Has some engine damage, so in the immortal words of Fred Gassit, we're gonna hafta split the cases!

So I dragged the bike into the workshop, with a bit of help-

Need to make an upside down stand and split the cases. Also need to order a few covers/gaskets/stickers etc.

Will update as I go, but I really need to be going for rego by the first week of march

[Big Dan]

I did think of that, but then I need the powercommander and tuning

[RevHead]

how did the crank fair in the smash ,no damage,or is it purely case repair

[Large]

Crank's fine, just the cases and pickup etc so far. Parts list is about $600 or about $1000 with the fucking tank stickers.

[EXBEN]

sorry Rich, but you know your dog looks like you ,

Ain't that the truth 974

[RevHead]

bahahahahahahhahaha
off its head funny

[Tony Nitrous]

Interesting thread Mr Large.

I looked at a couple of bikes at the Auctions that had taken
a knock to the ends of the motor but I left them alone as I
wasnt confident in guessing how much damage it could do.

[Large]

It's not my dog.

[Large]

Cunts!

[Large]

One cunt in particular!

[mr.zxr]

haha. nice photochop ben.

[Weaselman]

Gee... I might go for a ride today... Must build another bike for it.

Back on topic- the cases were split-

http://img0.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/15648/1564825096f40be086a6dc6caa0cd0682c458491.jpg

So rocks could be cleared from the crank and sump while Ben did some really nice welding repairs to the lower case. I haven't got any pics of the work, but I'm hoping Ben might chime in with a couple.

As a bonus, I found I had a Superbike spec clutch with a Slipper Clutch/Back Torque Limiter!!!-

These modern motorbicycles are a miracle of engineering!

I've now got all the wiring hooked up- except for the headlights and instruments. Hopefully kicking it in the cunt tomorrow.

Everyone who helped was amply rewarded-

I think I get what you're saying Andrew, but atm I've only got one registered bike, and the last time I rode to Macksville it was a 1150k round trip over two days just to get there and back, and I'd like to do it in some comfort.

You actually had your bone removed to give to the dog? That's dedication mate.

[Tony Nitrous]

As a bonus, I found I had a Back Torque Limiter!!!-


Good time to get rid of it then !

Busa/B-Kings have kits to remove them but i've seen
posts on here saying you can weld them up.

Not a fan of them at all if your launching hard.
This is going into mine.

But that says "race track or serious use only" ?

[Large]

So I bought another 1400 today for the other bits I need like instruments and an unbent oil cooler.

http://img1.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/15721/157212711a3cb8b0113c50167fa925dbf92b9009.jpg

As a bonus it has a full Yoshi system (few scratches), PCIII and polished wheels.

I'm also thinking a 1400 moteur could be the go for my buggy project.

[RevHead]

my god you must be rich,Rich ,lol

just cut the muffler down scratches gone

[Large]

my god you must be rich,Rich ,lol

Nah.

I've just worked out that it's a lot cheaper to buy a whole bike for the parts you need and sell the rest, than it is to buy new parts or parts from wreckers

[Large]

So it's up and running. Even has the 15kg stock exhaust on it for rego.

As a bonus, Kev turned up with my new seat this arvo. As usual, he's done a really nice job, just as I asked, and a nice price too. Cheers Kev.

[Large]

There's no silly questions Albi.

I sold my other 1400 and the Spondon makes my piles play up.

AFR2012 will be a 1200+k ride, so I'm going for comfort all the way.
