Yella's ZX7 project
I got back from Dubbo with the shits:( cause I didn't have my bike going and decided I better get to it if I ever want to see it on the road , So I picked up some of the bits I wanted and could afford at this stage and started[8D].I know it's a long way from finish as I put the first spanner on it tonight but I figured I would start a thread to show the progress as slow as it will be. On this the 1st stage the mods will be
shorten an 03 R1 ducktail and fit with integrated indicators in the taillight
shorten the sub frame and raise the angle of the tail slightly
520 chain and sprocket -1 +2
strip off and sell the unwanted/needed bits and clean up
new dash unit
clean up wiring and fit headlight unit and front indicators
find/make exhaust and can (not sure on style yet will work that out as I find bits I like)
mod or get new front guard
Full service and general clean up
get it dyno'd
braided lines and new brake pads
general bling bits
paint and rego
so not much really but enough to keep me busy and with $$$$ :(In short supply it may take a while for some of it to come together.
It was all fairly straight forward tonight me and my offsider found that my bike had gone out with Fimp's and has rocker cover leak and the starter solenoid is playing up nothing huge and had a mock fit up of some bits happy with it so far:D:D
will get some better quality pic's later for now these are off my phone

http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../243574372.jpg
mock fit up just to see how it will sort of look
http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../243574966.jpg
stage 2 once it is all running and rego'd I am going to have a go and some extra power.zx9 motor and a turbo maybe will see how it pans out. I have plenty of time to research and hopfully get it right

Slow progress but its getting there
http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../245704494.jpg
http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../249863970.jpg
Still need to glass and clean it up but thats about what I was looking for with the tail [8D]:D
-
yella did u cut and any of the wiring in there or have you just repositioned it around the battery etc? pics pls
-
Keen to see the progress on that mate, should look good.
-
Keep it coming mate...........
-
I know I know I am making slow progress but here is something
http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../254134604.jpg
All the wires and boxes are in the process or have been moved around the battery and I am making up a new harness for everything forward of that
http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../254134609.jpg
http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../254134612.jpg
And some new Bling yellow braided lines and new pads should help stop me once it goes again
Will grab some pic's once I have finished the duck tail not much longer
-
-
mate - that tail piece is coming up great. has it taken you long? it took me ages to get mine right but i'm fucking useless
what sort of lights you going to run in the back?
-
Thanks Didn't take long only seemed like a couple of hours but maybe it was longer I seem to lose track of time when I get working in the garage.I am going to run a 03 R1 intergrated brake/indicator LED I picked up off ebay
-
M8 love the shorty can......LOL
-
can't seem to find time of late but I will get it done

http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../287688951.jpg
Finally feel like it is moving forward not that you can really tell by the pic's but It is getting closer to paint:D I have to finish off the wiring now when I get time so I can test new dash and remote starter
-
Man, thats looking wicked.
-
-
I know you figured I got tired and couldn't be bother finishing but but you are wrong:D:D kids, work, life seem to keep getting in the way but still moving forward

Finished the test fit up and bike got striped down and cleaned still have to sort the exhaust and a belly but needed to get some thing down so finally got some paint on the frame and started polishing the rest.
Also got some black on the wheels to get away from the gay purple.
And I think I have named the bike Outkast. As it seems since starting this bike I have become the social outcast amonst the people who I use to ride. When asked what I am riding and I explain they ask why and then look at me like a weirdo when I say why not:D
-
Love the stumpy seat/tail unit you made up.. gunna be a tough looking bike when it's finished..
-
^^ agreed. Short rears look cool.
-
I can't wait to check out next years update:D
-
Update 2010
as always progress is slow but progress is progress :D
finally got it up to a point that I could take it out of the garage :D[:p]:D and even managed to slip the helmet on and go for shake down test to see what falls off before I put the color on the bike. A couple of little changes need to the duck tail mounts but all is good[8D] Dash works great. I mounted the speedo pick up on the rear brake slide and the magnet on the disc

http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../390806615.jpg
Still some details I need to make up i.e headlight bracket, mirror mounts exhaust hanger bracket and I will try to make up a new front guard but that can wait for the moment as I want to get rego and head out for a good ride:)
http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../390806613.jpg
Got a IXIL can, looks the part sounds great and come with extra baffles to quieten it down if you are into that, Me I set it up with out the extra baffles ;)
Over all I happy with the bike now even if it has taken way long to get to this stage[V][V]
-
That Tail looks great!
Good work
-
Lookin good mate, Rome wasnt built in a day ;)
-

-
Starter work on a belly while the tank, tail and front guard get some paint.

My fav tool and the other side of the belly
http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../393173711.jpg
I made up a jump start trolly with charger just cause I could [8D] so far no real call for it :D
Pick up so bar end mirrors but decided to fit them on the master cylinders for the brake and clutch instead they tuck in nice and tight [8D][8D]

http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../393173681.jpg
also got a new fuel cap and some frame sliders will fit these once I give the frame one more go over with the polish

i bet your missus isnt going to happy about that sprocket stain on the carpet .... bike is looking good aswell mate
-
lucky for me it's only a old rag over a table in the garage,
thanks I am happy with it
-
Good thinkin with the bar end mirrors bloke..I like it.
Tidies things up, and doesn't widen the bike.
Have you ridden it with them? Elbow monitors, or what?
-
mirrors look good, i've had ones on the tl like that for a while now
with the flatbars your arms are out so there is a nice gap under em, not sure about with those clip-ons
keen to find out though ;)
-
Haven't riden with them in place but sitting on the bike I can sort of see.Will let you know once I get out on the road. I don't tend to use them anyway
-
Merry Xmas to me :)

And yes it is yellow [8D] [8D] [8D] [8D]
-
Worlds longest build thread !! But I'm loving this bike, keep em coming Yella. [8D]
How much longer til it's back together & riding?
-
Hope to have it going for April just have to see if I can get time between work and the rest of life to get it done fuck all to do really so should happen
-
Now what to do??
I can stick with the polished frame but will I ever be happy with it a little cloudy in spots or do I drop it apart and paint it all black :(:(
http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../394277853.jpg
http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL183.../394277859.jpg
Maybe just start again with the polishing [xx(]
-
I like the polished look, but the clouds would give me the shits every time i look at it if were mine
-
Polished is the shit :D
but im way too lazy for it
-
-
Yella that is looking very good mate! I like the colour, sure wont miss that on a ride! Top stuff mate.
-
looks good, i dig the tail and rear light, it will be a shame to have to put a numberplate on that
-
Getting better?!?!?!?
That's a bit of an understatement!
It's looking the duck's nutz dude!
-
looks great....except that headlight, they are poo from an aids infected gay monkey
-
Still gunna have to figure out what to do with the number plate and the headlight is how you say "the right price" so for the moment it will stay, was thinking about pulling out the lights and making my own surround for them maybe stacked instead of side by side we will see
