Jim's CB900 "start of my build"

[Jockney Rebel]

rev limiters fo course the only rev limiter on my bike is made by the "Bang! Co of china and cuts in just as the engine self destructs

[Jockney Rebel]

wellll ...its all together brake lines done, [funny aint it ive made up a few lines in the last couple of weeks and forgot to do mine !], major dramas with the tank tho its in primer for the third time ....,ive airbrushed the tail but looks like i wont have time to do the tank ,and as its got ..lumps i dont really wanna.
aftr the afr im gonna get the base colour done by "someone who knows what their doing ".
front guard is horrendous as well[repco sold me some acrylic that is SHITE..comes out like water full of airbubbles ]..im seriuosly fed up with rubbing down bloody paint...
so ill polish whats there clear coat it and wait till my seat units made then take the lot to a good painter for some pukka paint..
it runs .its all good it makes all the right noises but..as i STILL AINT GOT ME SEAT BACK YET MR UPHOLSTERER.
i havent actually ridden it yet ,
the tachos a bit optimistic according to the suzy tacho my bike revs right up to 13 grand ..and i know it doesnt [not without blowing up ].
pics will follow

hey Jim, looks better in the light. love the tail lights. Cant see the graphics though. still up for a ride to Mt White thursday arvo?
Phill

[Jockney Rebel]

yep ..its a bit hesitant so im gonna clean the carbs tonight and the filters ..but it handles well enuf

[Jockney Rebel]

im nackered...........carbs wouldnt stop floodin first it was no1..then that went ok then no2 started overflowin then 3 ..and the front guard got eaten by the front wheel oops..its been modified now..

phill ill meet u somewher near kariong this arvo bout 5ish i still gotta fit the front guard and the pods just wanna run it down the road for a test to see if its really floodin or what

[damo1]

When the carbs are in place and the fuel is running out of them give the float bowls
a wack with the handle of a screw driver.

Because youve had the carbs out the floats go all the way down and get stuck in that position
I used to have the same trouble with my race bike every time i re fueled it after a time sitting around
and it also was a rooler door so it works a treat.;)

[alfiestorm]

Enjoy the ride and your bike on the way to the AFR Jim and mrs Jim have a few Irish whiskEy's:D for me will ya:)

[Gix11]

Nice work Jim. You're another bloke who I only saw when I was pissed and when we both had beer around and no bikes. I meant to tell you I liked the bike mate. The wheel conversion really makes it.

ta mate dissappointed with the paint but it really handles now.. 2 up with luggage and very small wanker lines on the rear tyre ..
me wife wants to know if she was the only girl who made it all the way on a bike ?:D

[Gix11]

No, sasha made it all the way from Brisbane on the back of Tony's Busa.

[Jockney Rebel]

right fair dos ...missus reckons me seats too small.....but thats all!!!!!

[gtrman]

bike looks cool man [8D], got many other plans for it?

[NakedTurboBusa]

The racetech rear springs look sweet nice job!

Pete

[Jockney Rebel]

cheers guys ....needs a decent far out paint job{which i may be getting cheap as the cars is getting some ins work done fingers crossed] and a ally swing arm, cb1100r tail and ..dont laff.. some fcr carbs or equivalent according to the cb1100 site these carbs are the dogs for the old bol dors:D

[Jockney Rebel]

im going to aim for one of these looks ..more or less waddya reckon either http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/18178824144433.jpg

[Jockney Rebel]

orr ............http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/18178824154372.jpg

[shift1313]

i like a cross between the two. I dont like the tail on the second one, its too bulky, but the second bike definately looks more muscular. The black one is super clean, classic lines, love the spoked wheels but it needs lower bars. im still out on the tail on that one as well.man those vfr rims are nice, i love 5spoke wheels.

second ones an 1100motor isnt it?

[shift1313]

looking at the second bike a bit more, if you just got the seat and seat cowl from the cb1100r and not used any of the rest of the tail it would look pretty trick. that back is just too thick without a fairing or upper on it somewhere.

[damo1]

There both very nice [:0]

Id go the bottom bike but ive got a soft spot for 1100r,s[:p]

Either way you go there,ll look sweet mate;)

[Jockney Rebel]

yeah the second one is an 1100 and i do like the clean lines of the first one i think that the bulges for the shocks make the seat unit look big if i could get round that itd slim the rear down a bit
im definately going for a twin shock ally swing arm....in a nutshell i reckon the bottom one has the most appeal for me with a few mods ...but i do like them spoked wheels there different and really old school

[HueyonaBlade]

Is it possible to fab up some mounts to have a mono shock? Prob solved:D

[Jockney Rebel]

huey if i can get rid of the spaghetti under the seat and put it in the tail i got plenty of room for a mono...
but i do like the twin set up ..

[Jockney Rebel]

maybe even somethin like this:Dhttp://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/39071839644015.jpg

[zx12argh]

I like my bikes like my women - black big 'n fat.[8D]
Go a combo of the first and second one...

[Jockney Rebel]

right just aquired some of the stuff for .....Stage two of the boldozer build
the classic pug speedfight front[15 quid from good old blighty]
new headers[49 bucks] and RS3 can which im attempting to shorten[150]
some real bling little italian mirrors stolen from a guy on evilbay for 10 buks all ally too
a box section swing arm [free]
and im having a go at turning some angel eyes[ta seifer for the info] into some wiked rear lights and winkers[$4 for the solid plastic rod and 30 buks for the leds and resistors]
stock airbox is back on and she runs much better ,clutch is fried unfortunatly [thatll teach me to put detergent oil in my bike ]but its just the friction plates

[Jockney Rebel]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/48485119019422.jpg
the front for the dozer gonna fil the "V" with some smoked acrylic

[Jockney Rebel]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/48485119031335.jpg
and hers the little mirrors cute eh:D

[alfiestorm]

I reckon the 1100r with the black ones body work and that speedfight front you got would look the absolute mutz nutz jim.

Do you remember those chrome plates that used to go on the side of the cylinders they got nick named toast racks, I think that pic of the 1100r has them. If ya find any on ya meanderings weather they be for a cb,gs or z grab e'm for me or let me know would ya, ta.

stu

[Jockney Rebel]

will do alfie ....and the madness continues.....................................'mad ness ..madness they call it madness':D

[Iceman]

Shit Jim, it'll be like have'n a new bike when you get it all done.

[Jockney Rebel]

got most of the stuff from vic[ just waitin for a parcel from london] today and ill be startin to put in in/on over the next couple of weeks ..but first we have to get phills swing arm sorted

[Jockney Rebel]

spent this weekend in me garage [basically cos it was warmer than the house weve got no electricity the wind and rain done stole it ] and ive nearly completed the ceebees facelift[ will post pics soon ] it has new custom rear indicators [made by me], angel eyes also made by me, a speedfight front with a projector headlamp,and i got me yoshi can and new headers ......to be continued

[damo1]

1100R tank[?][?][?]:(

What the fuck is the story:(

Dont tell me you gave up on it [:0]

If so thats fuckn soft as mate:D

Get the fucker sorted and back on there it looks heaps better with that big mean muther fucker instead of that shit coffin looking thing;)

Sorry just my opinion:)not that that means fuck all;)

[Jockney Rebel]

nah its away getting redone mate along with the sidepanels and tail proper sprayjob by a BMW painter that tank's a cheapie i bought just to keep the bike on the road :}

[damo1]

;)

[Jockney Rebel]

unfortunately i appear to have blown a head gasket
i think this due to the fact my left boot is now totally waterproof and i now own a very heavy 450cc twin ill find out on sun when i test her

[Jockney Rebel]

..right then heads off the old engine and its ..well bad really No 3 piston looks like its been dipped in acid[V] and the head where the gasket meets is worn too but strangley enough the other 3 pots look ok
the exhaust cams knackered and so's the journals,[V]
Bought another engine for 400 sovs which apprently has a good top end.... got that on sun last ... when it arrived it looked like some gorilla hd taken the stator off with a crowbar !! [big digs out of the cases ]
i did a compression test on it [after bolting it down to a frame i made] and i got 25 psi across the board not really inspiring considering the factory reckons 170 psi is the norm but i wont know the score till i get the top end down.
could be just gummed up rings ..or more bent valves..
to be fair the bloke from the wreckers ,whos pretty decent, said that if the heads junk he ll sort me something else out
..im starting to think along the lines of an engine swop ..maybe a cbx 750 lump , or something from an aircooled kwak or suzi
id welcome any[ sensible] suggestions:D

[evad]

Hey Jim, how about Ozkat's gsxr motor?;)

[Jockney Rebel]

good call dave ,id love it but cant afford it right now and i dont think the baldy whores frame would stomach it plus i really want to stick with a air cooled motor if at all possible but it would make the old girl fly

[Jockney Rebel]

dave im gonna finish this engine run it till it blows up and fit a gsxr 750 lump in her ..so if theres anyone who ,in the next 6 months or so will be getting shot of a good running gixer 750 lump plus carbs plus rad plus anything else ill need to get it running ill be interested

[evad]

Sounds good Jim, hows the enthusiasm going with the Triumph standing there looking at you? lol:DHave you located the parts that you need?
I was looking on this site http://cb1100f.net/ there is a post on fitting a turbo to one and apparently they recon that even Std the rods are week as and the mill is pretty weak.If you dont have the parts already it might be a good idea to just score the Gixxer motor straight off.
Have a look at this thread:-
http://cb1100f.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=30423

[alfiestorm]

or a gixxer 1100 lump in the baldy whore when the honda engine shits it's self but you do realise that sod law dictates that the baldy engine will defy all reasoning and keep going even with total neglet just like the old cd175's they were bastards to kill

[gibbo]

Hey Franky, I am looking into buying a damaged bandit with the view of banging the motor into my slingy (750), just trying to work out the numbers, what would you be prepared to pay for a complete 750?

[Jockney Rebel]

dunno gibbo[ christ another bike in the garage ] depends on the finances as always... why what u have in mind ?
if ur on about going dutch on a bike and sharing the parts i may well be into that

Alf u know uve just jinxed this now if it dont blow up this lump... how am i going convince the treasurer that [yet] another engine is neccesary ?

Dave if i turboed this the first thing over the line would be me closely followed by several used Honda parts ive got 2 engines in bits on the bench i know these engines were pretty grenade-like when they were new ..now the youngest ones are 27 years old so im gonna have to find an engine that will give me
1.. 100BHP stock
2 fit in the frame without looking too wierd
3 be common enuf to be able to get bits for
4 and reliable
ive started to build up one good engine out of the bits [various] in fact just tonight i started lappin the exhaust valves in
and i went for a blat on the trumpy to see Dazz earlier im on call from tommorrow so ill be stuck indoors all weekend so i should get the 900s engine mostly back together by sunday

[sharky]

Once I find a 1200 motor mate my 11 will be available..You've got first call on it.

[Jockney Rebel]

nice one russ ill be into that as my first choice [keeps it old skool lookin]....ur on mate
