[timbo]

Maybe you could just wind down the window,or is that not proper stalking etiquette.

[BANDITROD]

i was getting to that timbo i was just testing him lol

[Gitzy]

Lol.. funnily enough I can't wind my drivers window down it packed it in week ago.. dammit... I've babied that thing for years and its falling apart around me.. stooopid holden..

[RevHead]

[Gitzy]

VX with manual wind up windows Pete.. :(

yes I said manual wind up.. [:0]

apparently someone didn't tick the power window box..

[RevHead]

poor toddy

[Swordsy]

Its easy to get the door inner off, find whats broken, then just drop into berro wreckers.

Or you could just open the door and hang the camera out [:p]

Yup I think there a little on the lumpy side meself Rod.. I never intended on having them under the bars, but whoa didn't they look like bunny ears on top.. i think they were $20, so not a great loss.. I'll end up getting some a little smaller soon.. I leave em there for now though..

mate, I tried the same with my Koso mirrors and the only prob was they were hitting the tank when on full lock no matter how far forward I put them. I'm actually thinking of putting the clip ons back on and getting a set of the cafe racer style end bar mirrors...


I like the look of them under your bars =]

[Gitzy]

All scrubbed up and clean ready for NFR10.. Doesn't clean up to bad the ol girl..

I tell ya if there wasn't so much orange peel and scuffs in my paint I'd be very tempted to keep it, it comes to life in the sun..

[Big Dan]

Well done mate she looks good your right about the paint[8D]

[Flukyluke]

Youre mate has done a superb job on the seats mate, I've been looking for someone in the uk to do my R1 seat pads but with something bladey on them.

[Lewis Moto]

Have you tried cutting compound on that paint?
If you can be arsed a wet sand, cutting compound and some good wax should fix the paint surface.
If you really get motivated wet sand with 1500 and another couple of coats of clear, cut and polish will have it sorted.

Nope miles of room.

[Gitzy]

Very minor update, I'm on holidays at the moment so in my boredom I went up to my workshop and finally knocked up a gauge bracket and did away with the discrete cable tie job I had before..

Apologies for crappy phone pics.

In the 3kms I had to ride to work it decided to flog down rain which sucked balls [}:)]

http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/8435/20111006155326.jpg

There is plenty of room in front of the triple and above the dominator lights

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9831/20111006154617.jpg

Nothing majorly fancy just some 30mm x 3mm flat bar and some 10mm roundbar, after a few little mockups it was a relatively quick and effective job.

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/4092/20111006154930.jpg

Cleaned it up, strung it up and gave it a coat of gloss black.

And on she went, held on conveniently by the right side bar riser clamp M12 bolt.

[Gitzy]

Even though the cable tie job I had on previously lasted both 2010 NFR and this years AFR, it was getting the better of me and had to make something a little more permanent.

I'm still deciding whether to ride the R1 or the TL ???? Fairly confident the R1's Supercorsas will be shredded by the time I finish the 1500kmish trip, so at least I can get full use out of them and obviously cos its a fighter.. But the TL is just so much fun :D

[fimpBIKES]

supercorsas will make the trip fine gitz
we'll weave all the lanes down the freeway :D

nice bracket work to, can hardly see it once its put together!

[rod185651]

Looks good mate, what was up with the old overflow bottle?

[Gitzy]

Cheers Rod, Nothing was actually wrong with it, Its just my hoses were too small for the holes in it and coolant sloshed up out of them and all over the side cases, easy wipe off clean just annoying..

This is only a temp fix for NFR, until I get hold of some little rubber grommety thingys to fill the void around the hoses..

I'm just going to drill some tighter holes in this alloy drink bottle and voila :D

Sorry it's been so long, i'm still work'in on my bike (lack of cash) has been slow but getting close now, i'll try and get some pics and post'em for ya.. cheers bud.

[Gitzy]

Just replacing the stuff that didn't make the change over with the forum..

I also bought some Oxford Luggage for NFR, magnetic tank bag and a tail bag, but to attach it you either need luggage tie down points or not so aggressive pillion pegs..

So I decided to Make myself an Adapter Adapter Ala Matty Magoo, so that the Occy Straps would be effective with pillion pegs removed altogether..

Fabbed & Painted

http://i493.photobucket.com/albums/rr292/Gitzy84/2011-11-05084834.jpg

Ignore the lonely pillion peg, an exhaust bracket will be there instead, takes 2 seconds to fit, and works well.

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/7237/20111105085037.jpg

Also sorted my hoses for the coolant overflow and breather.

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/9541/20111105084025.jpg

Did I mention I did it at work whilst getting paid this morning [:p], I did a few laps around the mahoosive shed at work and covered the ol girl in mud and shizm.

Minor Update, got some mail today from Pro-Bolt and Oberon..

I've replaced nearly every bolt on the bike with stainless or anodized purple so not many left but the top/bottom yoke and the axle pinch bolts were bugging me so I replaced them with some tapered allen stainless items..

Also some deep purple anodized chain adjuster blocks..

[Gitzy]

Yup but still waiting for more goodies from Oberon :(

[ALBI]

hmmmm starting to feel crook mate !! had my good reperator on today and was all covered up and the 2 k must have snuck in my lungs dont feel good !!doh uuuuuckkkk.

i like the spikes !!

[Gitzy]

So I was going to ride the TL to AFR12 as the tyres on the R1 are completely shot.. But I couldn't not ride the Streetfighter to a Streetfighter get together that'd be stooopid so at the super last minute I excersised the plastic card and forked out for some spankin Pirelli Rosso's

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20R1/2012-03-26173607.jpg

and fitted my wanky purple chain adjusters..

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20R1/2012-03-28173839.jpg

Wow what an update!!! lol

[RevHead]

subtle i like the purple bits

[Gitzy]

Mail Man brought me my Oberon goodies today...

60mm SF Mirrors and some Fat bar risers..

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20R1/2012-04-10170639.jpg

[Gitzy]

I have a minor issue of the new risers have a M10 fitment bolt, and the top clamp on the R1 is drilled out to 12mm... No biggie just chased up some brass bushes 12mm OD x 10mm ID x 20mm Long and voila..

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project R1/2012-04-10171048.jpg

No mirrors and just Rated R bar ends..

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20R1/2012-04-10171306.jpg

New Oberon Mirrors..

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project R1/2012-04-10172040.jpg

[BANDITROD]

use locktite on those mirrors mate i have seen heaps of those rattle to bits

[80s freak]

Misses Gitzy would've looked great holding your new nuts. Ay, ay, see what I did there.

[Gitzy]

Will do with the Locktite Rod, I had a few other bolts get loose on the way to AFR this year umm like my TRIPLE BOLTS.. lesson learnt..

Lol Geoff ..

[Gitzy]

Well I thought I'd get off my ass and fit the new Oberon risers today..

Heres the difference between the Renthal risers I had on originally and the Oberon risers..

Renthal from top of yoke to bottom of bar = 23mm
Oberon from top of yoke to bottom of bar = 36mm

So 13mm overall rise

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/Project%20R1/1.jpg

My little issue of using an M10 bolt with the 12mm hole I had originally drilled for the Renthal's was easilly overcome with some 10mm Id x 12mm OD x 20mm Long Brass bushes.. Easy As..
