After a while procrastinating..(Finished 4 now)

[jakam04]

Ive finally started doing a few things to the GSXR. Buying a set of bar risers tomorrow and a Reikon fat bar which I got for a good price from a mate in a bike shop locally.

Spent about 2 or so hours this arvo getting the bike stripped and taking the Top yoke off lol (not bad for a first timer lol).

I stripped the bike right down so I could re-route the wiring to tidy things up.

After finding out that I didnt have a big enough allen key to take the clip-ons off lol.. I will be taking it into a workshop on base to get the yoke driled and at the same time getting the clip-ons taken off

My bike was in almost immaculate condition so yeah, the fairing etc was all clean and no cracks.

As for the exhaust... might be there for a little while as I think Im at least going to need $600 to replace it.. lol

$600 bucks? all u need is a hacksaw and an hour or so!!:D

[jakam04]

My exhaust is still the stock 4-2 system.. was thinking of cutting it down at the 4-2 join point just where the headers meet the rear pipe section and then find someone to build a pipe rearward to make it into a 4-1 system. Im not very financial so everything needs to be at a slight budget for the immediate future lol.

right ....100 bucks plus the postage hows that sound ?

[jakam04]

Will do a little asking around and get back to you, not sure what a speedo in excellent condition is worth. I was hoping for a little more as theres still a bit to get to my $260 speedo.

Talk to you soon mate.

Jarrod

[Gix11]

That's not a bad offer mate, I sold my clocks for $50 each, the whole unit might be worth a bit more though. Your call.

[WATEVR]

yeah i brought a tacho and temp gauge for a zx7r off ebay for $40 delivered? if you ant get the cash for bits take to a wrecker that supplies buts and pieces and trade for gear you need ie.bar clamps, bars etc thats what i did.

Still waiting for my yokes to be completed but here is a pic of my risers and bar that I bought for the bike.
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/jakam04/Image003.jpg

Have now sold my fairing and have purchased a few needed items for the revamp of my beast.

Bought a set of Dominator headlights for the bike, just waiting for the brackets to arrive.

[hmmmnz]

you said you were getting an acewell speedo,
i just wired up one for a mates gsxr750 fighter, he picked it up from germany for £50 cheaper than acewell themselves sell for,
ill try and track down a link for you :D
i hope you are good with a soldering iron, and dont mind drilling and tapping your disc to mount the damn speedo magnet :D

[hmmmnz]

http://stores.ebay.de/QUAD-66 is the german seller 149euro(although thats still $244.20 gee the ausie dollar bites (not as much as nz $ :D) for the little one with all the bells and wistles,
or this techy data logger/speedo http://www.veypor.com/
from the us for us$279

[jakam04]

Spent most of Yesterday wiring up the speedo. Had a minor hiccup with the Tacho as I'd wired it to one of the old wires. When it didnt work, I then wrapped the Tach input around Coil lead 4 and bingo... worked.

Only Have to wire up a temp guage being my bike is water cooled.

Got a set of brackets to mount my Dominator lights from Stu as well as a new set of brake lines for the front.

Last thing Im still waiting for is getting my yokes drilled, the guy thats doing it for me doesnt start nightshifts till next monday and its much easier for them to do outside jobs on nights when bosses are gone home lol..

Almost ready for the maiden voyage..

Jarrod

[hmmmnz]

i m having issues with the tacho as well it displays smoothly till around 7k rpm then the display revs drop off, i have it plugged into the coil itself,
mabee im getting funny readings because of the induced voltage from the cables near by???

[jakam04]

hopefully I wont have that problem, but until the bike is back together, I wont know lol.

Jarrod

[jakam04]

Had a bit of a play today and removed a few pink stickers from the ducktail on my bike. I think it makes it look a tad better lol...
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/jakam04/Image052_crop.jpg

You might also notice I have been a tad busy polishing a section of my frame.
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/jakam04/Image053_crop.jpg

Stay tuned for more photos when the following happens:

Tomorrow I get my brackets to mount my dominator lights,

when I get my Tripple yokes next week. I will make a bracket to mount my gucci looking Acewell dash.

Jarrod :D :D

[scotty mac]

looking sweet mate[:p]..that speedo looks the ducks nuts..much better without the pink bits lol..

[jakam04]

Thanks to Stu from Austreetfighter for his awesome parts which I recieved today, all I am now waiting for is my top yoke which will be done on thursday.. woohoo

Here is a pic of my dominator lights mounted and my brake lines..
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/jakam04/Image061_crop.jpg

Here is a pic of the brackets that i also got from stu.
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/jakam04/Image062_crop.jpg

Almost back on the road... just need to put top yoke on, attach my acewell speedo from Extreme Creations and Im in business..

Jarrod

[zx12argh]

Are those the HEL brake lines you got there? I got there orange ones from Stu... They have faded almost to white in less then 6 months. Let me know how yours age.

I've let Stu know and he's recommended I take them back to his brissy supplier so hopefully its only a one off.

[jakam04]

Well, my top yokes are now done. They get put on bike tomorrow, then bleed my new brake lines, attach sensor for speedo and then im in business again... woohoo

Here is my top yoke as well as the bracket that was made for my new speedo.
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/jakam04/Image064_crop.jpg

More pics tomorrow when fully assembled.

Jarrod

[Vcook]

love the speedo bracket! i never thought to mount it between the risers and the top triple, good show!

[jakam04]

Well... after a few weeks of stuffing around. I have finally finished all I can do to my bike for now. All Im waiting for nowis a decent tax return so I can do the ducktail conversion and possibly a paint job...

Here is a few pics of my bike as it is now.

Hey Scotty,

Yeah she feels real good. kinda had more confidence hitting a few dubious bends than I did the standard setup. Now just waiting for Jul/Aug for my tax return so I can do some more work on the bike.. Still want to change arse end to maybe an R1 or GSXR6 arse end. I might also swap my braced swing arm for a more sleeker version without the bracing.. less to polish that way lmao.

Hope the water subsides soon hey...

Jarrod

[BOHEMION]

Looks tops mate!!!! nice work

[scotty mac]

would a 91 750 swing arm fit? might b a long shot.
has anyone chased you for that head light? i think
SEF was asking ozkat if he still had it.was there
much work in fitting the speedo? looks tidy.

[jakam04]

Nah was quite easy... just used 2-3mm thick aluminium. I will have to post that question regarding swingarm to the experts lol.. I wouldnt have a clue.

As for headlight... its still in my garage gathering dust. Its cool to have it there till you next visit to save on postage, up to you, if you dont want it, let me know and will then put it out for others. till then its yours.

Thanks mate. Yea well as the topic states.. its finshed for now.. at least til some more money comes in.

If your going to the Streetbike shootout, I will be there too so you can see my budget attempt then lol...

Jarrod

[scotty mac]

i might give the light a miss mate, its going to be awile
b4 i can get back down there. the last trip broke the budget.
i bet the front end feels extra light now:D:D

[jakam04]

Yeah she feels good. Mind you, I had a slight moment going round a roundabout this morning.. think I might have to adjust the rear somehow to adjust for changes on the front.. I had to lower forks down in the yokes as the adjustors on top of forks were too high for me to attach new bars in risers.. lowered it almost an inch which is a fair change.

Jarrod

[Cruisecontrol]

Have you considered chopping a bit more out of your speedo bracket and mounting it under the top yoke?

I did that on my B12 when I had the original dials on and it was very neat from above.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/mintbread1/Bike/PA111623.jpg

[jakam04]

Nah, Im pretty happy where my speedo is for now. I want to make a small screen to go on top of the lights and just sit above the speedo... Once I got that on, it will tidy up the front a bit.

Jarrod
