VTR1000f build. With pics.

[aaa123]

Hey all, joined yesterday & a few people said to show pics of progress, so here it is.

Started with this,

Then to this,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/2009-04-1316-52-43_0074.jpg

Ended up like this,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/01122011010.jpg

Then decided to build a fighter, so here we go, Hope you enjoy.
Might need some help along the way :cool:.

[aaa123]

Had these,

And these,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/BkBtvQCGkKGrHqIOKkYEsmmRrFsBLV2Ig431w_12.jpg

So I did this,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5307.jpg

So basically 5kg each for stockers, without hardware.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5305.jpg

And ended up with 6kg for the pair of Carbon cans, with hardware :D.

[aaa123]

This is my work area :mad:, so I will apologize in advance if some of my pics are not the best.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5326.jpg

[aaa123]

I know its been done before, but I love the Buell XB headlight, so that's what I'm using.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF4265.jpg

Then I got this, yes I love carbon fiber too.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF4264.jpg

I have my twin headlight wiring set up, this allows me to run low beam & high beam together.

Where did you get the carbon sleeves from?

[Gix11]

Yep, that's the sort of posts and photos we were talking about mate! Good stuff. Keep it coming.

[M.V.]

Love the cans mate, good job! (They are about 50% too long though :p )

[aaa123]

Where did you get the carbon sleeves from?

Ebay, but it was around 3 or 4 years ago. They do pop up now and then. You can get replacement sleeves from Yoshimura.

[aaa123]

I only have hand tools & limited space, so keep the laughter to a minimum when you see my sub-frame swap ! :p

I got a 2004-2007 cbr1000rr sub-frame,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/2007-honda-cbr1000rr-subframe.jpg

I made some brackets out of 3mm x 32mm x 32mm Aluminium angle, I used 3 stacked together for each side.
So the brackets are 9mm thick, the sub-frame supports me and if I stand at the back of the bike I can lift the rear wheel off the ground by pulling up on the sub-frame. I'm no engineer, so if anyone see's some thing wrong with my sub-frame brackets let me know !

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5366.jpg

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5362.jpg

[aaa123]

Then I had to make a tray to hold the battery & electric's, it may not look like much, but it took me forever to make.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5365.jpg

Also got a new Mosfet R/R, as the VTR's R/R's are not the best.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5344.jpg

With the CBR's seat in the stock position on the sub-frame there is a gap of 5cm between the seat & tank, so I have moved the seat bracket forward 5cm & also the rear fairing & rear seat all need to come forward 5cm. Sounds simple enough, but a lot of time measuring, then drilling new holes & making brackets.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5367.jpg

[Cruisecontrol]

Nice work so far!
Any ideas on those butt ugly radiators? I have had a couple of VTRs and the stumbling block has always been the cooling system.

[Dano919]

Looking good love the vfr's

[Gix11]

Not 100% sure on the subframe multi plate aluminium mounting idea mate. The stresses and strains of road riding are a lot stronger than you think. I would be getting a length of steel box section or tube if it were me.

[xa-mont]

the only problem i see with the subframe is that it's butt ugly. i would be rethinking that one if i were you.

Post some more close up pictures of where the subframe meets the frame and we can all try nut out a better idea for you.

Hey thanks Cruisecontrol,

I was thinking about mounting the right hand side rad up front & moving the oil cooler. Not sure yet, I didn't like the side mount rads at first, but now I don't mind them !?

Thanking you kindly Dano919.

I'm not 100% sure either, I think it will do for now & I think it will be ok for a test ride round the block. Will still be thinking about it & I am all ears to hear what you & others have to say about it.
The top sub-frame mount is a direct fit to the top frame mount & uses the original bolts, so the top mount is all good.

Yep, its not the prettiest. But I don't really have a work place & only have hand tools. I am open to suggestions.
I was thinking about a carbon fiber wrap around the angle, might look better & add some strength, what yall think ?

Some Dick dented my tank, so I am going for a colour change, White. Also got some mirrors hooked up.
When I do the front end swap I will probably go dirt bars.

Oh, & today sucks the big one !

Got up at 5am to go to work & had a flat tyre, then when I come home & check the mail there is 5 envelopes, I open the 1st one & its a $600 bill, the 2nd one is a $200 bill, the 3rd one is another $200 bill, the 4th one is a $875 bill & the 5th one is a $1006 bill, what the fuck ! That's almost $3,000 :mad:. I keep thinking of all the parts I could of bought for my bike. So today officially sucks the big one.

[aaa123]

Connected my indicators & I also got a cbr1000rr LED tail light.

i'd make adapter plates for the subbie mate, which tie up all the mounting holes together. i could draw what i mean if you want

[aaa123]

Yeah, lets see it. Nothing to complex tho, I got no fancy tools or work place. That's why I went for the alu angle, cause it was easy enough for me to cut with hack saw & use hand file to smooth out edges & cordless drill for the holes.

I seen this vtr1000 sub-frame made from alu & that's what made me think my stacked together L-angle would be strong enough, the sub-frame below looks like it is made out of 2mm thick tube & brackets. So I figured 9mm thick would be ok for strength.

smth like that, all you need is a drill, angle grinder or/and jig saw

[aaa123]

Hears another shot of my sub-frame bracket that every one wants gone :rolleyes: ,

Also I got my vtr exhaust hangers to work on the cbr sub-frame, just needed to drill one extra hole each side in the cbr sub-frame & it all lines up for my mufflers, cool.

And my rear brake reservoir bracket I cut out of a $2 bread board from the supermarket.

Yep, I was originally wanting to do a bracket like that (see below), but my problem was that the vtr's upper & lower sub-frame mounting points are not the same width, the lower mounting point is much wider than the upper mounting point & the cbr's sub-frame also has different width upper & lower mounting points (see below picture).

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5362a.jpg

You can see in the below picture why I went with the straight angle to join the lower mounting points.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5014a.jpg

[aaa123]

I would like to do something like this, But at the moment I don't think I am able to make it.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/6_zpsdb843fcb.jpg

[safighter]

i think if you go from inside the bottom mount to outside top mount you will be close with a few washers as spacers

[aaa123]

Hey safighter, it is 25mm +/- 2mm gap between the upper & lower, see below image.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5014c.jpg

These brackets look about 25mm thick,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/6_zpsdb843fcb.jpg

This is what I have come up with, the blue part is the new bracket, I would need to cut part of cbr subframe away (red shaded section) & put bolt threw cbr lower mount (green circles). Something like that, what you all think,
Keep the comments coming ! Thanks every one.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5014b.jpg

[aaa123]

I'm thinking maybe this, Blue bracket 25mm thick & second red bracket welded behind blue bracket, then I don't need to cut cbr lower mount with bolt threw lower mount & red bracket.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5014e.jpg

[wackyrider]

I was going to suggest putting a solid bar between the 2 lower mounts and then welding on mounts for the subframe on that

who the fuck gets $3000 bills in the post in 1 day. Nothin wrong with havin a go mate,i used a lot of extruded alloy on my old bike to make things fit,started out as a rat fighter then ended up quite impressive in its day. Just gotta clean up the square cut lookin ends and make it all flow. Where are you located? chances are there is someone in your area that can help you with the stuff you lack tools to do yourself.(pronounced Yousef in Bankstown)

Hey davo, updated my location ( Melbourne, Vic ). I live in an apartment, so I can not make any noise or mess ( to many people will complain ) so I can not be using any angle grinders or stuff like that, that's why I have been using aluminium angle, cause I can cut it with a hack saw, its easy & quiet.
I called up a water jet cutting company today about having them cut out some brackets for the subframe, I told them I could give them some cardboard templates & asked if they could scan the templates into the computer then cut out my brackets using aluminium, they said they could not scan in my templates, they would have to draw them up in the computer & the time it will take for them to draw in the computer would probably make it to expensive , so I think I will have to leave the brackets for now ( maybe paint them black so they blend in ). But I will keep thinking about it & keep the ideas coming every one. Iv never used a milling machine before, if I sent some one some card board templates of the brackets would it cost much to make out of aluminium ?

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5014e.jpg

[xa-mont]

if you make templates and post them to me (i'm in Bairnsdale, Vic) I will draw them up in whatever format they want them for free.

[aaa123]

Hey xa-mont, that's a generous offer, thanking you kindly !

The water jet cutting place did tell me what format they wanted, but I kind of drifted off when they were saying it would probably cost too much for them to draw up the brackets, they did say I was welcome to bring the templates down for them to take a look at.
Maybe I will make up some cardboard templates & go see them to talk about what format they require & costs for cutting.

This is basically what I was thinking. I will let you know what they say.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/subframebrackets.png

[wackyrider]

Yeah pretty much.

The waterjetting place would probably want the drawings in DXF format or maybe DWG.

Place the measurements of the drawings that you did and either Trav or myself can draw them up for you. You just need to make sure you fully dimension the templates.

[davo]

good luck with it

[aaa123]

Going to be busy with work for the next 7 days so wont get a chance to do any thing. Did manage to make up some card board templates so you guys can see the exact shape they will be. I have a jigsaw, can a jigsaw cut 10mm thick aluminium ? If so maybe I could cut these brackets out of 10mm & then double them up to make 20mm .

Edit- Ok, so I searched online & yeah you can cut 10mm thick aluminium with a jigsaw !
So I'm going to try it, probably have to wait a week or 2.

Yeah, the more I look at those L angle brackets the worst they look ! :o

But that's what I like about these forums, some times it takes a few people to say "hay, re-think those brackets" & then you can come up with a new plan. I don't mind constructive criticism.
Those brackets have helped me to get the subframe attached & lined up, so they have helped me out.

[aaa123]

Busy at work, so no time to do anything. Thought I would post up some pic's of how it was when I got it.
Lots of small damage, but the main stuff was ok (wheels,forks, electric's, speedo, swingarm).

wow mate! that's some awesome work in what little space you have to work in! the progress is going well, keep the pic's coming.

[erno]

Well done mate,good to see another VTR being built,
With the tail you'll find it is too long.I cut 50mm from mine looks heaps better.
Also if you can find another wrecked rear subframe,I would cut the btm rails
And tig it to the one you have ,looks better and stronger.
Here is a veiw of what I did.

Thanks TillerRider, Yep I wish I had a garage !:eek: I will just keep doing the best I can in my little area.

[aaa123]

Well done mate,good to see another VTR being built,

Hi erno, I went a different way, instead of cutting 50mm out of the subframe, I have moved the front/rear seat's & rear fairing forward 50mm so I didn't need to cut the subframe. And I am not using the rear fairing as stock, I have chopped about 170mm out of it, so my rear end should be around 220mm shorter than stock! ;)

[aaa123]

I got some time to make up some new subframe brackets. :D

Went & got some aluminium flat bar,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5019.jpg

Traced my cardboard templates onto the flat bar & grabbed my jigsaw, ended up with these,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5033.jpg

This is how they look,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5034.jpg

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5040.jpg

Might paint them black, not sure yet. Anyway, took me around 3 hours to make.

And I gotta say thanks to xa-mont & wackyrider for offering to draw the brackets up in there computers for the water jet people, its guys like you that make this forum AWESOME !! :p

[aaa123]

those brackets are about a trillion times better! great job mate. it's helpfull having inspirational people like surt around doing all this shit with basic tools... i'm way too impatient for that shit and prefer to do with with cheety technology :D

Now you're talking mate! Well done.

Thanks, Yep, I saw Surt's rear set adapters & thought maybe I should try that, so I grabbed my jigsaw.
Would have been nice to have had them water jet cut, but a few people told me they would of charged an arm & a leg.
Thanks again for the offer xa-mont !

[aaa123]

Now you're talking mate! Well done.

Thanks Gix11, you were the first one to question those brackets & I thank you for that.

Like I said in my first post, "might need some help along the way" :rolleyes:

[aaa123]

I got a 07 cbr1000rr rear fairing, it's busted up a bit, but I'm going to try some thing with it. A little cut & chop.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5349.jpg

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5348.jpg

Also got a cbr600rr rear seat, think it was 2008 (to tired to think right now) it is a little bit small, but should do the job for now.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5380.jpg

You can see in this pic, one of the cracks, around 15cm's long, there is also 2 more cracks on the other side.
And you can also see how the cbr600rr seat is a little bit small.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5379a.jpg

[aaa123]

Going to try & plastic weld the cracks with my soldering iron,

If it doesn't work I might just put some 1000 stickers over the crack, cause the crack is about the same spot the original stickers go. See how it goes, not to fussed if it doesn't work.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5421.jpg

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5428.jpg

Not sure how strong it will be ? Might need to melt some plastic zip ties into it.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5427.jpg

And if you didn't notice, I have cut around 17cm from the rear of the fairing.
I new it was going to be to long from the start & was always planning on giving it the chop.

Got some vents for the rear fairing.

[BOBBY]

That's a good spot for the reg. You don't muck around haha!
Any chance of a side shot so we can see that tail a bit better?
I think that chop looks good.

[aaa123]

So I need to work out the rear tail light,

I want to keep the rear end as short as possible, so I mounted the tail light low to keep things short.

But now, I'm thinking the tail light is to low.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5450a.jpg

Either I fill the gap between the tail light & the top of the rear fairing with a panel of some sort or .....

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5441a.jpg

Quick photoshop job ...

Raise the tail light, which will mean chopping the subframe to make it fit or having the tail light stick out a bit.

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5441b.jpg

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5462a.jpg

I really couldn't be fucked cutting up the rear subframe, but I just might have to. :mad:

Hey BOBBY, thanks.

Yeah no problem. I got a few days of, so I will try and get a few side shot's & post them up in the next couple of days.

I reckon a custom home made tail light is in order here.
You can get red led strips on egay that would tuck up inside the tail there nicely.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140972656270
Something like that would work.

[Gix11]

I'd be getting the correct tail light for the seat unit and making it fit. A lot easier than creating a new shroud for a new light and tring to make it all fit, unless you like a challenge of course?

[aaa123]

What problems did you have with the plastic erno ?

Yep, I do have some of that aluminium mesh left over from another project & a glue gun, was thinking about using the mesh but then thought the original vents looked way better & they were only around $5 each.

[aaa123]

I was originally going to use a slim line led tail light, but already had the cbr1000rr tail light, so thought I would try it.

Think erno & BOBBY are right, probably going to ditch the cbr tail light & get a new slim line tail light.

This is more of a budget build, trying to use parts that I already have, so If I already have it, I will try it first, then if it does not work out, then I will buy something else.

[aaa123]

That is the correct tail light Gix11, its a 07 cbr1000rr tail light & 07 cbr1000rr rear fairing, on a 07 cbr1000rr subframe.

The problem is that the cbr tail is too long, & I like the look of a short rear end, so I chopped around 17cm from the back of the cbr rear fairing & moved the rear fairing forward 5cm on the subframe, so now the rear end is 22cm shorter than stock.

Stock,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5348.jpg

Then I chopped straight through the Repsol sticker,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/DSCF5435.jpg

[Gix11]

Ahh, sorry mate, now I get ya. Yea, subframe alteration would be the only way with that light then. Oh well, all more stuff for you to fiddle with and master mate.

[aaa123]

The cbr tail light is fairly long, around 10cm, don't have a Ebay/Paypal account, but thinking I will try & find a slim line tail light, something that's maybe 4cm long, that would mean I wont need to cut the subframe.

Grabbed this pic of a cbr1000rr tail light from the internet,

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g428/2000jeep2000/index.jpg

Something like this could work, (below)

That's the light I have. It's near useless. Especially on a black bike.

Which light are you referring to BOBBY ? The smoked cbr1000rr or the smaller one ?

I'm thinking you are talking about the smoked cbr1000rr tail light, not sure, as I posted pic's of 2 tail lights.
