also wouldnt mind some opinions here.

im working on the tail as we speak. im between using a ysr/mini bike tail and molding it into the tank for a one piece design and layering completely in carbon fiber. or sticking with a bobbed tail and redoing it completely. getting some aluminum and doing a full custom subframe and seat. any opinions?

[the hooligan]

heres a pic of the headlight. i went from twin 3.5 blue foglights to a oval shaped clear light.

Ummmm wheres your number plate, dont you have to have one?
There was a GPX 250 on here a while ago done up with dirt bike gear and it looked fucking awesome, id do that...

[lurch]

Looks good already.

Couple of small suggestions: the subframe in the pics looks a bit "unfinished" IMO because it doesn't follow the lines of the seat but it sounds like your working on that already.

Seems you're going for a black out look, maybe colour match the sump and replace the rad overflow with a black bottle of some sort, similar to what quite a few have done on here. And lose that wallet chain before something gets tangled in the rear wheel :D

Just my thoughts, or you could just leave it as is and tell me to fuck off

[RED ZX]

love the bike.

i agree with lurch about the sump and coolant overflow.

[fimpBIKES]

mate, whats hanging out of your pocket? hope it cant get caught up [XX(]


she looks great though, like the headlight
perhaps some smaller gauges?

[_M_]

got to go the micro tail as it would fix up the flow of the cbr better than the abrupt finish that you have at the moment, got any photochoped with the proposed tail ??

[Gix11]

Well you all know what I'd do - Drag bars and risers.

[the hooligan]

thats my chain wallet, used a harley timing chain, lol.

thanks for some of the opinions guys. a few mods that are in the works are

1. the subframe, like i said, leaning towards a ysr tail
2. im probally gonna use a set of smaller koso gauges
3. wavy rotors front and rear are on order
4. ill either paint the overflow tank or get a black bottle
5. losing the car resonator for a carbon fiber shorty i made
6. hiding the coolant line/cap next

all in good time

[racecomp]

Get rid of the KFC strips.

[CBRRRT]

I think it would look cool and the gang with a German arse in the air tail, apart from that the bike looks awsome mate. Oh and loose the gay wallet chain mate, no really, loose it.

Mate, whats the point of owning a killa stealth bike like that, when that chain wallet will show up on the Police gaydar at 5 miles away.

LMARO.

haha, man you guys are really hating on my chain wallet.

well i took some pics today, i got it welded up and rewrapped it. looks and sounds great. i had an extra jardine sticker laying around so i threw it on. i weighed the complete exhaust system, header back was about 9lbs. not too bad.

i ordered a speedcell ss battery, 11ozs. will be the best weight drop yet.

im very happy with the look and sound, and its very light.

next is getting around to hiding the radiator cap and that line. i also wanna get a blacked out can for the overflow tank. i gotta run to the store and size up some tubing to run it inside above the engine.

[Loz]

One of the toughest looking fighters I've seen. Love the no-bullshit headlight.

[CBRRRT]

Rock hard mate!

[the hooligan]

btw, i just threw on a 520 kit on my buddies 2000 r6 this afternoon.

i dont know why, but not a fan of yamahas. ill stick with my hondas :D

[LKC73]

Nice looking bike man! Black is the way to go! also like the battery pack, maybe thats what I need for my cafe racer so I can hide the electrics in the tail.

[the hooligan]

it felt like christmas when the fedex truck got here this morning, lol. got my rear rotor and speedcell battery.

the weight difference was amazing. i dropped 7lbs just from switching the batteries out. also put the rear rotor on. now im waiting for the front rotors to come in.

[RED ZX]

still need to scrub those tyres in.

Those batteries are awesome.

[HOS]

I like that [:p]

Compact !!!

[the hooligan]

well ive had the bike in the garage for the week working on it. makes me want 2 bikes again, lol.

got my braking wavy rotors on. i ordered black but they sent me polished, i wasnt to thrilled but i waited so long, that i didnt want to ship them back.

i hid the radiator line. what a bitch. theres practically no room to work with the frame,valve cover, and air box in such a tight spot.
i bought a used f4i radiator which worked perfect, i used my 600rr fan, and fabbed up the new coolant lines with random 90 bends and whatever 1 inch aluminum i had. looks alot cleaner now.

all i need is to figure out what i wanna use for an overflow now.

plans for june are

1. smaller gauges, i like the mini moto and some of the kosos
2. stainless rear line and gcraft or crf450 master
3. get the tail done

as of now i just wanna ride the damn thing.

[CBRRRT]

Very nice mate, looking the dogs bollocks Fella. Could you paint the disk rotors and just leave a narrow ring where the pads make contact.

Ive also seen on 'Biker build off' a guy use a black heat wrap on his zorst. He soaked in in a bucket of water to expand it then pulled it on really tight. When it dried it shrunk back and went even tighter. He also said that stuff makes you itch and soaking it keeps the fibers from getting on your skin.

Keep up the good work bud, very impressive Fella.

[the hooligan]

ditched the overflow tank and capped it off. now you can see my shiny scotts oil filter. next is gauges, just have to decide which ones i want to use, looking at the acewells, kosos, and vapors.

[the hooligan]

also got a crf450r rear brake master on its way from egay, has a built in reservoir so i dont need the lil tube anymore. just need a rear stainless line thats gonna be the perfect length, either galfer or goodridge i suppose.

[sen]

Damn... that's pure fucking porn! I can't fault it..

[the hooligan]

working on getting my bike ready for fighter fest next week.

making a carbon fiber battery tray, going with black wrap for the exhaust, and trying to get some smaller gauges. heres a pic from yesterday :D
