect the look?

[ALBI]

if it were me id either make a new swingarm pivot and mount SSSA of new pivot or graft TLS piviot onto SSSA !!

[Chase]

if it were me id either make a new swingarm pivot and mount SSSA of new pivot or graft TLS piviot onto SSSA !!

That's pretty much my 2 options. :rolleyes: But trying to work out the pro's and cons of both

[ALBI]

welll if you use the original pivot there is no marking out or measuring just cut and tidy up.

[fimpBIKES]

the pic is small bit it looks like you could sacrifice 12.5mm a side there
if you were worried about strength get the gap between the two sides joined with a bit over oversized tube welded in (before machining). will keep it all sealed up for the bearings etc too

it'd be much easier to get a swinger machined than a frame, your going to need to get some welding done on it to get the shock mounts redone anyways yeah?


other thing with modding the swinger is if you ever need to put it back to stock (defect, selling etc) then you can pull the old setup out and bung it all back on

[Chase]

Your'e a man of wisdom Fimp, I think you're right with modifying the swinger and leaving the frame in tact. I will have to remove the existing mounts from the swinger, no big deal really, cause the total diameter of the mount is only 30mm and I want to use the original pivot bolt (25mm) so I don't have to muck around with collars or getting a custom bolt made up. I can make use of the original pivot tube from the TL swinger. Best get the grinder out :cool:

[BANDITROD]

good to see a challenging build mate cant wait to see it finished

[Chase]

Been a while but it's all lined up and ready for the final welds.

fuck yeah looking good chase

[RevHead]

this is looking cool good work Steve

[Bob]

Looking good mate

[Chase]

Cheers fellas, I'm pretty happy with hows it's gone in.

[xa-mont]

yeah that's a sick swinger.

[UK_Bitsa_Biker]

hey man sweet build you got goin!
what was the width at the swingarm pivot point as one of those arms would look sweet on my THING trike build!
does the vfr hub fit in the end do you know?

thanks!

[Chase]

Sorry mate, I'd measure it for you but it's already been replaced with the adapted pivot. As far as I know the VFR doesn't fit, the swinger can take Ducati or Triumph wheels.

[ALBI]

looks shite mate and it looks dangerous ,tell you wat mate im feeling generous ill give you my swinger as a swap so you wont be left with out one !!!!!and ill mount it in mine ,opps i meen shed !!

[hooligan]

does the vfr hub fit in the end do you know?

thanks!

probably not, to put the 1098s rear wheel/eccentric etc into my vfr800, it need a 1.5mm sleeve, i.e. the duke stuff is smaller than the vfr, so the larger VFR stuff won't fit into the duke arm.

[Chase]

looks shite mate and it looks dangerous ,tell you wat mate im feeling generous ill give you my swinger as a swap so you wont be left with out one !!!!!and ill mount it in mine ,opps i meen shed !!

I really appreciate the concern Albi, it warms the heart to know that there are still people of ur calibre around.. Now get back in ya shed! :P

[ALBI]

hopefully a 9mm to the head !!!!

[Chase]

[BANDITROD]

[Chase]

Is that a Dorsoduro headlight??

Certainly is, been looking for a while - but couldn't go past this one

[xa-mont]

FUCK YOU!!! i want that headlight!

[Chase]

FUCK YOU!!! i want that headlight!

Well you can't fkn have it! :p

[xa-mont]

if you don't mind the askings, where did you find it? and was it exxy?

[Chase]

Got it from Germany, its second hand but new cost 250 euro delivered. Brand new ones are about $700 which is insane.
