[Big Dan]

Pete well done mate looks good[8D]

[pav69]

just paint the whole bike in that pete would look shit hot

[latheboy]

They look shit pete, sorry but they do.... If your going to keep them wide you need to drill bigger holes in them to get the ratio of hole to wall thickness right.

Or cut it down to 20mm wide and leave the small holes.

[BANDITROD]

I have to agree with Ivan On this one either drill bigger holes or narrow them down a bit ...but your on the right track fella

[oldskool]

I three.

[RevHead]

yup will do

This shot reminded me of a hospital urine bottle. I have pissed into one of them more times than I care to mention.

[oldskool]

But its all good RIGHT?

[El_Hefty]

did that ute used to be green?

[mr.zxr]

i like your way of thinking. speedo's and instruments generally stand out like dogs balls. hiding it is the way to go.

[RevHead]

thanks zxr,,,hefty nah thats the original colour,not biting any more guys enjoy,

[RevHead]

rather happy with the results ,will have vid footage of the next dyno run

[latheboy]

120Hp at the wheel is not bad for an 1100.

[ALBI]

120 ?? you meen 139.5??

[latheboy]

No.... ;)

[BANDITROD]

Coming from Ivan ( who builds dyno's for a living) I'd say he knows what he is talking about most dyno's are not accurate

[RevHead]

okies
understand,id still take 120hp at the rear wheel then

[K6Thou]

Yep dyno's can be fudged or manipulated to give figures over or even under whats actually there.
My slightly modded diesel patrol makes just under 140rwhp on an honest dyno......



I like where you're headed with this Pete.

[BANDITROD]

Not trying to stir you up at all pete I only know that cos I have heard Ivan say that most dyno's you subtract 17% off the final figure (I think)

[RevHead]

ive not had much to do with dynos,so im learning ,cheers

[hooligan]

with my old 711, the on the dyno that it was tuned on, it put out 129 point somethingorother. At a dyno day, i got a printout saying 150 something.
by comparison, petes turbo 713 (and judge) got about 4 million.

[latheboy]

That is one of my dyno's (well i work for them) and the power figure is power at the crank.
This Dyno has been set up to read like a Dynojet dyno which reads 17% higher than most others (good one Rod).
Can you post a graph?

If you want a bigger number so your mates give you a goby go run on a Dynojet:D

I'm not going to go into brand bashing.

One thing you need to do is keep to one of brand dyno (whichever it is) for all your tuning so you know the numbers are relative.

[RevHead]

it was a dyno jet

[latheboy]

quote:Originally posted by revheadpete

Ummm, thats a Dyno Dynamics bar screen Pete.

[RevHead]

told u i didnt know anything about them,,so were or how do the figures change is it the rollers ,

[BANDITROD]

Woohoo I was right about something

[latheboy]

Its a software thing Pete.

[RevHead]

[RevHead]

arhh pav the tank was bare metal for this paint job ,fella

[pav69]

did you go with two different bases on the stripes that go around the tank ,looks much better all orange.

[pav69]

[BANDITROD]

That dash pod come up great Pete

[RevHead]

thanks rod,i have a fitment prob,being a slingy speedo the cable pick up is mounted at a 55 degree angle,,so the cable hits straight into the left head light, so ive had to mount the speedo in twisted side ways,,il have to find another from an 1100w for a straight out cable fitment,

[pav69]

were the bars second hand pete or new ,can you buy an adaptor for the speedo drive .

[RevHead]

the bars were brand new ,and um the speedo after todays ride is rooted the neddle broke off,wot model bike is yurs pav

[RevHead]

1st ride out did 300ks even ,speedo shit itself ,,and ripped the left foot peg off on a lump of tar on a left hander

[pav69]

95 zxr750 mate

[RevHead]

i dont know about n adaptor,but could you change your speedo drive on th front wheel,and cable to suit

[BANDITROD]

Piss the cable off and get an acewell dash one of the little round ones

[fimpBIKES]

dude, thats really looking good now

i would ditch the flatbars to the tail, and put on turnbuckle things
that i think i can see how you are trying to match it up to the frame

little touches make it awesome
the red hoses with that red stripe through the middle

im with rod though, modern speedo FTW

[oldskool]

Well Pete only my 6 cents and I dont know whether you want to hear it but here gos, I think the tail looks silly and blown out by the colour, there are so many tails over that which would have looked the goods and Im with Fimp, the dash needs to be changed as the surface area it leaves doesn't work, to be honest I think you have gone back wards and as you know Im not going to blow hot wind up your arse and on that you may think Im not being fair dinks but I am.
Like I said just my opinion.

[BANDITROD]

The more I look at it the more I agree with Dylan on this one Pete ....with your talent and knowhow I am certain you can make this thing a real tuff fighter

[RevHead]

thanks guys,i am working on another dash as this one has given a few problems,with space n fitment ,as for the tail i like it ,,,with the colour i was trying for the more is less with the no strip look ,trying to make the seating rider postion stand out ,cheers for the thoughts it helps

[sharky]

IMO the only thing really wrong is the colour (and this applies to many 'fighters Pete, not just yours)
'Streetfighter' by definition = tough, nasty, aggressive, hard-ass....
But painting them pretty colours....makes them very 'nice' [:p]

[Shadowzone]

Pete, I like it. I think the rim colour ruins it, but the rest is ok. It could use something to break the colour around the tail section but otherwise I'm for it.

I don't normally like the Euro fighter look, btu you've pulled it off well here. If you are going to change the colour slow down and search the web to find a scheme which will complement the look you're chasing.

Otherwise, well done, and send the RTA a bill for repairing your bike.

[nick76]

I reckon its not too bad.
Alittle too much orange for me,and i actually like orange.
Paint the wheels black...and while your at it,the frame and swinger aswell.....and maybe the engine....then the orange will look good.
Is there still a seat pad to go on that??

[nick76]

Also,like Shadow says,bill the RTA.
I rode through all this tar like shit on the road one time,that their workers left all over the road,and there was this shit that was so hard to take off all over my bike,i whinged,and got quotes to pro clean my bike,and the RTA gave me a cheque of around $250,or whatever the quote from the detailer was.

[latheboy]

I like the painted wheels and the colour (don't listen to sharky he's building a chopper):D, speedo is shit but your changing that so it's no biggy.

I think the red pipes look crap next to the orange, i'd get some black ones if it was mine.

And fix your seat mounts dude....

[RevHead]

[quote]Originally posted by revheadpete

dash ,seat mounts ,hoses noted ,will do,actually need som alloy thingys made to mount the tail with as we

[wackyrider]

I think the paint is a bit too orange and bland (coming from a bloke with an orange bike) and you really need to change the brackets for the seat. A few pages back they had posted up a replacement for the ones you originally put in. Plus they were adjustable if I recall

[RevHead]

ive ordered the seat supports should have them next week

[RevHead]

ive got a radial brake master off a cbr1000 on my bike so i was going to order 2x different models of levers,as my clutch master is sv1000,but after a little mod to the clutch lever mainly making a stopper in it ,and extending the throw of the push rod the cbr lever fits the sv 1000 clutch master ,

I agree to a point, but generally speaking the majority of negative comments about any members bike are simply constructive criticism.

There is an entire thread dedicated to repulsive creations that nobody has any problem with slagging off and comments like yours are rarely seen defending these abominations.

It is a fact of life that some people have an eye for design and others try their best but need a bit of direction along the way.
No doubt Pete has taken some of these comments and made changes for the better, yet others he has ignored completely because they were in no way bike related and/or not what he wanted.

Build what you want Pete, but remember that most people are just trying to help.
