Nother Newbie...this things catchin on

[kartras]

HI guys,

Karl here from sunshine coast qld. Always been into the streetfighters tingy since the backpage on Performance Bikes years ago back home in Ireland and soon moved onto drooling over the fighters in Streetfighters mag. Had an ole Z400 that got me tinkering and bought a 93 gsxr750 wp 3 years back with the intention of a project but ive been havin too much fun on it to take it off the road[^]
Anyway I think its time ...ive psyched myself up so Hopefully i can take it off the road for a while and let the madness begin.

So beware hopefully this AusPaddy will be annoying you guys with Q's until I get my ride right.By the way im open to ideas from u guys if ya wanna pass em on.

catch ya soon

Engineers to do work for you you mean? If that's the case give Shaun a bell at Pommy Choppers. He's up your way: www.pommychoppers.com

Welcome to the madness Karl! Good to see your daughter's got the bug too

Welcome from a fellow Paddy. Just joined myself and already a warm welcome, great bunch of guys. Thanks for the flashback on Performance Bikes mag I remember a black and orange fighter (may have been a Harris) in the back page of the mag in the 80s but I thought it was bike magazine (probably explains why I can't find it).
Cheers,
Owen

Well here's a bike you Paddy's will remember from PB then:

Welcome aboard mate. Standard line but i dont have mutch of an imagination. Thats why i'm here looking for inspiration.

[scotty]

Welcome mate,
U are gunna have to start by crashing. Or just pull all the plastic of, but generally crashing gets it of[8D]

[SKS]

G'day Kartras

i dont think i can say welcome here as i'm a newbeee to. but saw you are on the sunny coast to. where are you, i'm in the hills behind yandina. i can also vouch for Shaun at pommychoppers. i'v seen his work here and in england and he has my bike (pile of parts) at the moment about to make a 1 off frame for it.

[kartras]

ah your all makin me feel very welcome. like a wee home away from home.

well i may well have to crash the bike so i can get my finger out of my ass and do the work i want to.a few ideas bangin around the ole bonce but i just dont want to take the bike off the road yet still havin too much fun.

i may just have to buy another bike so i can keep one on the road at all times....dont tell the missus i said that

[chopiesel]

welcome!

[wackyrider]

Welcome aboard mate.

just start by taking one piece off....

you wont be able to stop

[SKS]

how about just a top yoke conversion and renthals first. that way you'll get a nicer ride and quicker steering. quick and easy.

[dingo]

welcome Karl :D

few weeks on this site and you will find you have woken up one morning to see while you were sleeping you mysteriously hovered above the ground into the shed, stripped your bike and turned it into a beast ;)

Welcome to the funzone Karl.

[kartras]

well another kiddy and a few financial woes later I have eventually finally after much contemplation and the operation to remove my finger from my large ass gotten round to ordering my top yoke for my bars;). Hopefully this will be the start of many evenings in the shed .

I'll be back

[RevHead]

Welcome back, Ive fightered a 1100w as well great bike

[DCRacing]

Mate time shouldn't be a worry to you, just look at it as a way of getting better bits for the bike, i got a shed load of bits but no time to put them all together :(

[stiffsimon]

Sorry to Hi jack this thread but is Steve Burns resurrecting the Monster ? :)

[Gix11]

Resurrecting? It's still in fine condition in Perth as far as I'm aware?

[bluedrags]

Welcome aboard and have fun building your fighter as I was just going to put bars on myself now I am doing a complete rebuild and learning things as I go.
So enjoy.

[kartras]

well my fatbars arrived and just waitin on the top yoke .shouldn't be too much longer I hope.

anyone know what I have to do to get a single seater rego in QLD for the ole suzi (tryin to keep my yearly costs down...damn gfc) .

I have a single seat cowl and the rear pegs off. do i need to fill the holes used to mount the rear pegs? or is just havin the pegs off enough?

Cheers
