here it is. a "little" rough at the moment, and unfortunately it'll probably stay that way for a while cause money and time say so:( and i think i'm gonna be a heretic an keep that stock front fairing. i like it like that without the other bits of crap around the engine[:p]dunno how i'll get flat bars on it, guess i'll just have to use the clipons for the mo. MX bars would be more comfortable and probably easier for me to use.[:o)]need some bits here and there so it can become my daily rider, then i'll think about what i want it to look like.

[Gix11]

You can add flat bars to that mate but you'll need some cut aways in the fairing if you want to keep it. Seen it done many times.

[Razorback]

1000 motor fits nicely too :D

it's a 1975? cb360g. dyou want it? as you can see it is doing nothing useful in my garage. pity its a honda though[V]

[pt]

yeah the tail is rather....large. but i've got other things to sort out before i start doing the tail. i only intended it to be a strip off the fairings stick on a headlight and bars job anyway.:)

[devo]

I be interested Thar me Matey. ;)

[jakam04]

PT. did you get your headlight from Ebay? or elsewhere?

Jarrod

[pt]

yep i surely did. its this one

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Wicked-dirtbike-streetfighter-universal-headlight-NEW_W0QQitemZ270044624910QQihZ017QQcategoryZ29705Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

not the best quality of course, but it does the job for the moment:)

[jakam04]

Yeah pete, saw one today. I actually dropped into the sellers address and saw that he has a lot more to offer us in the way of cheap gear including fatbars, indicators, risers etc. Am in middle of finding what you guys might be interested in and will organise discounted prices.. may not be top quality like austreetfighter store, but for people on a viscious budget it helps get the basics till better can be afforded.

Jarrod

[pt]

excellent. he was easy to deal with on ebay and sometimes pops up with some OK stuff, was wondering whether he had a little stash. keep us posted!:)

[jakam04]

If you go to the following site. this is where he gets his stuff from. If you see anything you like, drop me a line and I will endeavour to get you a price.

send all your input, good or bad. oh and is the headlight any good? up down, bin? it's one of the ones alfie had.

[Jockney Rebel]

paint it matt, black polish the fuk out of the frame and pull the wiring up out thru the bottom of the tank

[Jockney Rebel]

i tellu what pete if ur gonna keep that light ive got an idea ..to hide ur loom ..ive got the old tailpeice from the boldor i used to have.. if u were to up end it and stick the bit where the seat would go to the top of ur lamp the flicked up bit of the tail would frame ur clocks nice i reckon [and it would be free for the postage]

[Jockney Rebel]

i think im drinking too much coffee ....

mate that would be awesome! send me you details and i'll send across a few bucks. should hide the clocks and maybe give me something to hide some wiring behind.


custom tail coming over summer i hope, can't mod the subframe (no skillllllz:() but will crack out the fibreglass[8D]

[zaraloc]

Hey Frankbiker, what is black polish?
I just went to the trouble of painting mine matt and it scratches off sooo easy
Cheers

[pt]

thought i should update this thread. for the unlucky few who have seen my bike it has finally gone mostly one decent colour. apart from the shit spraying ability of myself, i reckon it looks half alright :)

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/46584306063858.jpg


and all a couple of weeks late for AFR. awesome:(

and i'm sure people will see parts they have sold or given me on there. your beers are waiting at AFR09[B)]

PS: note the garage is slightly tidier than the last photos[:p]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/11028752997758.jpg

and while i'm at it, anyone know where i can get hold of one of those rectangular single headlights like on the bike in the pic above? i have another project on the go for the headlight and i'm starting to think a single would look better than the double on there ATM.


which reminds me, Ben if you read this, have you still got those projector beam lights in stock? if yes expect an order soon:)

[Bear]

Those rectangular lights are commonly used on dirt bikes for safari treks and desert races etc. Dirt Bike suppliers may be the go.

Honda XR600's had them as standard too so you could dig one up from a wrecker.

[Hillsy]

I had a GPZ900 headlight on my old GSX750. It was a bit bigger than the dirt bike ones, but heaps brighter.
