[opindown]

[CBRRRT]

Did ya manage to finish the tank at the weekend mate?

[Azrael]

No mate, spent the weekend recovering from beer tour..

Brace yourself.. tommorrow i will finish the tank and start the new rear section..from scratch..

[CBRRRT]

Owwwwwwwwwwwww cant wait!!!!!!!!!!

BEER TOUR!!!!!!!!!!
you dont mean to tell me there are drinkers on this forum, do you!!!!

[zx12argh]

Western Australians aren't drinkers mate... They like to sip their bicardi breezers through a straw... ;)

Hurry up and finish the tank Az!

[Azrael]

Mmmkay, this is how i left the tank on friday arvo..

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/62380931052425.jpg

[Azrael]

Came in this morning and started hacking into stuff..

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/62380931075366.jpg

[Azrael]

Then i figured i better put some more back into it..

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/62380931067630.jpg

[Azrael]

I beat the bergeezus outta the centre sheet to lip the edge up..
Its hard to beat starting your day hitting stuff with a hammer..

[Azrael]

Sometimes what looks good on the bench looks like shit on the bike..

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/62380931073176.jpg

[Azrael]

I rekon the top front of the tank looks too fat and too high so its got a date with the grinder..

I cut the original seat unit up and started to brace it with a new slightly different plan..

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/62380931076000.jpg

[Azrael]

Its just strong enough to hold my 115kg so i sat on it and despite looking uncomfortable it feels pretty bloody good, cant wait to put bars on to get a better perspective of wheelie sitting..

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/62380931058210.jpg

[Azrael]

Its not going to be everyones taste but its definately gonna have some wild lines when shes done..

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/62380931074230.jpg

[rock hard]

Hey Tom,molten metal through the wedlding helmet lens is pretty to watch.then beating the shit out of metal with a hammer is great stress relief.nice work man..

[opindown]

very nice, you are obviously very dedicated to the cause. top work, cant wait to see it when it is done

[Fight_fan]

Yeh that tank looks WAAAYY too big hey! Otherwise, she's gonna be wild mate! I like it!

[Azrael]

Ok, tank has been chopped in all right places. I only really wanted to slim out the top front so it didnt look so boulbous and fugly.
The overall look of the tank i was going for was a big fuckoff and looking thing and i think im close..

Looks fantastic mate, stick to your plan and dont chop it about, it looked the nads how it was.

Jees-a-lou mate, thats fuckin stunning. I love it. Aint no way you're gonna be happy with that swing arm after what you've done up top. Single sider would look Kak mate, you have to do something as far out as the tank and seat unit even if you mod the one thats on there now.

Fuckin brilliant mate, buy more gas.

[Azrael]

Got this one out of <s>a swamp</s> the UK

Just gotta pull it to bits, see how it works, then build my own..

[Azrael]

I was talking about real guns..

Oh and bag that show out all you want, admitedly it has turned into a circus act, but the original series where they actually filmed a lot of the fabrication and assembly problems were an exceptional learning aid for first time bike builders of any genre.

The bikes werent always to everyones taste but they all showed a high level of fabrication skill and design savvy. It's just a shame talentless armchair critics with internet access spend their time pulling the piss out of real fabricators instead of hitting the shed and having a crack at something original..

Saving that spray up for a while were we?

My point was that with guns it would resemble their Comanche bike. Nothing more, nothing less.

[BANDITROD]

yeah but guns rock and if you mix them with bikes they rock even harder

Im calling bullshit on this for two reasons. If you sincerely wanted people to believe that was the point you would have simply written it.

Secondly your "points" are rarely worth the time it took you to google them..

Oh and that wasnt a spray, believe me youll know when youre getting one of them..

[Cruisecontrol]

[CBRRRT]

Whats wrong with you Dan, you cant compair that to what Toms doing mate, the thought and effort that has gone into his seat and tank is fantastic.

You might not like what he's done but you surely have to admire the mans fabrication skills and thought process. After all, is it not the reason we all Streetfight, because we all like something different, something one off, and not an off the peg R1 or Gixa.

I fucking hate Harleys but I look at some of them and think, 'fuck me the guy that built that has some tallent'.

Look beyond what you see as a weard shape and try to see the big picture.

If I had half your tallent Tom I would be chuffed to fuck mate.

Keep going mate, cant wait to see the end product.

[Cruisecontrol]

I have and the end product = Unrideable.

[CBRRRT]

Cruise, I recon you have as much right to your opinion as anyone on here but if you want to criticise mate, why not make it constructive.

What do you think makes it unrideable, and how would you solve the problem?

Do you think the tanks to big, and the fule sloshing about would make it unstable. And because of that would you fit a baffel in the tank.

Surely your not saying its unrideable coz you dont like the shape mate!

I think its a clever design mate and looks like it will be comfortable to ride. The tank has a recess at the rear of it to accomodate the riders knees, and although angular the seat looks to be more comfortable than a flat unit that makes your arse ache after an hour in the saddle.

So without being sarcastic mate, whats your point, I really am interested to know.

[ozkat]

Looks shit hot Az, keep up the good work.

One leans forward to ride, however this particular section will prevent that from happening without exceptionally long arms...

[Weaselman]

I think the tank would look better recessed into the frame rails but i dont know if you'd have clearence issues with the head's

[CBRRRT]

Thats better now is'nt it, that comment is more constructive than simply putting up a picture of a bent fork.

You might have a point there Dan.

Had you though of that Tom? If you have to break hard, and slide forward it could punch you in the guts every time.

Had you bothered to read the whole thread, more specifically this bit... http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14016&whichpage=4
Then you would know its hardly a reach for someone 6'4" as i have checked this repeatedly during the build..

[Azrael]

Jon, and weasle, cheers for the ideas on the tank but i have a picture in my head how i want this to look and its slowly coming together just how it is in my brain.. for better or worse i like it:)

Righto chaps, bit of an update on the build..

Today has been a good day, I finished the bulk of the fabrication onthe rear cowl and Tan went for her first bike lesson today inthe rain and loved it, which means i need to pull finger onthe cafe racer too..hmm. anyhoo..after a fair bit of staring and some beer, i did this..

Next step is building the swingarm and scavenging through motorcycle masters for some bits so Moz (Oh thats nuffin, my mate...:D), im coming to fossick through your stuff..please..

[CBRRRT]

Lookin good Tom, itchin to see what you are gonna do with the swing arm mate, coz if its like the rest of the bike its gonna have a real wow factor.

I love stuff like this that really pushes the envelope mate. Most of the stuff you see nowerdays you just know whats gonna happen next, but this is so one off, its anyones guess.

Privileged to see it evolve mate.

[Azrael]

I had an interesting day today..
Went to see morry (rockhard) at Motorcycle masters to find a suitable swing arm to chop parts out for my swingarm project for this bike. Moz was, as always, bloody awesome and sent me away with a swinga to fit and measure and based on my limited explanation as to what i was looking for he was bloody close. Then when it didnt suit my purpose i returned with his and my swinga for a proper match interupting his day for the second time and he still smiled and sent me away with the right part, ironically (ill get to the irony later) a 99 busa swingarm.. So thanks Morry, you and your collegues are a fucking champions and this weekend the beers are on me!

The next awesome thing to happen was stumbling across a pallet bike at a mates, an insurance recovery 99 busa... oh yes, the unrestricted one.. and it has apparently less than 3k on the clock.. picking it up in the morning and will post picks 2moro night.. 15hunge..ohhhyeah..

I cant stop grinning like a fucking idiot now, thanks again Morry and Chris, without people like you regular people would never be able to afford the luxury of bike building on limited funds. Props to both of you..

[hyofighter]

hey tom i had not read through this build yet for some reason , but fark me thats mad , love your work

[Azrael]

Cheers scotty, theres been a bit of debate through these pages as to the reach to the bars so i thought id put on some bars and post up a seated pick.. those bars are rolled forward in the same way i set my bars on my dirtbikes and its still comfy. I think ill put the busa front end on it which will lower it and therefore the bar height whichwill be a bit more comfy..

And heres a picture

still no tits posts strange.

[Gix11]

That looks great Tom. I so want to see this one finished as it's truly unique.

[CBRRRT]

That photo gives the bike much more perspective and it all makes sence now. Its gonna look a dog when its done mate, a big nasty vicious dog. Get a move on Tom, cant wait to see it finished matey.

Oh and you look alot like that guy Joe Martin of the martin brothers from the biker build off on the telly. You aint are ya?
