Was much easier then I made it out to be. THe biggest bastard was removing the sleeve from the ineer perforated tube. It was welded in about 15 different spots, what a bastard. Timbo ended up grinding it off :D

The rivets sure helped as well mate. Cheers. Pob the only time 'd say this, but sure loks better once I chopped 6" off it :D

[Mishdog20]

Its not always about the length mate, the sheila's luv the girth..lol. Lookin schmick now mate, when are we goin for a blat???

[wackyrider]

Whenever the weather is half decent. Will have the missus on the back though, so will have to take it easy

[xa-mont]

WAIT FOR ME!!!! i should be dropping everything off for paint tomorrow.

[wackyrider]

Sweet. Is paint all that's left?

[xa-mont]

and a few bits and pieces here and there (rearsets, a little wiring, crash knobs, new grips/barends/mirrors), but paint is the main thing.

[wackyrider]

Took a few photo's of the bike in the backyard.

[BANDITROD]

She has come a long way Jules ...looking good

[wackyrider]

Cheers Rod. Still remember the first time I saw her at the auctions all that time ago. Happy with the outcome of my first build, even though it's taken a while due to lack of cash. Bloody stoked with the outcome though :D[8D]

[wackyrider]

[Gitzy]

Awesome work Jules

[wackyrider]

Cheers guys

[Big Dan]

Looks real good mate well done. Love that paint job[8D]

[mr.zxr]

if you short of cash you could have sold some of those oranges.:D probably too busy building bikes to pick em.

[latheboy]

That looks good, I reckon you should also paint the bottoms of your forks black.
They look like the last thing you haven't touched.

[wackyrider]

Next time I have the wheels off maybe. Which should be soon as my tyres are past their use by date....

[timbo]

yes Jules you most defantly need a new front as the one you have atm is fingered

[HueyonaBlade]

Been away from keyboard and shed for a while Jules this a big surprise nice job!

[wackyrider]

Cheers dave. What's going on with your bike?

[wackyrider]

[BANDITROD]

They are cool pix ....you dirty little Frenchman

[wackyrider]

Been meaning to do this for a while but took a sickie from work today so I decided to spend some time taking measurements and drawing some ideas.


What do you think, Good, bad...?

Heel Guards and exhaust bracket
10621063

[Chase]

Schmick work Jules, very nice! I'll send u the measurements for my TL ;)

[wackyrider]

Schmick work Jules, very nice! I'll send u the measurements for my TL ;)

Send me measurement and an idea of what you want and I'll see what I come up with. Been off CAD for a while and want to get used to using it again

[Mishdog20]

are u sure the heel guards will be thick enough???

[wackyrider]

lol, they are actually 6mm the current ones, i'll make them all in 5mm though. I reckon that should do.

[K6Thou]

Nice work mate. Just a question did you model the exhaust hanger with just the two big dusters ? For me it looks a little cluttered ???? with the four of them there..... Feel free to tell me to fuck off ;)

[wackyrider]

To be honest I thought about it but I reckon this is just a bit different to the heel guards this way

[wackyrider]

This could be version 2

What do u reckon?

1064

[K6Thou]

Could you have the two larger dusters less back to back ???? Hard to type what I'm seeing in my head but can you make the left hand side the same as the the right ie the first finger hole of the duster on the left meets the mounting hole like it does on the right.... Putting them at more of a 'V' and not back to back....


Does any of that make sense ???

[wackyrider]

not back to back but tweaked it a bit more

1065

[K6Thou]

Nice mate. Where do I send my order ? lol

[wackyrider]

Lol, what do u want made? I enjoy doing this so wouldn't cost you much more than the cost of the material and waterjet, plus a couple of beer tokens

[Fight_fan]

Nice one Jules! That'l look awesome!

[Chase]

Send me measurement and an idea of what you want and I'll see what I come up with. Been off CAD for a while and want to get used to using it again

Measurements and beer tokens will be forthcoming :D

[wackyrider]

No drama chase.

[wackyrider]

Was getting a bit annoyed with the speedo always reading off my actual speed, so finally went out and bought myself a Speedo Healer

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/P1000415.jpg

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/P1000416.jpg

Following the instructions is quite easy and after going online and inputting the old and new sprocket sizes all you have to do is program it up.

Connect into the wiring loom,

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/P1000417.jpg

And find where to locate somewhere under the seat

http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/wackyrider/P1000418.jpg

[BANDITROD]

you should have asked jules i have one of those sitting here what are they worth these days

[mr.zxr]

Fuck mate, is there anything you don't have??

you should have asked jules i have one of those sitting here what are they worth these days

[BANDITROD]

yeah lol

[wackyrider]

Don't worry Rod, I might need one for the Gixxer when I'm done with it

[BANDITROD]

ok mate let me know when your keen

[wackyrider]

Finally got off my ass and polished and installed the new Heel Guards that I made

[kiwi kdx]

Verry nice mate!

[Bob]

Looks good mate

[geesexar]

well done jules lookin great

[Gitzy]

Looks the Biz Jules..

[wackyrider]

Yeah, these and the exhaust bracket are the last of custom parts I make for the R1. All efforts on the Gixxer at this stage. Problem is I'm out of cash!! Doh!!

[JDinOZ]

Nice heelguards man! thats exactly what I was going to do with my bike untill I got some arrow carbon ones.. very nice

[wackyrider]

The bike was running rough after NFR due to some bad fuel. Got the carbies off and with the help of Simon stripped them down and got him to put the though his Ultrasonic Cleaner. We noticed some white deposit on one of the jets, probably from calcification due to some water in the fuel....

Carbies were re-assembled and put back in the bike and she's now running much smoother. Sweet!!

292929302931

While the carbies were off I realised that one of the screws of the rubber inlet clamps was missing and along with it the spacer that works as a stopper. Found some swagelock tubing and just drilled it out to suit and than cut a piece off to lenght

[stiffsimon]

Glad that the U/S cleaning solved your problem Jules and that your bike is running sweet now.

[wackyrider]

Sen took some good pics of the old girl up at NFR

[bladehunter]

[hooligan]

[BANDITROD]

[hooligan]

And they are awesome homo shoes.

[BANDITROD]

hahahahaha

[wackyrider]

She's gone and now I feel almost numb. 4.5yrs and many hrs in the shed working on her. Her new owner better treat her well.

[Gix11]

Onwards and upwards mate!

[wackyrider]

Well, bike has been through 2 owners since I sold her. The guy who bought her off me used her as a daily commuter so she was seen a bit in the city. He sold her on recently and I spoke to the new owner. He was loving the bike.

However seems like he was out on the weekend and may have had a little off.

I tried to, and as you can see from the tail i also threw it into a honduh to try to rid world of those too, he stayed upright but i still did enough damage to write both bikes off.
