Project K4 Gixxer

Time to start looking at mounting this headlight. Been thinking of a few ideas as i don't like the idea of using fork mounts. I like a clean look on the bike. Someone suggested to use the riser bolts so that's just what I did. Got some steel flatbar and started marking out and bending

bolts weren't tightened up in this photo, parts are a mirror image of eachother

After a few more bends and time this is what I came up with. Going to tack the beds to restore some strength in them as the 90 deg bends are a bit harsh

That paint job is good Jules. You should run with it.

I am not a fan of the colour scheme Jules. Have you tried switching the colours so it is white on red?

Not being a nay sayer just offering another opinion.

But then I may be biased as I am sick of my colour scheme. Actually hate it. I am going back to black eventually.

Need to get the spacers machined up for the front discs so that I can mount them. I have also installed the braided lines which look awesome (Cheers Mono) as well as new brakes and got my M-lock from Motogadget. Big thanks to Tim for all his patience. Bike can now start keyless. Fuck yeah!!!. I'll upload a video some time this week

You've come such a long way since I met you in that campervan back in whatever year it was mate. Nice, very nice!

2007 Xmas party at Bikecraft. i still remember it well bud. Got to meet a few of the boys right off the bat. I still miss that van, lived in it for a year and loved it. But yeah, things have definitly changed and for the better when it comes to bikes. Remember my first bike here, that old GPZ 600. We should actually try to get back into doing the calendars again as they were great.

Looking nice Wacky, What bars are they?

They are Driven Carbon fibre bars bud -> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Driven-Ca...item45f8e98a6b

MMMM nice taller option in the carbon wrapped bars

I went with the flatter drag style (Actually sno mobile bars) FLY carbon wrapped bars>

The driven bars would be a nice option though if I dont like the fly bars

thats a nice dash bracket mate

Getting there mate. I like how you showed the whole world the position of the ignition receiver unit

Hey rod. Did you make the battery mount as well? Looks like some of you handy work

nah mate i just helped out with the dash

Slight update from the painter, starting to look good.
