He doesn't move very much, Only when he's hungry

[RED ZX]

poor cat.

I am guessing by the air intake that it is an L1? 93 model?

Yep, L1 - 93

[KATO ZX7]

So, whats the plan??

Is this a long term project or just a quik fix up and still ride?? ;)

[Jed]

Pretty much a budget job to start with. Give it a tidy up, put some bars, headlights, and dash on. I use the bike to commute to work, so need to get it back on the road.

Once it's up and running again I will do bits and pieces as time and money permit.

I'm looking forward to getting into it and ordering some bits.

[RED ZX]

I think you need to paint the rad' and maybe clean up then wrap the exhaust until just past the collector. Will clean up the look dramatically.

[Jed]

Was going to paint the Rad this week. I wasn't sure whether to clean up the headers and paint - or to wrap them[?]

[Jed]

Bit more progress

Painted the Radiator last night

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/512082096102135.JPG

[Jed]

This is how it sits in the shed now

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/512082241102141.JPG

[Jed]

And these are going to the sandblaster tomorrow

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/51208224176022.JPG

[timbo]

Keep up the good work mate

[BANDITROD]

lookin good mate even for a @#^%&$ i am not allowed to hang shit on them anymore

[oldskool]

Will do mate

[RED ZX]

What theme are you going for?

I would paint the pipes matte black, then wrap them to the collector, OR ceramic coat them to keep them looking shiny.

Why do you have pictures of naked DUDE'S hanging up ?
Looks good so far, are you going to change the tail or have you got it off for a paint?

[TurboKat]

Hey Jed, I've got a stainless Muzzy 4 into 1 system for a ZXR L for sale, bigger bore headers than stock & less than half the weight of the original system, headers are in perfect condition just need a polish, the link pipe has a couple of minor dings in it & a round section alloy Muzzy muffler.
$250 if you're interested.
I'll post a pic in a couple of days if you're interested (the system is on my racebike at the moment & it's at my mates place)

Firstly, the naked dude is a BBQ apron I was given as a secret santa present.

The tail is off just so I could get in everywhere to give it a clean up. I will be keeping the original for a while - I may change it down the track.

TK - I would love to get a hold of your headers, but am on a bit of a budget at the moment. Thanks for the offer though.

I'm still undecided whether to just paint the headers black, or get them wrapped once they have been sandblasted. Anyone here have any pics of bikes with the headers wrapped[?] Also,I am going to give the can a bit of a chop / shorten.

[Jed]

Big thanks to Ben from Extreme Creations.:D

Ordered my Acewell yesterday. Had it in the mail this morning. Couldn't ask for more than that, Thanks Mate.:)

[Jed]

These came back from the sandblasters yesterday and sprayed them last night

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/104017802266236.JPG

[Jed]

Headers back on - and also painted some engine covers.:D

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/104017802297742.jpg

[Jed]

Now with the radiator back on.

This is as far as I'm up to at the moment.

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/1040178022102407.JPG

[Jed]

I have a dilema.

I have taken the top triple clamp off, but have no idea how to take the ignition off the triple clamp:(

It is attached to the bottom of the T/Clamp with some sort of bolts/screws that have no head on them. WTF.

Confused - Jed [V]

[Large]

I'm pretty sure you have to drill them out - It's a security thing.

[timbo]

Yer mate they have to be drilled. There a torque bolt so when you fit a new barrel the head snaps off when they are at the right torque for security. I take it your relocating your barrel. If so where are you going to put it?

[Jed]

No, not relocating - I needed it off to get some work done on the triple clamp for the risers & bars. I may have to just unplug it and do the work with it attached.

I have one more [?] Timbo - where and how do I attach my Acewell dash. I don't think I am going to be able to use the bracket that came with it. Might have to make one up.

[Fish]

You may find it's a TORX bolt, the bit for them looks like this:
http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/1040180353399747.jpg

If it is go down to you local hardwear store and pick one up, the ones on my suzukis were a T40 size. they're held with loctite so don't try to use the bit in your drill like i did cuase the drill will shit it self. Get an adapter to use it with your socket set.

Hope this may help.

[timbo]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/17538074550852.JPG

I relocated my ignition barrel and cut off the loop that goes around it and mounted the Asewell nice and center.
I was able to use the supplied mount with a small plate welded across the base. I had to drill and tap two holes in the triple and bingo bango 1 mounted Asewell ;)

They are what a heap of people I talk to refer to as "head shear bolts"

As Large and timbo said, the heads are snapped off them, so you cannot undo them. Just takes alot of drilling and they will come.

Sound like I may be beter off leaving it on and working around it[8D]

post a pic of the bolt mate. the kwaka ones may be different but the Suzuki ones are definatly do-able cause I've done them.

I have had a closer look at them, and am pretty sure they are what RedZX said. They look as though they have been snapped off. I would like to leave the ignition where it is. So will try to do what I need with it still attached. If I can't I'll drill them out.

Cheers, Jed

[RED ZX]

If you get the right drill bit for it, its not that bad. Probably need 2 bits, one small one to get a pilot hole, then one about the size of the gold/silver part in the middle.

Get bits designed for drilling hi-tensile steel and you will be fine.

[Jed]

Bit more progress. Didn't have to drill the ignition out.;)

This is probably a really stupid question.

But, Does your break and clutch reservoir need to be higher than the brake and clutch levers [?]

otherwise you get air in the system

[timbo]

Yes mate they do. I had my reservoirs lower that the master cylinder and i had to bleed the brakes every 4 or 5 rides.
They had heaps of bite but the leaver would end up on the grips
so i replaced them with some from Obtain accessories for 125$ each.
If you pm Banditrod he may just be able to hook you up with some for the right price.
So a birdie tells me lol

[BANDITROD]

pm sent jed and lol timbo

[Jed]

Dummied up a bracket for the Acewell dash today.

I think I will need to move the headlights up a bit higher too.

Slowly getting there. Having the wiring done this week as well

What do you think about where the dash is[?]

I was thinking if I have to move it, I can do it after I've got some different reservoirs, then I'll have some more room:D

[BANDITROD]

i would move the dash down to suit headlights not to far just so it mounts to the under side of the top clamp if you know what i mean mate and did you get my email at all keep an eye on that mob cos they sell those reservoirs fucking cheap and they look fuckin sweet

[timbo]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^like Rod said^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks, I did get your email. I just need to figure out what size I need.

Cheers, Jed

[ANARCHY]

Its a Kawasaki of cause it looks good.

[Fight_fan]

Keep a close eye on those headlight brackets too mate! I had a set snap on me on the way to Cooma, not cool!

Other than that, noice job man!

[Jed]

Progress Report.

Have been re-routing the wiring loom and connecting the Acewell and lights etc.

A huge thanks to the AngryPom. He is sorting out the spaghetti soup for me. Has done an excellent job and we should be able to fire it back up this week.

I look at wiring and my eyes start to glaze over and I get a sharp pain in my temple.

I'll post some more pics when it's back together.

Cheers, Jed

[Jed]

I need some advice

I am at the point where I am setting up the functions on the Acewell Dash. When inputing the wheel circumference, do I go buy the size of my Rim (17 inch) or by the circumference of the tyre[?][?]

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers, Jed

[TurboKat]

Circumference of the tyre.

[timbo]

Like Turbo said go by the tyre which should be about 23"

[Hillsy]

quote:Originally posted by timbo

You're thinking diameter - circumference should be around 70" (or approx 3.14 x the diameter :D)

I did mine by rolling the bike in the garage. I put a chalk mark on the floor when the valve was at the bottom, then rolled it 1 revolution and marked where the valve was at the bottom again and measured the distance. That's your wheels "true" circumference.

[Jed]

OK - I'm back on the road:) Still want to do some more - next shorten the can. It's so much fun to ride now. It's like having a new bike.

Yep - If I had have known how much fun it was going to be, I would have done it years ago. I'm hooked now:D

[TurboKat]

Bike looks tops Jed but you REALLY need to raise the fluid reservoirs so they're above the master cylinders otherwise one day you'll go for the brakes & there will only be an air bubble & no lever - just ask Timbo.

Yep - on the list of things to do. Thanks mate

[LKC73]

Very nice bike Jed! But if your not going to use the pillon seat, why not chop the rear end up a bit also! Go on, you know you want to[:p], you have already taken the rear pegs off the beast!

Once again, very nice job mate!

[Jed]

Rather than chop the rear of this one - I may look at one from a different bike down the track. I don't mind the look of the original rear for now.

I would like to get a hold of a belly pan though.

[RED ZX]

they do have a huge arse hey.

I recon a later model R6 tail would look tops.

[caotic]

looks good man the quackers are great, was my choice, but i got a yami instead. Zx7r next for sure

[HueyonaBlade]

What do you wrecken Jed [?]there should be a few of these around at the wreckers by now and I think that if you shortened it up a bit the tail fairing should fit nicely under the tank ;)
http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1243669314.jpg

[BANDITROD]

hey mate you need the 29mm ones mate if you loke i will try and get some for you all you need to do is pm me your qouta i.e how much you wanna spend and i will do the rest for ya

[CBRRRT]

Mate, stick a seat unit like Franks on it then go out and frighten all the old people and kids in your street.

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1243649931.jpg


Looking very nice so far Fella, keep up the good work.

[timbo]

Hey Jed the bike looks tops mate and if you like it now just wait until you fit the 900cc donk.
Go on you know you want to. 2nd gear power wheelies on the exit of corners are calling you to the dark side.

[rod185651]

<center>Nice job mate, have you seen the reservoirs on the B model ZX9Rs? That may be an option for you to consider.</center>

Jeez that's an old pic. I've been busy. Resprayed now, new headlight, also made a custom one off alloy belly pan that went on yesterday. I'll get some pics up soon.

[Jed]

Like i mentioned, have been busy. I'm happy with the look at the moment. Although I'm sure that I'll find some more things to do. Let me know your thoughts on what you guys think of the old Kwaka now.

Yeh thats a super duke headlight!
I think if u dropped ur headlight a few hundred inches it would look heaps better... Also, belly pan looks cool but the sides come up a little too high for my tastes. Too much plain surface area needs a little somethin extra IMO. The front of it looks awesome tho...

[nick76]

Nah,its a KTM690 Duke headlight.
I wanted one,saw one on eGay USA,and it was something like $600 complete!![:0][:0]
I still reckon its one of the nicest headlights out there!!

Thanks for your comments. I had been a bit undecided on the position of the headlight. I may drop it down this weekend and see how it looks.
