Project K4 Gixxer

[wackyrider]

Cheers bud. Finally starting to get a move on it, however I'm gonna be away for work for a couple of weeks as off tomorrow, so I'll get back into it when I get back

[kiwi kdx]

lookin good mate!

[wackyrider]

Finished off the paint today, decided to give the rocker cover a bit of red to make it stand out

[BANDITROD]

i prob would have left it unwrapped to let the paint cure well and truly jules

[wackyrider]

I did Rod, for a full day. Would have left it there for the weekend, but I'm flying out tonight for 2 weeks and couldn't risk leaving it at work.

[BANDITROD]

ahh fair enough a day prob isnt enough really but if you dont have a choice it will have to do mate looks good to mate

[Mishdog20]

A bloke at work got his ute painted a few weeks ago, and the spray painter told him to leave it in his shed, and to not touch it for a fortnight to give the paint the a real decent amount of time to harden. Apparently it takes at least a week for all the thinners to come out of the paint. But no one is that patient to wait a fortnight, before re-assembly, haha.

[wackyrider]

Well, I would have loved to have left it, but I'm in Italy right now for work. I'll put the engine in the frame as soon as I get back to Melbourne :)

[hyofighter]

looks good wacky i think everything i own has a red rocker cover even my diesel hilux copped it , true about the paint drying time but im sure it will be fine

[ozzy1100]

looks the bolix ......

[wackyrider]

Well, after 2 weeks of work in Italy, flew out on Thursday and landed in Melbourne today (Sat) at 3am. Was home by 4am and got to bed by 5am. Sold the R1 and then fitted the engine to the Gixxer. Not a bad day considering I just got back :D

[BANDITROD]

Looking good mate and thanks for the call today

[wackyrider]

Looking good mate and thanks for the call today

No worries bud, any time

[wackyrider]

Well, some more shed time tonight. Got the throttle bodies fitted and wired up, most of the front end of the loom sorted, billet cases and SS bolt kit fitted.

Also just received my new dash (Motogadget)

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/Melbourne-20130211-00752_zpsde15a6d6.jpg

[BANDITROD]

Looks good jules the only thing I would do is either get billet covers for the rest of the engine or paint them to suit your new covers cos they look out of place to me

[wackyrider]

Yeah, I'm thinking more billet :D

[Snake_Doctor]

looking great so far Jules, Im keen to see how this turns out.

[geesexar]

nice3 jules...good work

[latheboy]

Did you go to Itaily to teach them how to talk French good?

Bikes coming together nicely....


Does the new owner of the R1 come here?

[wackyrider]

The guy contacted me through bikesales, never been on here as far as I know. But he likes the bike as is and is not gonna change anything. He promised to take care of her for me, and he's better as it's gonna be tough to see her go after about 3.5yrs

[wackyrider]

Well, decided to have a look at the forks while they were out to make sure they were all good. Better safe than sorry I say

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/IMG-20130215-00763_zps3a72f791.jpg

Then headed back home to get some more work done. This is where I currently am

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/Melbourne-20130215-00764_zps2db19802.jpg

However in the meanwhile I have not been able to start the bike as I am getting an error on the speedo. I have started another thread regarding the error message here=> http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/showthread.php?26034-GSXR-K4-problem-CHEC-on-display&p=385250#post385250

[Tim]

no idea on the error. but just checking you got the ''breakoutbox with the dash"?

Quick run over a wiring diagram got me this. pretty sure i have most of the breakoutbox done too (still pay to test with a multimeter as we go along as I'm bloody tired)

[latheboy]

So is that fork bent 0.11mm? What's the other one like ... I checked mine in the lathe and they were about the same..... 0.09mm was the worst ..

[LKC73]

Jules, congrats on selling the R1 (I think) and the gixxer is starting to roll on faster now. Tope stuff and look forward to some more updates mate.

[wackyrider]

So is that fork bent 0.11mm? What's the other one like ... I checked mine in the lathe and they were about the same..... 0.09mm was the worst ..

No, the dial indicator wasn't reset actually. I had a reading of 10 thou runout which I assumed would be normal since it's not a spinning object.

Yeah I got the breakout box as well as a multimeter. It's doing neat wiring which is an issue. i also want to try to get a plug which is like the stock so I can wire that up rather than butcher the loom

[wackyrider]

Seems like it was the indicator relay after all. Borrowed one from a friend, and SHE's ALIVE!!!!




here's the video of the first start with the rebuilt engine

[BANDITROD]

good stuff mate

[MattyDucati]

nice work

[Redmohawk]

Very good shit

[Fight_fan]

Sweeeeet!

[Tim]

That would be the prefered way. but isnt the plug your talking about the one that plugs straight into the dash?(or is there one a little further back?) might struggle to find one? :S got a decent range of electrical tools and a little bit of skill when it comes to this.

[wackyrider]

Tim, pm me your number bud and I'll give you a call. The loom disconnects further back as well. We might see if we could make a custom front loom if possible

[Tim]

empty your inbox..

give me a little bit of notice of when/where and ill do my best to make it.

[Bob]

Nice work champ!

[wackyrider]

Ok, looking for ideas on how to mount my headlight unit. I'd like to keep the forks as clean as can be as well as hide any wiring there may be. On the R1 I had used the bottom mount and used some 3mm Aluminium plate for the bottom and sides, then bolted a tab to the top mount to stop vibration.

On the Gixxer there is the damper at the bottom and the headlight is quite a different shape so not sure if I can use the same method. I'd appreciate any ideas as well as pics of what you have done to mount any small h/lights or masks.

Here's a pic of the bike

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/602483_401022226622237_84086255_n.jpg

And the h/light and about where I'd like it to sit

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/536141_10152394429615165_1748018894_n_zps83143c60. jpg

[Bob]

That look good mate, I like that shape of that light

[wackyrider]

So do I. Now need to figure out how to mount it

[Bob]

Zip ties!! Lol

[Redmohawk]

Got any mounting lugs Facing forward off the headstem/frame ? A bracket off that to the centre rear of light , maybe with a pivot. Then a pushrod off one of the triples to allow the light to swing with the forks. Giving you the closeness of light to forks without the clearance issues of just mounting light hard off frame.

Advantage would be you could mess with the leverage and get the light to swing more or less than the steering input keeping the light better on the road on tighter bends. And I've not seen it done on a fighter yet.

[xa-mont]

Sounds like more effect than it would be worth

[hooligan]

I love this forum, we went from zip ties to a super fly pivoting system to help you see around corners better in one post.
Awesome.

[Gix11]

Rad idea though. I would always be a bit sceptical though. If the "Super fly pivoting system" decided to fail and lock up, you've suddenly got no steering, and that would suck, large time.

[wackyrider]

Zip ties... maybe not

Revolutionaly cantilever system... possibly not


So what else? lol

[xa-mont]

tech screws into the fork tubes

[Bob]

Chewing gum and duct tape?

[Redmohawk]

Large black Rubber bands ala Honda xr , wrap around fork tube and fix to the rear of headlight unit. Simple easy to remove look "smart" if you use the right ones.

[wackyrider]

Most of the fork mounts are ugly as feck, hence why I don't like them. Might end up buying 4 billet fork mounts and making a bracket off them. Then I might mount the speedo off the headlight itself

[wackyrider]

Well, the bike was all together (so to speak) albeit not finished but I was dieing to see how she felt. Took her for a spin in the driveway, then a mate want to try her out as well

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/Melbourne-20130220-00777_zps233944f9.jpg

Since then I've started stripping her down again. The original measurements for the adjustable subframe were guesstimates since I couldn't measure exactly. I'm pretty happy with the seat height as is, but I decided that I'd remove 3.5mm so that I can lower it slightly if needed. Still have adjustment to raise it if I want.

So chucked in the mill at work

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/Melbourne-20130222-00779_zps986ead10.jpg

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/Melbourne-20130222-00781_zps1e429665.jpg

After that I deburred the edges and gave her a blast ready for Powder coat

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/Melbourne-20130222-00782_zpsc243b69d.jpg


I've also removed the wheels as I decided not to leave them black after all. Here I am half way there

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/Melbourne-20130222-00783_zpsc36b5296.jpg

And finally finished.

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/Melbourne-20130222-00784_zps16750e1e.jpg

Fair few hours of work, but so glad to have the workshop that I can use :D

[NINJAINOZ]

The bike is looking nice, How about something like these for the headlight mounts if you like billet>

[wackyrider]

Hmmm they do look good. Do you have a link?

[NINJAINOZ]

All the way from Germany, They make some damn nice billet reservoirs & im sure the headlight brackets would be just the same quality, Available in many different sizes to suit just about all forks

Are you using clip ons or bar and risers?
If you are using risers there is the possibility of mounting the headlight bracket from the underside of the top clamp.

i'm using risers and bars so I might do just that. Thinking of relocating the ignition barrel but trying to see where I can put it

[wackyrider]

Big thanks to Tim today for coming over and tackling the wiring loom for me. We're not done, but done a fair bit to it. Spliced the detachable loom open and extended some parts as well as re-routed most of it to be hidden. then started trying to figure out what most of the wires are for and wire them into the breakout box for the Motogadget dash. I'll let the pics do the talking

To ensure that the washers have a good surface i cleaned up the bottom a bit as the old lock had part of the casting in my way

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/IMG-20130309-00014_zps1a37392c.jpg

[Spanks]

Loving the work mate. Looking grouse. I have a K2 1000 that will be converted from plastic fantastic to something more to my liking. I'm buying up parts for that i will be starting soon. So far I have braided lines, a K6 rear that will need a custom subframe made up and a fatbar conversion kit from the uk to go on along with a pair of Leo Vince GP pipes to go on as well.

Keep up the good work.

[pav69]

you are right jules that is a very gay muffler but she is coming along nice mate

[wackyrider]

Ok, so who's good with photoshop?? Trav is already having a crack but keen to see what other people can come up with. Trav came up with an initial mock-up, which i then butchered to death in Paint as that is where all my skills are at.... (maybe not)

Anyways, this is along the lines I'm thinking. Base white with some red going through. thinking of making a white pillion seat (I may regret this later on, but what the hell)

nice reputation save there mate but the bike has to much black on it, don't worry it will be our little secret..........

I wouldnt be painting the bit around the tail lights. but thats just my 2cents.

Have you decided on a headlight mount yet?
still a bit ghetto but better then zip ties..

[wackyrider]

Time to start looking at mounting this headlight. Been thinking of a few ideas as i don't like the idea of using fork mounts. I like a clean look on the bike. Someone suggested to use the riser bolts so that's just what I did. Got some steel flatbar and started marking out and bending

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/Gixxer/IMG-20130314-00046_zps631d19b3.jpg

bolts weren't tightened up in this photo, parts are a mirror image of eachother

After a few more bends and time this is what I came up with. Going to tack the beds to restore some strength in them as the 90 deg bends are a bit harsh

I am not a fan of the colour scheme Jules. Have you tried switching the colours so it is white on red?

Not being a nay sayer just offering another opinion.

But then I may be biased as I am sick of my colour scheme. Actually hate it. I am going back to black eventually.

Someone suggested to use the riser bolts so that's just what I did.


Winnar!
Just a quick thanks in the write-up for Streetfighters mag is all I ask...

Need to get the spacers machined up for the front discs so that I can mount them. I have also installed the braided lines which look awesome (Cheers Mono) as well as new brakes and got my M-lock from Motogadget. Big thanks to Tim for all his patience. Bike can now start keyless. Fuck yeah!!!. I'll upload a video some time this week

You've come such a long way since I met you in that campervan back in whatever year it was mate. Nice, very nice!

[wackyrider]

2007 Xmas party at Bikecraft. i still remember it well bud. Got to meet a few of the boys right off the bat. I still miss that van, lived in it for a year and loved it. But yeah, things have definitly changed and for the better when it comes to bikes. Remember my first bike here, that old GPZ 600. We should actually try to get back into doing the calendars again as they were great.

The driven bars would be a nice option though if I dont like the fly bars

[BANDITROD]

[Deano]

Getting there mate. I like how you showed the whole world the position of the ignition receiver unit

Hey rod. Did you make the battery mount as well? Looks like some of you handy work
