[kartras]

A Bugger to get the airbox out.The little guys who work on these have small hands and now I have big hands with no skin on the knuckles.
To Come:
CNC top yoke and risers(ordered 2.5 months ago...not happy)
Renthal Fatbars
Goodridge hoses
Bmc Air fiter Pods (should have kept the air box...I reckon)
Factory Pro stage 3 Jet Kit
Ducati Monster Seat
Custom Subframe( world of headaches for me )
Acewell clock
and I massive Headache

Anybody got any ideas how to get off the feckin seized bolts holdin the subbie on??
Just sprayin sh1t loads of penetratin oil in but still no budge and if I get the bigger spanner I reckon I'll strip the heads off....Impact driver on the shopping list tomorrow

[Redmohawk]

A little heat can help , just not to much. Lpg torch or even a jet lighter in a pinch.

[RevHead]

had the same problem with mine the bolts were seized solid,it took a bit of ,well lets say a cold chisel to get them out ,but they did come out .

What an Impact Driver and a 4lb Lump hammer can achieve:ohttp://au.mg5.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=1_690_ANjjimIAAP9iT2hSMQRatlhyssk&pid=2&fid=Bike pix&inline=1&appid=YahooMailNeohttp://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/Subframeoff.jpg

u get a crap finish on most fibreglass panels these days as people dont care to make good quality product but spend the time in prep work & it will look the goods ,do you have to chop the subframe with that tail looks like it wont be much build is coming along great.

[kartras]

dont want to chop the old subbie..i am gonna try to make one with ally bar 25mmx 10mm

Swinger off to the powder room for some coating
http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/30042012084.jpg

[Stainr]

This is looking really good man. I am still fabing things up on the bike and not quite ready for paint on it yet. Your build makes me want to tear mine all down and start the "actual build", But I know I have somethings left to be sorted. Want to ge the engine to purr before I tear it down. So I know if the engine is going to run right. I will have to get it in to the Dyno and see if I can have it tuned.

I will get you more pics of the seat and rails tonight when I get home from work.

[kartras]

Got the Powder coating Back......

swingarm back in just to get the wheel Bearings in and some boots fitted

[K6Thou]

Anyone know where to get good prices for tyres and balancing on the sunshine coast or Brissy Northside??


MONO from here not sure if he's northside though.....

[kartras]

Yeah thanx K6Thou, I was just checkin his add out. Me thinx he may be in Brendale . Hope he does good prices for us.........hint hint

[Jinx]

Yeah thanx K6Thou, I was just checkin his add out. Me thinx he may be in Brendale . Hope he does good prices for us.........hint hint

Mono's at Brendale. He fitted a set of tyres to the KTM a few days ago and it feels like a new bike now. Good prices for members and great bloke to deal with.

[kartras]

Jeez addin those wheel stripes didnt take too long and I reckon turned out allrite.........offsets the black nicely http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/14052012105.jpg http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/14052012106.jpg

[Gix11]

Mono does fuckin' GREAT prices mate! ...and then he knocks some more off if you're an ASF member. You'd be mental not to go to him. My bike felt like new after he put the new rubber on and balanced it perfectly.

[kartras]

Fook Gix11 you got some bromance going on for mono...

Thanx for the advice man I'll give him a call a drop down to him when i get a chance

cheers Gix11

[BANDITROD]

yeah im a big plus 1 for mono mate he is fucking awesome to deal with

[kartras]

wow more bro lurve for mono...man he must have a big un

[kartras]

Ok Ok I agree big up for Nigel and Karen at The Motorcycle Tyre Warehouse.
Great Guys to deal with Good advice and Sweet prices.
Its great to get excellent service.
Big thumbs up for Mono.:)

[kartras]

New boots......well front new ,old rear for burnouts......one day whenever finished
http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/18052012108.jpg
Thanx Mono

[Stainr]

Looking really sweet!!! you should before you get to far and after the subframe is done have that frame painted as well.
What you planning on doing for rear sets? i hate the bricks that came on mine and want to upgrade to newer model K5 rear sets. so need to have mounting tabs welded on for that. 93 - 95 seems to be the bastard of the GSXR's.

[kartras]

Yup sure is a Bastard for aftermarket off the shelf bits. I dont much like the rearsets either but what else can I do.....this build is already costin too much....sh1t I sound like the Missus....Got to get the controls and new brake hoses fitted now...Have to see how many cables need extending...probably all of them.I have an acewell ace- 2853 digital speedo/tacho ordered with a brushed aluminium pod/surround...still not sure what to do for a light unit..I really wanted a LSL urban/MT03 light unit but they are exy...I have an acerbis twin light unit that may have to do until i get some more funds

[kartras]

Picked this up on the aul E-Gay the other week and arrived 2day ..sweet and noice finish too http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/31052012112.jpg http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/31052012111.jpg

[Bob]

Coming along nice, top work mate

[kartras]

Gettin there slowly...very slowly

Still havent decided on the rear end Yet. I aint too sure whether to use the Monster seat or i have picked up a ZX6R unit ( bent subbie).
If I get the subbie straightened I am leaning to using the Zx6r unit. hope to get into that soon.

Sick kiddies= not much time in the shed

[kartras]

Coming along nice, top work mate
cheers bob......gettin there slowly

[bluedrags]

Will be a sweet ride when you finish look forward to seeing any updated photos of build.

[kartras]

no more updates as of yet...sh1t busy at work and sick kids= no fun in the shed :(

hope to make some progress soon.

Hey has anyone bought a MT-03 headlight thingy from italy off Flea Bay?
I reckon for the price they got to be copies?? but was wonderin if anyone reckons they are any good or just chinese crap?

The price seem ok at around $150 delivered(light only no mounting brackets)

[lous_1979]

Yea mate I bought one. It arrived in about 5 days and was great quality. Well packaged. I just came with the side brackets and i made brackets and attached to the tripple clamp.
Below is a photo of it installed.

Cheers

[DCRacing]

Good stuff, i have a 95 1100 chassis and a few spares that i think will turn them selves into a half decent fighter........ if i ever pull my finger out.

Yeah I thought they looked good and priced ok. Google translate did the job for me too. I haven't filled with fluid so how they work is anyones guess.

[NINJAINOZ]

I have ordered a reservoir, Cant wait to get it fitted when it gets here? I will get another one later possibly with a rear reservoir also?

Get some more pics up when you can

[kartras]

Been a while since any progress...but manage to get away to the shed for a couple of hours yesterday and got the new subbie mocked up...think its right so off to my mate the so called Ally welder.........http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/zx6rtail1_zps55b44c0b.jpeghttp://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/zx6rtail2_zps4646be85.jpg

[BANDITROD]

looking good mate

[kartras]

Cheers Rod....I'm only hoping the welding for the subframe mounts are up to sctatch to hold my massive bulk...100kg+.
I am trying to slim the ole bike down it would probably be easier for me to loose a few kgs....but where is the fun in that

[BANDITROD]

hahaha yeah i hear ya on that one mate i am in the plus sizes as well

The wheelbase looks really small in that photo. I like what you're doing here mate. Very tidy.

[kartras]

The wheelbase looks really small in that photo. I like what you're doing here mate. Very tidy.

Yeah the wheelbase does look small in the picky, When the subbie gets back i'll have another look. it may just be the angle of the photo.mmmmmmm me thinks a stretched swinger may be on the horizon......

[BANDITROD]

no way short wheelbase is gooood

[kartras]

I am lookin for some stainless headers/exhaust manifold ( depends on which side of the atlantic you hail). I have heard a bandit1200 one may fit.....anyone got any ideas on which models may be interchangeable with my 93 750 wp?? or if anyone can share the dimensions of their b1200 headers?.......dont think I can afford a custom exhaust but if i thought another models header may fit I could start trawlin the ole bay of E's.

[kartras]

So got the subframe welded today and put it in place to see how it looks......

Armed with my trusty ruler, dividers, centre punch, hacksaw and files ..................

http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/zx6rtail7_zps4cca4664.jpeg

I just got to turn the ally into the template.............damn its hot in the garage........ sweatin like a rapist in a line up

[NINJAINOZ]

The new mounts for the subframe look sweet, The top looks like it will do the job nicely

Maybe trim/grind the new lower brackets you have fabbed flat (at the top right shown in the pic) where it meets the new lower subframe to get a straight weld & to meet up with the shape of the tubing better maybe?
The lower rounded section blends into the frame nicely but the curve does not suit the subframe tubing as much

http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/zx6rtail6_zps30efa96c-1_zps6507b5ba.jpg

What headlight are you going with?

What headlight are you going with?

Yeah I get what your saying.............thanx for the input.
I have marked one out on some 10 ml ally ,as per my template. I will see what it looks like when finished......but i reckon you may be right...................I may be able to modify a little.....I am wrong again :(

I have a mt-03 type unit ,,,,i got some brackets that I am not really happy with...so I guess I will make my own brackets.
I have an Acewell unit to fit so that will determine how I fit the light unit.

[NINJAINOZ]

I dont think there is really a wrong & right as it will be strong enough either way but I am a fussy cunt & thats just the way I would do it, Maybe I am wrong?
The top line I did is a bit wonky but you get the idea>

http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh540/NINJAINOZ/zx6rtail6_zps30efa96c-1_zps9111a61a.jpg

[NINJAINOZ]

I have an Acewell unit to fit so that will determine how I fit the light unit.

So you have not decided which light setup you are going for & which Acewell did you go with?

I dont know which headlight but I think you will need something modern to go with the sharp lines of the bike, Any kind of round headlight will look old & out of place but I think

[kartras]

I have an acewell 2853 in brushed alluminium and a mt03 style light unit. like this........viola

http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/Acewellandlight_zps93e82181.jpeg

[NINJAINOZ]

Yeah that headlight should do the trick, It will blend in nice with the black wheels etc & it has a modern look

[kartras]

Left hand bracket made........i aint so sure bout how it looks

http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/zx6rlowersubframebracket_zpscd13906a.jpeg

[BANDITROD]

that bracket looks good it would look alot better if it was the same colour as the subframe

[NINJAINOZ]

Considering there is a curve on the lower subframe mount the braket you made looks nice on there, Could not see the curve bit you were working with so cutting it straight would have been wrong

What do you plan on doing with the tail to tank section? Might just get away with covering the lower rear tank section somehow?

[kartras]

that bracket looks good it would look alot better if it was the same colour as the subframe

Dont know whether to polish or just paint the subbie black....mmmmmmmm

[BANDITROD]

i would try and keep the subbie the same colour as the main frame mate otherwise it will look like its not meant to be there

[Redmohawk]

Dont know whether to polish or just paint the subbie black....mmmmmmmm

I like black , mostly flat.

[la fouine]

damage the rear is too long! good job!

[CookyMon]

I am lookin for some stainless headers/exhaust manifold ( depends on which side of the atlantic you hail). I have heard a bandit1200 one may fit.....anyone got any ideas on which models may be interchangeable with my 93 750 wp?? or if anyone can share the dimensions of their b1200 headers?.......dont think I can afford a custom exhaust but if i thought another models header may fit I could start trawlin the ole bay of E's.

I have a '91 GSXR750 sitting in the garage (future project) which I squeezed a set of Delkevic B12 headers onto. They fit with a bit of effort as they're a bit wider than the 750 pipes. I'll get into the garage in the next few days and snap some pics. Cylinder spacing is the same (or close enough) on all that era Suzuki GSXR750, 1100, and B12 models.

Bike's looking good. The only thing I don't like is that for the lower mount you used a single bolt for both ends, which means that you have no triangulation. The usual force will obviously be downwards so shouldn't be an issue, however if you hit a big enough bump I would assume that the way it is mounted the top mount will act as a pivot point as the two lower mounting points are not at their longest distance from each other as they are. If this were to happen you are going to put undue stress ont he sub-frame and it may give you an issue in the long run.

PS. I am half jet-lagged from being half way around the world right now, so you could tell me to go get fucked as you don't care for my opinion :D

I have a '91 GSXR750 sitting in the garage (future project) which I squeezed a set of Delkevic B12 headers onto. They fit with a bit of effort as they're a bit wider than the 750 pipes. I'll get into the garage in the next few days and snap some pics. Cylinder spacing is the same (or close enough) on all that era Suzuki GSXR750, 1100, and B12 models.

Cheers CookyMon,

A few piccys and measurements would be great whenever you get a chance. Thanx.

Yeah I had the same thoughts bout hitting a bump and me and my 100kg+ bulk being launched. When I am happy with the brackets and know exactly how I am going to finish the brackets I will probably get the brackets welded to the subbie and leave the bolts in for looks. This would hopefully fix that problem.

Jet lag is a bitch you dont know if you are coming or going. I will be in touch bout the number plate surround when the woman in me has figured out which colour she wants.She had her heart set on black

No worries mate. I have all the other colours, but if you want one engraved, it has to be before I move to Brissy

Been a while since any progress...but manage to get away to the shed for a couple of hours yesterday and got the new subbie mocked up...think its right so off to my mate the so called Ally welder.........http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/zx6rtail1_zps55b44c0b.jpeghttp://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/zx6rtail2_zps4646be85.jpg

Looking good mate.

Did you say you had a monster tail seat unit also?

If so do you want to sell it?

I've got an idea for a new look for mine.

I have a monster seat and a seat cowl for the pillion position like so:

If you are interested send us a PM. The seat could probably do with a recover as the vinyl is starting to show signs of wear

Just caught up with this build progress. Man does this look real good. You have been coming up with some real good ideas. Keep up the good work man. Your bike is my inspiration now.
