Looking good Surt
looking good surt
As always, bloody good stuff!

Hey Buddy,
Hows this beasty going? The speed you build stuff it should be running by now lol
no updates slingy, bought 4 bikes for cheap for modifying or restoring, pretty busy with the fuckers, keen to get rid of them asap
Fair enough mate. Any interesting out of the 4 cheap bikes?Quote:

not that im gunna just to refresh their paint and to sell off well judge yourself, here r 4 new rides, 3 of them i call quickies like having fast sex with a bike bwahaha
1. a Blasphemy project: a '96 virago 535, now stripped off, its frame and tank r 110mm stretched, a hardley's single carb mod, a straight thru exhaust, a fresh paintjob
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...y/DSCF0037.jpg
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...y/DSCF1008.jpg
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...y/DSCF1035.jpg
2. a Nightrider project dedicated to the Mad Max movie character, a 84 kz750 ltd (shafty) is stripped, the engine is dissasembled completely for restoring (its barrels and pistons r scratched and rings r worn off, so i bought a gpz750 engine to borrow cyl block and pistons from it) and powder coating, the harleyish looking bastard is gunna turn into a cafe racer, so a custom tank and seat unit r soon to be born lol
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF0042.jpg
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF0107.jpg
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF0198.jpg
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF1006.jpg
actually firstly i intended to convert it to a chain drive and researched that it could be easily done, here, the shafty motor with the sprocket installed
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF0128.jpg
and see the difference
el shafto's (or ciabtos lol)
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF0126.jpg
dick chainy's
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF0127.jpg
but after good reckoning i refuted the mod for building a brand new cafe fighter named Kawasooka
3. a Kawasooka project. the same gpz engine with the same kz worn out cyl block but bored off for +3mm wiseco kit (already bought and eagerly expected)... i looked for a frame and papers for the future bike and bought that
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...a/DSCF0178.jpg
but the engine was to big for the frame
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...a/DSCF0194.jpg
so i stretched the frame haha
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...8824cb719c.jpg
now its big enough for any engine lol
but then i decided to build a frame either from polished stainless steel or ally, so now im lookin for alpha numeral bits of that type
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...DSCF0230-G.jpg
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...DSCF0230-A.jpg
4. a Katorga/Gulag project is about cross breeding a ural with my b12 leftovers: the front end, tank and seat. to bad that i threw away the bandits cut frame (the upper tubes), so now im gunna make them anew
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...7cf3f7e29d.jpg
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...a/DSCF5175.jpg
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...a/DSCF5176.jpg
the b12 tank was pretty much fucked up so i had to make an autopsy lol
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...a/DSCF1017.jpg
then sand blasted it, not really successful for the inside part, the bloody silicone filler or what ever it was didn't surrender
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...a/DSCF1018.jpg
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...a/DSCF1019.jpg
then i cut out the upper part with the fuel throat to weld in a new one instead, no pics sorry
also the rear wheel will be borrowed from the b400 above and a custom ally swinger will be made... not really a quickie but i can't help it bahaha!
fuckin hell Surt you're gonna be busy
your not wrong geesexar lol.Quote:

outta finish virago and kz first, then proceed with the b12 and then all the others, 9 is their number in sum
my coming home to the land of Oz is being postponed for a while... well Oz is where I am \m/
when i was a kid, i read in a book that one bloke had build a bike from a Singer's old german sewing machine and a few bike parts. the deed stuck in my head for years and i decided to prove that that wasn't a fable. but i had to build a sewing machine first

siberian sleigh with oil heating
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF1157.jpg
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF1159.jpg
took 6 months to find the best place for oil coolers and just a coupla weeks to fab their mounts/holder
now they are gonna be always full being below the oil level, i can make a separate duct to each cooler and even to add fans if needed

Impressive as always Surt my man
Wow! Looking good Surt. Keep it coming mate. This bike is going to be nuts.
Fuck me, this is insane. Love it!
cheers mates i of always been around just messing with a virago project named Blasphemy
checking the clearance between the wheel and cooler, forks free and squeezed. mind that the forks are just for check up, i'll use a '08 gsxr1000 front end
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF1167.jpg
http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCF1168.jpg
now thats when my weight lifting came in hand - to roll about a 200 kg bike and not to damage anything. none the less she bit me by the fuck funger, having jammed it between the frame and lower yoke. thus the hell dog's been baptised in my blood. perhaps she avenged me for neglecting the project for 6 long months or was she just hungry?

the beast takes no rider! but i'm gunna break her in.
the bike's looking really hellish in the flesh - a broad back, massive body, stocky, with powerful legs..this animal will bring me to the land of Oz, dead or alive bahaha!

feel free and share your thoughts on the scoop design. actually i like it open, without a top part, thinking thinking
I just love this bike. Bit of a mongrel, but a mad a fuck, no fuck given mongrel. Always look forward to your updates mate
Have to aggree, was only thinking the other day, about this build. Stop messing with Virago's Surt and get this TOP machine running ;)Quote:

thanks mates actually ive done with the bloody witch (it took 3 times longer than expected) until spring, all is left is a paint job and final assembling in the shed, i believe by the time i'll have to spray over 2 bikes... or even 3 who knows
which part is of a mongrel wackyrider? im keen to raise up a thoroughbred predator so feel free to show me my omits on the way
took those fotos for my personal use, to sort out the design of the scoop, seat and mask, but if somebody is interested and having ideas (and good with paint or photoshop), feel free to come forth with offerings lol would be real nice of you!

Paint ? Pfft just clear coat it and let the world see your madness for all its worth.
Mate, I meant mongrel beast in a good way as it looks like it is ready to tear your arms off
Im with Red, that subframe looks mad mate. Love it :)
whole bike should be left unpainted
leave the swing arm black, and paint front wheel to match the back and just leave every thing else natrual or clear
thanks for replies i might consider that coz i fucking hate a paint job lol
heres the front end im using, not the one with red wheel

likey likey
Any thoughts on how you are going to protect the oil coolers Surt ? They look like they'll wear everything coming off the front wheel.
