revheads gsxr,more!

[Chase]

Reckon that looks great Pete!

If I may offer a minor suggestion... is it possible to drop the headlight down and angle it back a fraction more?

[xa-mont]

what are you doing with the Vrod light pete?

[RevHead]

i sold them on ,but one ASF member contacted me and asked how i held the gauges in,i said sikaflex, they would look good but i decided i like the z750 unit since i modded it ,plus ive bought a mini speedo to fit inside it,
Chase ill look into it ,
Trav, i swapped it to Rod numbers cheers

[xa-mont]

fucking rod... :P

[RevHead]

Quick or the dead,lol

[damo1]

i said sikaflex,

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMm yes i saw your skills with the skiaflex on the bottom of the speedo;)

You would have made a good panel beater with that skill alone!:o

[RevHead]

if its a badge or a window ,mate sika the only way to fly,

hey its water proof ,lol

[oldskool]

if its a badge or a window ,mate sika the only way to fly,

hey its water proof ,lol
Funny you should say that Pete, I had a car repaired after some cunt backed into me and the cheap skate bastards sika flexed the badges and the front grill back on, I spotted it on pick up inspection and left the car with them to fix properly.
Not a good look for a repairer.

[RevHead]

Sikaflex is a product if used incorrect can and will make the job look bad,But if done correctly will not be able to be seen.Unless its used to seal windscreens with .

[Aido]

so its ok to be a dodgy cunt so long as no one can spot it?
The missus battering ram was fixed by dodgy dago panel beaters after she used it to shorten up the rear end of a celica. Needless to say that the insurance co had to pay twice for the repair after I brought it to their attention that instead of replacing damaged parts they simply smeared sikaflex oer cracked plastics. Useless cunts couldn't even color match and bolted on faded panels off another wreck. What a poor state of affairs when craftsmanship and skill go out the window and is replaced with selleys no more skills.

[ALBI]

actually with windscreens, sikaflex or the other product of simular name is the only method of adhering windcreens and fixed side windows to all motorvehicle's !!

its used from the factory to race cars !!

a little know fact here for you guys ,but did you know that when a corrtectly fitted windscreen and fixed side glass is installed ,it is part of the roll over protection as the lamination's of the glass and SIKAFLEX allow's the structure to absorb and lesston the impact !!!!

and most badges on mototrvehicles are actually fitted with sikaflex from the factory
ie; SAAB ,some VOLVO's ,the HUMMER black bonnet protector was lamminated with the chrome top section with sikaflex!

opps forgot hummer changed that method to double side tape to save money!!!

all to most pannel joins are and have sikaflex added to remove harmonics and or vibrations from the factory
ie;landrover,jag,saab,volvo,citroen,alfa-romeo to name a few and then spot welded !!

now aido you said "and i qoute "

""selleys no more skills""

FORD actually filled all to most body cavites with shit made from selleys so the body is quiet for euro spec as they dont like how we aussies have loud interiors !! belive it or not!!!!! lololol

and the thing that gets up my goat is when people "not saying anyone from here either "have a car done a a pannel beater and have a problem with job done !! next time remember they are there to make money "and yes to provide a good level of service aswell" but if they qoute 10 hours to repair-prep-blend and paint an side section of a car and the insureer says no !! you will do it in 6.5 and no more should the repairer do the 3.5 out of his own pocket ???? you be the judge .
and when the repairer says no we need 10 to do the job correclty as they need to warrnet their work the insurer says 6.5 or it goes else ware in this day and age most pannel shops rely on insurer work so then they have to bend over for them or shut down .

just look up SHERRIDON body works in DAPTO opps ya cant they got fucked over by NRMA by the very same way !!!!!!
sorry my rant is over

Aido are you insured with AAMI by anychance or a company under their umbrella??

This problem with insurance companys these days they want everything done cheap as possible not so much enfisess on quality.

The shops quote as cheap as possible to get teh job, the result is you get poor quality work from the guys trying to cut corners for the insurance company.

The insurance company would not have paid twice mate they would have not paid the first guy, they usually take about 60-75days to pay so i'm sure you brought to there attention previous to that.

Trust me mate if they dont have to pay they wont pay.

Best thing for the future is get a policy were you can pick your repairer.

Pete has a point to a degree, the windows front and rear at sika flexed in as they are from factory.
Most door moulds are double sided taped and also sika flexed.
Big badges can beifit from a small dab of sika flex to aid in hold for long periods.

The problem with double sided tape that is not teh factory stuff is it has to be cut to fit so you never get as
much on as the factory new one would have.

Aback to insurance companies- they dont want to pay for new ones so they make us reback them.

1 BMW badge alone could be about $200 mate if they reback 100 a year thats 20K they have saved.

Its always in the best interests as a repairer to return the vehicle to as close to pre accident condition as possible, but unfortunatly your hands are tied sometimes and for the smallest things.

[Aido]

off topic now but most everyone has had enough of Pete rambling about his project anyway.....:p
"the smallest things" does that include a battery tray that has not been replaced but held in place wih goo including the bolt tabs? they let go on the way home from the wreckers/ repairers and the battery was shorting on the bonnet. Burnt the paint and boild the batt.
Bent torsion bar? no amount of goo is gonna fix that so dont bother and hope they dont notice.
Damaged lower control arms? repair that with some under body black over the top.
What do you mean the the diff housing is leaking from the cracked casting? we put almost $10 worth of sikaflex over that crack....Spiros still has it all over his hands from smearing it on!

Theres cutting corners and there is fucking dodgy. Selleys no more skills is no answer to proper talent.

No i agree with all teh stuff your talking about mate and i wasn't trying to say it was ok but it definately is used in the trade.

I'm just talking badges/moulds/windows is fine all the other stuff is just plan dangerous and shody!

Where was it fixed? Islamic fuck the infadels smash in blacktown?

[Aido]

Good as....Brunswick Vic

whats with this captcha shit too? Its hard enough stringing words together on a sunday arvo without having to decode that shit.

[RevHead]

Aido ,my wifes VX went to the best panel beater on the mid north coast to have some paint work done on the bonnet under warranty,well we got it back with a new left hand mirror,a broken electric Ariel,and some idiot had sikaflexed in the tailight,,we bought this car brand new in 2002 ,and it has never been smashed ,so if you need comforting in regards to what happens in panel shops im in the dark as much as you , as for me going on geezus ,i post a little reply ,about using the stuff correctly and you turn it into a shit fight,is there anything ,in this post that doesnt piss someone off ,OVER NOTHING.

[Aido]

nah its your thread.....everything is controversial LOL
Nice to see you have finaly managed to get a good clear picture instead of the usual vaseline smeared images. LOL

HEY!! What the fuck have I got to do with it? I'm happy for you to be a generalising racist prick, but keep my name out of it!

[damo1]

LOWER! the light needs to be lower it to high.

Bring it down and the lines will flow better i recon, but i love what teh bike has ended up.

[RevHead]

it hits the triples and fouls the levers if i lower it,and if i move it lower its no good for night riding ,

[RevHead]

[Gix11]

This is slightly concerning as we are headed your way for the AFR. How will they take to turbo's , custom made lights /fairings, loud exhausts etc etc.

[rod185651]

Bike is looking great Pete, I reckon you need to break up the orange with some black striping. Like KTM have done.

[RevHead]

ive been thinking of painting the rims black with a pearl through the clear

[damo1]

If you put your pearl in your clear it will go milky and look shit.

You need to put your color down first then go over it with your pearl then clear it.

[RevHead]

ive got a holden Astra pearl black i thought about laying that on and clearing the whole thing

[K6Thou]

Just matt black the whole thing and be done with it ....... ;)

[RevHead]

Just matt black the whole thing and be done with it ....... ;)
Not a chance, its staying orange its only the rims im contemplating the paint work on

[nick76]

Once the wheels are done black,you'll then have to do the frame&swingarm black,and anodise the forks black too!!:D:cool:

[RevHead]

hey kartras, the hugger is from a 99 scrad 600 ,i made a chain guard for the bike from alloy the cut the hugger down to fit onto the chain guard, i did drill holes in the swinger and chain guard ,then taped them ,but after every ride ,the bolts cam loose ,even with lock tight ,so i took out the bolts and riveted the thing into place
