Rod, you want to see where morry works mate, my lotto dream involves parking a trailer home behind mcm and spending my days fossicking through their wares..

[rock hard]

Hey Rod,yeah mate the forks ,frame wheels all bent but the frame is steel,very easy to straighten.and Tom i live that dream every day,except that bit bout the lotto win and the trailer,remember Bullfrogs dream job was to be a motorcycle mechanic.im building this bike as a tribute to him...morry

[BANDITROD]

Good stuff

[rock hard]

Hey Rod,this bike is a stat rite off, so its gonna be a drag bike ,its going to be lowered and hopefully long and PHAT.oh and fuckin loud..

[Azrael]

Fuck Moz[:p] i rekon we gotta cut, stretch and underbrace that swinga, i mean its a tribute to Jeremy its gotta have much attitude and be truly diabolic[}:)] Cant wait to chop that swinger, u want a subby made for it??:D

[Azrael]

just a couple of bits to add to the mix..

[rock hard]

Hi Amanda

[Bullfrog]

Moz I'm not seeing enough Black :) Please pass on my sympathies to Toni, I know she must be feeling like the other woman everytime she sees you come home with another part.

[rock hard]

it will be black with a bit of spice,toni is fine she says the shed smells of high levels of testosterone so im pretty safe.so good to hear from you..be well amanda..

[DaveK5]

go hard rock hard[8D]

[rock hard]

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr249/rockhard_photos/1245429836.jpg

stripped need to get the forks straightened.then the frame straightened.fabricate the subframe.need to get moving

[rock hard]

its 4.10am i cant sleep.last nite i went up to Forbes and Mills Engineering.my Gsx14 was in the frame jig and neil anderson has a sly grin on his face,he tells me the steering head is Straight.WOO HOO,we only need straighten the shock mounts.ive had to replace the entire front end as the forks and triple clamps were beyond repair,so i grafted a Gsxr750 wp pressed the 1400 stem in and with a bit of jiggling got the front wheel discs and 6 piston brakes of the 14 to fit.im starting to get pumped! the drag season starts in 3 fuckn weeks, ive got a million things to do.photos soon...

[Elapid]

Top stuff Morry. I can't wait to see this one finished.
Kris

[Cruisecontrol]

Nice use of postie bike parts...:D

[timbo]

Three weeks that nothing mate you'll shit it in
looking good btw [^]

[Fight_fan]

She'l b hard as rocks mate! Look forward to seein it...

[rock hard]

Thanks lads,ill get some photos of the bike in the frame jig its an impressive piece of kit.you guys dont miss a thing..that box is the secret weapon..hey si,i actually spoke to the previous owner.he is pretty busted up,he told me that he had spent $8k on the engine with phil tainton .its the same spec as Rapids "Mr muscle" all will be revealed soon.

[Gix11]

Did he just overcook it Morry or was he dicking about when it went pear shaped? I can't work out how the wheel ended up in half.

Looking forward to this one mat;, s'gonna be great!

[rock hard]

Hey Si,He is a very decent bloke.He told me that he wasnt a fast rider and he was out riding with a bunch of his mates on sport bikes trying to keep up( im sure we can all relate)was riding faster than he was comfortable came over the brow of a hill missed the next bend ran onto our famous west aussie red pea gravel and last thing he remembers is the bike flipping over a fence.from the damage its bounced on both ends the tail copped most of it, the forks and the bottom clamp are bent in three different planes.But the strange thing is the front wheel is straight and best of all the steering head even the tank is fairly good.i bought the bike not knowing anything about the engine.if i told you who told me to "get this bike"you might not believe it.but this bike drives me to strive a build the best tribute to a man who we all dearly miss everyday...see you mate..

[Hagarr]

[hyofighter]

just my 2 cents but as a tribute bike to jeremy id like to see the same headlight he had i think it was the inexcusable v rod one , but your bike do what you want , but it looks horn at the moment thats for sure nice work moz

[rock hard]

Here it is the first mock up of the bullfrog tribute bike.just trying a couple of ideas ..came back from the frame straightener at Forbes and Mills,il try and do a proper series of photos

[timbo]

[rock hard]

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr249/rockhard_photos/1251691452.jpg
Rocket and i,did a little fabricating sat morning at work he sorted the front end i tacked this seat frame up

[rock hard]

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/rr249/rockhard_photos/1251730458.jpg

got the seat mounted,so much to do the Ikon shocks should be here this week 290mm length down from 330mm

[Rocket]

At first i was dubious about the idea of a Prilla tail but it really looks good. Especially with the back wheel hanging out of it by a few inches.
The fairing will probably look okay too.
I for one am looking forward to swinging a leg over this big banger.

[rock hard]

always welcome big fella

[hyofighter]

nice work guys

[Jockney Rebel]

[rock hard]

Well today got a fair bit done on the tribute bike,subframe all tig welded by the BillyWizz top job. Rocket helped into tonite. he sorted the instrument mounts and the fairing mock up. i got the wiring harness in and sorted the battery tray, painted the sub frame and mounted the tail properly.its getting there ,but i just want to say that with mates like i have its truly awesome to be in the shed talking shit and working on the bikes.life doesnt get any better..

[DaveK5]

Is this the same bike...

[sharky]

"The bike was a write off, and was sold at auction in Perth in March sometime. If anyone in Perth reads this and knows who bought it (RED and BLACK)...or where it is please let me know. Chris has never seen the bike since the crash and would like to know where it is."
Found this on the site.. Maybe Des can let him know the bikes future. Might cheer him up to know its gone to a good home/cause

[suxukifreak]

Just sent him a PM through the 14 site.

[rock hard]

Hey lads,thanks for that .ive already spoke to chris a couple of times,he does indeed seem like a nice bloke,hes pretty banged up but at least he is still here.i bought the bike a couple of weeks before i knew about the engine, chris said he will try to get down to the drags when the bike is finished...all, the best...morry

[rock hard]

cut the sump,relocate the pick up and install a oil dam.

[BANDITROD]

awsome morry for a minute there i thought it had been smashed in the stack

[Rocket]

Mozzy called round with some spacers for the rear wheel conversion and also the chopped down sump to mill it off flat.

Here he is milling some air...

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1252807851.jpg


Then it was time to get serious and fuck something up that was important and expensive to replace.

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1252809265.jpg


To both our surprise, it came off the mill just how he wanted it.
No holes in the wrong spots and no bits flying across the shed and into my car.
Which was nice.

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1252780475.jpg

[rock hard]

thanks again Rocket,im really pleased with the result i was shitting more milling the sump than when i cut it with the air saw.plenty of work still to be done but without the help of a few mates o moyine.i would be months behind not days.

Top stuff Morry.

[Large]

You going to add ears to the sump to increase the oil capacity?

[rock hard]

Hey Large.no ears just trying to get the ride height as low as practicle,im sure ive only lost about 1/2 a litre in capasity building a sidewinder style exhaust next week,Btw howz the spondon going..see ya

[rock hard]

Jeremy was rite the airbox is a bastard to get in and out.got the throttle bodies in most of the wiring done just go to get it finished by the end of the month.

[turbogsx]

The 1400 airbox is a fucker to get in and out. I got so pissed off while trying to pull mine out I just cut it up with an Stanley knife and threw it in the bin.

[Hagarr]

Sounds good to me :D

[jakelive]
