looking good so far, keepp those pics comming as you progress

[Gix11]

That R6 unit is so much more trick than the 916 unit mate, it'll look great. When did the bike go black? Good to have you back again as well mate. I forgot to ask you last time you were around, the photo in the gallery has your bike next to a Bandit with PEST on the tank. Do you know the guys at Pest?

Keep us up to date with the progress mate.

[spart666]

ok subframe been put back together looks like im gonna have to put
the selonoids for the nos under that massive seat hump
which means more work [V]
sub frame back to the welder for solanoid plate nos brackets ect
and then start looking out for a seat maker
and dont even ask were im going to put the electrics:D

[03gixxerpilot]

looking good, whats the box on the subframe just behind the tank could be painfull to certian parts of the body!

[spart666]

YEA DONT I KNOW IT[:0]
ITS JUST TO HIDE ELECTRICS
BETTER COVERED THAT OPEN
ITS ALSO GOING TO GIVE PART OF THE BASE FOR THE SEAT UNIT
THE PLAN WILL BE THAT THE SEAT WILL BE MOULDED TO LOOK FINISHED
(OR COULD BE I HAVE CAST IRON BOLLOCKS)[}:)]

[Gix11]

I'm really interested to see how that tail unit shapes up mate. Also, is that a spondon swinger - standard GSXR replacement or what were the specs you asked for? .....and what sort of money did it cost you as I know they ain't cheap?

[spart666]

hi gix it aint a spondon its a pest engineered job as for price about £800 and that was a deal as we had two made at the same time the bandit and mine otherwise we were looking at 1200 as for the specs it was a spondon look i was after but not to spend the money
started to sort the elecs today so in about a fortnight sub should be finished and off to the painters and seat made

[Gix11]

I used to live in Cheltenham mate, years ago, and Mark Robbins was a mate of mine. He helped me with my ZX10/ZZR fighter when he was still Polygon Engineering, he joined up with another Mark and moved to Gloucester to become PEST. He used to be a good bloke and had a really tidy Z1, but after what you have said about them I guess he isn't the autority behind the PEST thing as you wouldn't have an issue with them otherwise. Did you deal with them in the store or via the phone? I only ask as I was wondering if Mark Robbins is still with them.

[spart666]

hi gix
mark robins was he the tall geezer 6.2plus if so as far as i remember he has gone it alone and yea a sorted bloke if its him il see if i can find out what hes doing
pest did some good stuff just some things piss you off like swing arm knoking off the brake side rear set, all the wiring finished in black wiring, secondry cooler welded to the subframe, torgue arm put on not true ripping out the thread due to the angle, front sprockrt nut coming off at the tt (scary)
the detail is what makes the differance the welding spot on
the ideas excellent the finish rushed.
did i complain no [:0]
whos to blame the company (not an individuall)
just puts you off all special builders and ive heard of a lot of horror stories, suppose the answer is do the detail yourself and get engineers to deal with the stuff that needs expertise which is were im at now[:p]

[hmmmnz]

just curious, but i see quite a few street fighters with the kicked up seats,
doesn't it hurt your balls?? mines bad enough just lifting the bike

[spart666]

lol i sit pretty much at the front of the seat
back end looks high once your on its fine
also the fact that my wife ripped off my balls once she found out how much the nos kit cost lol

[03gixxerpilot]

spart you realy must have balls of cast iron ( or no balls at all ) LOL

[Gix11]

Yea, that's him Spart. Tall bastard he was. I'd be interested to know what he's doing now so if you do find out let me know mate. Cheers.

[Gix11]

Now that is some trick work Al. The bottle poking through the tail I mean.

[Iceman]

That's sick. And I mean sick in a good way.

[pommie]

nice work you are one sick puppy, i have ordered the R6 tail for my buell so i will have my work cut out getting it to fit & look good, just wondering what sort of light your going to put on it?

[spart666]

cheers guys still got a long way to go
pommie on the lights got some leds from the usa
40 leds in a 6inch strip
going to cut the undertray and mount them flush (i hope0

[MDM]

Good going Al - looking forward to seeing it finished. You're one of two people I know using the R6 seat unit - a refreshing change frok the usual 916 / MV Agusta F4 seat units that the vast majority of Brit builders seem to use. Kind of annoys me really - there's all the nice seat units like the R6, Aprilia RSV (new type) GSX-R Thou K5, ZX-6 and they keep using bloody 916 seat![}:)]
Anyways, Mark Robbins has departed from PEST - no fall out he's still doing a few things with them, but now doing his own engineeinrg like he used to.

[fimpBIKES]

love the tank poking through,
sure it'll get a few double-takes :D

[WATEVR]

spart great looking looking job on the tail mate it looks sweet. i agree MDM there are some choice tails on some new bikes as u mentioned but not many people using them maybe its cause its the first thing that gets damaged when the weekend warriors flip em just after the lights!!! R6 tail is up there with a fav for me.

[Gix11]

Cheers for the Mark Robbins info Dave. If you see or hear from him get him on here so I can chase the bastard down again and give his business an advert!

[FIGHTERMC]

Nice work there spart and using the r6 tail is
the dogs mate.

[madmaxman1986]

Pretty bitchin' dude. Spindly, minimal bike. Looks pretty light, what's it weigh in at?
that's a 1200 gixxer right? what kind of kw you makin' or HP or whatever...
I want a gixxer now, so versitle!!

[ej03]

That looks great. How dose the local law enforcement react to the bottle
sticking up like that.

:D

How cool would it be to have your NO2 bottle disguised as R2...and make it traverse and make sounds like the "real" one. Could be a bit of fun at the lights.

P.S. Don't go overboard with those smileys Si;):)

[spart666]

right its back from the polishers
so its back on the bike time and get to work
on the wiring loom before xmas (not)
whilst ive been waiting ive painted out the headstock satin black to match the bike and managed to get the carb inlets off my 1100
so i can slap the 38mm carbs on the bandit 12 engine

This was how mine looked last yearhttp://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/295653439122205.jpg

Its changed considerable since and is changing again for 07, will start my own thread and leave Spart to it :D

[Gix11]

Nice Bandit Jim. Glad you joined us at last. Spart's been arounbd for a while and your bike has come up a few times. Welcome aboard mate.

[Cruisecontrol]

I would trade my first-born for that swingarm, Jim [:p]. She's a good kid, handy round the house...

[spart666]

HI ALL
BY THE WAY EXILE IS GAY JUST THOUGHT ID SHARE THAT
WILL UPDATE PICS SOON
HOWEVER THE FERKING ELECTRICS ARE GETTING IN THE WAY HAD IT ALL SORTED LAST WEEK
NEW REMOTE IGNITION MOD
GOT THE NOS KIT WIRED IN ALL WORKING NO PROBLEMS NICE ARMING SWITCH MOD BLA BLA BLA
POLISHED OUT ALL THE NOS FITTINGS
TAPED IT ALL UP LOST/BINNED HALF A WIRING LOOM LOOKS WELL ORGANISED NOW
READY FOR DYNO 2K IGNITION SOME TIME
SO STARTED THE BIKE ALL WORKING ARMING SWITCH DOING WHATS IT MENT TO HOWEVER WHILST IT WAS ON THOUGHT CHECK ALL THE SWITCH GEAR
WHEN THE SIDE LIGHT SWITCH IS ON BACK LIGHTS COME AS THERE MENT TO
WHEN I GO TO THE MAIN ON SWITCH HEADLIGHTS COME ON BACK LIGHTS GO OFF
SO WIRING LOOM STRIPPED DOWN AGAIN AND TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM
ANY IDEAS WOULD BE NICE GETTING HOLD OF A MULTIMETER TOMMOROW AND EXILE HAS JUST SHOWN ME HOW TO USE IT
SO FERKING PISSED OFF IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

[Gix11]

Mate, that happens to me with wiring everytime. It's bollox and will mess with your head. Luckily, a mate of mine (and ASF member) is an electrican and always fixes up my fuck ups. I'm just guessing the old wiring diamgrams might help.

you know it [}:)]
any way sorted now it was a wire snapped at the fuse box found it by luck i was looking at putting a bandit fusebox in there its smaller
and i had just hijacked it from exile dont ask me how it happened when all the work being done is at the front of the bike:(
by the way i think ive found you a phone no for mark robins
send me an email and il give it to you

[MDM]

Gix - if Spart doesn't get the number over to you I have Mr Robins number somewhere... ;)

[exile]

Spart...just because i met you and your gay lover Chevez at the Zanzy Bar, it doesn't mean i take it round the tradesmans :D

Fault finding on wiring looms aint Sparts strong point especialy when he trys to use his Jedi powers instead of a fuckin multimeter :D

[Gix11]

Any which way. It's all good by me.

[spart666]

hi guys quick update on how far ive got
eventually sorted out my electrics and carbs
but this is were im at. 2 weeks and should be finished
heres the pics

1.nos solonoid and foggers installed using nos flanges from tes
fuel pump monted behind solonoid

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/7394171472933.JPG


2.mounted arming switch, managed to hide the nos wiring in the hollow of the frame the relays hidden in the top brace also while i was at it got the rear shock reworked by setup engineering and got them to put on an orange spring to match the wheels and braided the lines

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/7394171463033.JPG


http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/7394171478555.JPG


3.redone all the wiring lost about half of it did a neat job however i think a dyna 2000 is definatly needed whilst i was at it mounted the ignitor under the seat smaller battery re did the coil wires and set up a remote ignition via my alarm

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/7394171464285.JPG


4.arming button looked crap started looking for a decent one and exile commented wouldent it look trick in the switch gear housing
good call mate 50p later

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/7394171453574.JPG


5.ok this is were im at making up a template for the seat this week and hopefully get it made
undertray needs to be modified to take the led lights and indicators time to play with the dremal
then off to the painters to finish it satin black
let you know how it goes;)

[spart666]

credit were its due however we did agree 2 heads are better than one
oops sorry that was your mrs

Hey Spart, I'm jsut in the process of mounting a similar headlight to yours, am I correct in thinking you have attached it to the top triple? How did you manage that?
