[wackyrider]

Nice job mate

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Thanks boys. SOOOOOOOoooo close now it's shitting me. Hey Jules, will ask around about the kwakka. We should catch up for a beer and a yarn being in the same area and all.

[wackyrider]

Sure mate. PM me, we might go for a ride when you're done.

I'd love to go out for a few beers, but really on a budget till I sell the Kwaka and sort out working hours

[80s freak]

Looking the dogs bollocks!

Indicators, plate light, plate bracket and dash fitted. Will dial in the speedo tomorrow with GPS. Then it's all down to the RWC gods to pass the beast. Looking good for AFR at this stage.

[timbo]

Looking good bloke,i hope the RWC gods shine a light in your direction.
We need to get the wheels turning and get a ride together.

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

For sure mate ! Are you going to Rods place for the piss up ? May have got out of my girls 18th thing so need to sort out a shared trip to AFR with some VIC blokes / chicks.

[timbo]

Not Shaw yet i might need too spend some time at home.
But you never know what may happen.

[Harry]

shit thats come a long way mate.......looks good,ya must be happy with'a :)

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Still a lot of polishing and needs a tune up and some bits and bobs to smarten up but yeah, pretty chuffed with my first effort. Not bad for an old fat lad.

[stu]

That's a trick piece of kit mate. Ya gotta be happy with that.

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

I was a very naughty boy today and took the beastie for a quick squirt up the street, (Dialing in my speedo honest officer). 'Kin awesome ! Busa front end is great ! no head shakes, no judder under very heavy braking, sat nice and firm around corners and roundabouts figjam ! So nice to have a proper upright nekid ride after so long on that tuppaware party of a blade . I love my fighter !

[timbo]

good to hear mate bring it on

[CBRRRT]

Mate, that looks so sharp you should call it 'Razor'. Got to admit I was'nt to sure about the nose when I first saw it but now with the tail unit on and the paint it looks the absolute business fella.

Top job matey boy!!

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1278731279.jpg

with a bit of filling and sanding this should work ok.

[CamBandit17]

Cool Bandit dude! I like the light too, looks good with that gsxr light in there, fits like it was made for it.

[timbo]

That's awesome mate can't wait to see the finished product

[wackyrider]

Finally you're gonna have a decent headlight mate. Looks good

[BANDITROD]

[BANDITROD]

it looks good silver fox but i reckon it would look heaps better if it was closer to the forks

[BANDITROD]

oh and by the way i might move this to the your ride section for ya aswell

[BANDITROD]

is that a contiueum transfuctioner on your toolbox

[scotty]

You've done a fuckin good job of that nanna but i gotta agree with the big fella, and maybe make a new mount for ya dash on more ov a angle, should be able to get closer to the forks then????????

[wackyrider]

Def needs to move further in mate. But you're on the right track

[Fight_fan]

Further in and agled dwn at the front a tad more I rekon. Other than that it looks the tits mate! Good job!

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Thanks for the comments guys and I agree it should be closer to the forks BUT due to the shape of the back of the unit I can't get it closer as it hits the ignition switch. I know you're gonna tell me to HTFU and move the switch but can't be fuct right now. I tried dropping it all the way down but still hit the switch. Need more Boubon !!!

[TurboKat]

HTFU & move the ignition switch Brian.

I agree with the other homowners, if you can get the light closer to the forks it would look great...

if you need a donor subframe let me know i have a spare frame to chop up i only want the main part of the frame and i was going to cut off the subframe anyway let me know

[oldskool]

Thanks Master Blaster but Im cutting the sub off also just need the main frame.

[BANDITROD]

well the only reason i need the main frame is for comparison for the custom jobbie myself and a mate have been working on for a couple of years now if you realy need one i can prob hook you up

[oldskool]

Master Blaster you ROCK

That frame has been through more ASF members than syphilis and herpes combined...

[BANDITROD]

it sure has mate

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Been a while since I last updated so here goes. Most will remember my old B12 looking like this.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/2c9106c7.jpg
But the taxman kindly gave me back a few quid so I chose not to waste a cent and spend it on a few upgrades for the bike. Started with a new Nitron shock frm Demon Tweaks.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/3df78638.jpg
And some new spanky rotors front and rear.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/aee3d27d.jpg
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/77710e4e.jpg
Also knocked up a new headlight unit from a paintball mask and a pair of HID lamps from Egay.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/b7731b5c.jpg
Scored Rod's swingarm so shunted that in with the new shock.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/0fc628af.jpg
Then fitted a Sprint Race steering damper, drag bars, bar end mirrors, new grips, rearsets and some SS frame inserts.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/118e7324.jpg
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/1156223a.jpg
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/9ff00645.jpg
Ended up looking like this.

http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/aa22473b.jpg

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

The taxman also bought me one of these.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/fdbb9db2.jpg

So I had to see how it would look "Mocked up" so to speak.

http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/7fbb6c86.jpg

THought it looked ok and while I was just standing there, all these bits "Fell off" !!!

http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/49747877.jpg

Leaving me with this.

http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/3f963a75.jpg

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Soooo, with more than a little help from Deano, we knocked this up last night.

Looking good Bryn. Have you taken photography lessons from Pete lately? Or is it that you're jumping around like a little kid with excitment?

[Fight_fan]

^LOL Nice one Jules!

Lookin good Bryn!

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

If I'd had lessons from anyone the pictures would be ok. Truth is I'm a bit excited

[Chase]

That looks the bomb mate! Good clearance over the wheel and still looks comfy for the seat possie.

[oldskool]

Good work Bryn.

[BANDITROD]

good work silver fox gunna look shit hot mate

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Had a little more shed time yesterday. Suddenly realised that Supers is only a few weeks away and my ride is still in kit form. Did a bit more on the rear sub frame.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/5a7c5356.jpg
Made up some fillet pieces from 8mm steel and tacked them into place.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/72b8194b.jpg
Then made some infills for the nasty holes left from chopping the old subby off.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/259d8455.jpg
All my own work these bits. Took forever to shape them and kinda took my time on the welding but I rekon Deano has done ok teaching me the finer points. Deano did the TIG on the fillets coz I'm not that confident or competant yet.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/d9032fef.jpg
Then I knocked up a couple of seat mounts. Again out of 8mm material. (Fat arse proof).
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/3575d19d.jpg
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/1104d337.jpg
Should be plenty of room under there now for "Other" bits and pieces.
This little beauty turned up as well from Streetfighter Bling in UK. Quite tidy.
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/743026f2.jpg

[latheboy]

"Other" bits and pieces ..... I know what they will be... have the parts been ordered?

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

"Other" bits and pieces ..... I know what they will be... have the parts been ordered?
Some are here already, flat packed, and others are in the works. Still collating information on the best bits for use and fit. Bwahahaha

[oldskool]

Good work farmer brown.

[wackyrider]

good work Bryn.

8mm, don't you think that is slightly overboard for the plate? How much did they weigh?

[BANDITROD]

this coming from someone who wanted to use stainless steel for tripple clamps lol

looking good bryn

[oldskool]

good work Bryn.

8mm, don't you think that is slightly overboard for the plate? How much did they weigh?

A monumental fuck load less than the sub frame he cut off I would say.

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

A monumental fuck load less than the sub frame he cut off I would say.
Didn't actually weigh the bits Jules, sorry. But as Dylan said, shit loads lighter at the back end. BTW the steel plate was free so there's another reason for using it aside from the fact that it's strong as an ox.

[oldskool]

You are.

[wackyrider]

Fair call.

And Rod, only reason I has asked is that I had a lump of billet sitting outside the workshop. I'm getting smarter you know

[BANDITROD]

good to hear jules lol

[mr.zxr]

looks good. lookin forward to seein the tail unit fitted

[timbo]

thats comming along nicley mate

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Okie dokie. More shed time was had this weekend and great leaps of prgress were made. Relocated the battery box and ran all the wiring. Got a little messed up but as luck would have it, Shano called around and bailed me out. Splashed a bit of black paint to stop rust setting in, made some locking and anchor points and glassed them into the seat unit and Bobs you uncle ! Sorry for the lack of progress pictures but I was rushing. Not seen my girl in nearly a week.http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/52725d2a.jpg

Nice tail lights, was it hard to find extra sticky outy ones?

Looking good Brian Fox D'silver

[BANDITROD]

looking good old fella

[Aido]

Last pic looks brutal. The perspective makes it look cartoon like with the front wheel looking massive and the rest of the bike compressed. Looks appocolyptic. Very few projects can pull off that look. A suggestion for shits and giggles, get some cammo netting from Aussie dispossals and cover up the fork legs and swing arm. Survival fighter with class. Flame me for being gay but that thing looks like Arnie letting loose with a gattling gun. Gritty and full of muscle

[latheboy]

Nice tail lights, was it hard to find extra sticky outy ones?

Trailer lights?

You've got 3 days to fit the super awesome new parts bud, better get your shit together

[Fight_fan]

Flame me for being gay

Dont mind if I do... fuckin homo!

[Aido]

Dont mind if I do... fuckin homo!
There...doesnt that feel better?
Back to the bike.....About the only Binned it I have ever liked.

[timbo]

I like the new look but the tail lights need some work just my 2c worth

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

I don't mind the "trailer" lights. In fact I might keep them just to piss you off gecko boy. Unless dylonius Maximus finds the flush ones in his shed.

[latheboy]

I'm gonna call your shitfighter "The B-Double" and get you a, can't see my mirrors bla bla bla sign...

Hmmmm it's a fitting name now that i think of the plans you have instore for it ;)

Be berry berry twiet, i'm hunting wabbit, (With a godamn howitzer mutha fukka !!!)

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

OK, so there hasn't been much movement on this build thread, mainly coz I'm a lazy twat but also coz there has not been much progress. That said, our good mate at VCM, Big Kev or fluffy gown boy as I am now gonna call him, did me a ripper job on the seat with lots of comfy gel and carbon look goodness
http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/644959C3-808C-4595-85DA-183E598D4448-3151-000005D863ECF8CE.jpg
I have also taken delivery of a couple of new items with many more already in the mail. There is much swearing, hammering and flashing blue light in the shed right now so stay tuned for much hilarity.<br>http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/C416A520-1FBE-4D60-9AFF-D902020E9252-3151-00000729FFDC53E8.jpg<br>http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i369/got_buckleys/A3C84AE0-6454-4950-99BC-241B52EABD37-3151-000007349669DD7B.jpg
