I'm getting bundles of emails from other members/visitors saying they cant find my thread and some are saying the photos in the early stuff are missing. This post should go to your inbox if you are subscribed and hopfully youve followed the link back to this page.

I've PM'ed Si and asked him if he can do anything about the photos.

I'm blown away by how many people have mailed me and didnt realise how many folks was using my thread as a guide to building their own creations.

Thanks for your support and I will answer all your mail's

Didnt have any problems mate, but the guys that are mailing me say they are.

Oh, and the other thing, I didnt get notification of your post to this thread Surt even though I'm subscribed "????"

[Gix11]

Hey Jon, I found a way around it mate. I have to import 2 gigs worth of files from the old server. It's churning over now so it should be all back to normal by the end of the day, hopefully.

As for subscribing to your own topic to get notifications of new posts in it mate, I'm pretty sure you just look for the THREAD TOOLS drop down at the top of this page and select SUBSCRIBE TO THIS THREAD. With the threads listed in the froum there is a little green circle with a tick in it. This indicates that you are subscribed to it apparently.

By the way, whatever you subscribe to will be listed in your SETTINGS (link at top right) so you can always see your subscribed posts together.

See how you go mate.

[Cruisecontrol]

Mate, I love the detail you put into your builds and you have inspired me to crack on with mine.
I am having trouble sourcing foam for a seat pad and the stuff you got would be perfect. Do you still have the details of the eBay seller?

Mate that looks and sounds great! top work, as per usual.

[CBRRRT]

Thanks lads, its been great fun to do, and as you say Lance, Proper old school.
But we all on here because our first love is Streetfighters. While I've been doing my cafe racer I've had one eye on the blade, and while I think its a nice bike, well, I could be better.

I'm going to be doing some changes to the old girl and take it to the next level. My mind has started to glow again and I'm going to quite literally expand on what I've already done.

You guys are great and your comments help to keep me driven.

DCRacing is a proper quality bloke, and I thank you Sir for sponcering my thread. I hope you approve of the changes about to manifest on the CBR-RRT mate.

[Jed]

Great thread and Great build. Have been following this from the start. Hats off to you. The bike looks fantastic. It has given me some inspiration to drag this old girl out again and do some mods.

Cheers, Jed.

[K6Thou]

I have been lurking/ checking out your thread for a while mate, you must be doing something right because I showed my Mrs your CX build last night and she was impressed !!!! Nice work mate.

[NoZ]

[CBRRRT]

Thanks guys, yeah N

[CBRRRT]

More problems.

Following day when the CX engin was cold I tried to start it again and all it would do was cough and bang.
I changed out the 75/115's for a 90/120 jet setup and it now works great with my filter/zorst. My jet needle's are of a non adjustable type, so I also made 2 x 1mm thick shims from ptfe plastic and fitted one on each needel.

Next I'm going to balance the carbs and it will be ready to go on the dyno. :D

[BANDITROD]

good stuff Jon as always mate im sure you will nut it out

[CBRRRT]

Done and dusted Rod. Carbs are all diled in and balanced, and although it aint no blade, its a twin cylinder four stroke little rocket ship and put a huge grin on my face taking it along the coast road.

Just need to give it a good clean and polish, take a few nice shots of it and stick a for sale sign on it.

Next please!!!

[metalback]

Hi Jon, what u thinking of doin to the blade then?

Fuck mate, thats a good looking machine! Much respect for all the work you put into that, and all your bikes! If that was in aust, it would be snapped up in a heart beat mate. Good luck with your sale.

[metalback]

Sounds good, be interested to know how that affects the handling

[CBRRRT]

Sold it for £1,900 and made a grand ;)

[Surt]

Jon so uve got urself a 1000 quids and happy like a pig in dirt but use ur fuckin brains for how many evening and weekend shifts? u'd get paid ten times more working at the 2nd job so if u luv squattin in ur shed dont pretend it pays well

[Gix11]

Yea, but that's the point Surt. Doing something you love doing, learning and improving your skills and then somebody gives you a grand for your efforts. Sounds good to me. I don't get shit for what I do in the shed!

[Surt]

yup u no that i feel the same Si just banterin with mates im of to me shed to have fun and earn a coin on it in the future

[CBRRRT]

Im not pretending it would pay as a business Surty boy, but it will go a long way to funding parts for the Necromorph. You would find that out to if you ever finished anything ;) lmfaro.

[fimpBIKES]

its pretty rare for any project vehicle to turn a profit
congrats

bahaha d'u mean i have never finished anything Jonathan? of 6 my projects shown of on here 3 had been finished, one of the bikes 'the crow' was sold for 20 times more money than itd been bought as pile of parts two others 'panzerfaust' and naglfar' were finished and ridden and now r bein modded cos theres no limits to improvin d'ya reckon? do i have to remind u that 4 of 5 my current projects include diy frames, wheels, tanks, fenders, seats etc as well as 4 of them have homemade components of efi and turbo setup? car engines? homemade transmission? n'i dont think so! yup those 5 projects take 80% of my free time and coin, only for b12 i of already spent more than 1000 quids naturally excludin the bikes cost itself (2000 poms quids) while others took 2-3 times more well its not about coin spent but about the process no worries mate my bike projects will be finished sooner or later no matter how theyr amusin u Jonny boy

[CBRRRT]

You are an incredible engineer Surt, there's no argument there matey bloke.

[mr.zxr]

Surt, you may be an incredible bike builder/engineer, but you need to work on adding a few of these .... in your typing. i'm no school teacher, but i can't keep up with what your saying. Or you could just tell me to fuck off.:)

[xa-mont]

just don't take punctuation advice from RHP :P
