Nice stuff,looks like a bit of work to do with fitting the seat unit
Lights look nice.
Are you going to put some renthals or something on it?
Not sure about the mirror not my cup of tea.
keep the pics coming dane good to see another blade on site.
good to see it takes up the whole garage to just the way it should be.
Thanks damo, I've got the bars and just need to get some bolts long enough to fit the suckers on... some nice silver taper bars :D
Yeah she's a daily rider, so I kinda needed some sort of mirror, not that you can see much in it! As soon as you twist the go bit, it just turns and points at you... useless really.
Whenever I'm working on the bike, my girlfriends car gets pissed off out onto the street :D
But yeah, as I said, heaps of work to do yet, I modified the R6 fairing a bit today (trying to improve my plastic welding skills) so I'll be mounting it soon hopefully.
good stuff dane i like to see work in progress
keep the pics coming.
i just finished my underseat pipes the other day on my blade
and guess what the bike won't start as it been left up for the
last year,got it running for a little while
but now it won't start but i think its dirty carbs or
it needs new plugs.will post pics next week.
I'll look forward to seeing your pics when u post em MC.
Also, question for MC and Damo, are you guys still running the 16" front wheel? Mine is but still has the shitty tyre on it that I bought it with, so I can't get a good feel for it yet. I'm told that they are a bit twitchy compared to the 17" but I'm tossing up whether to just throw a tyre on it and see how it feels, or to track down a 17" rim.
I'm told that some of the CBR600s ran the same disc stud pattern etc, but in the 17", so I know they are available to pretty much just bolt on without too much screwing around, but not sure if its worth the $400 that they sell for.
Any insights would be great
Yeah im still running 16in but was trying to track down a 17 and found one they wanted $450 and thats not with a tyre or a pair of rotors just a bare rim.
You have to get a f3cbr600 or a vfr750 95,96,97 or if you dont give a toss about how many spokes to run a vtr1000 99 rim
They all bolt straight on with your original rotors and spacers and axle.
the 16in feels fucked when the tyre is worn so maybe throw a tyre at it they are a great handling bike and mr honda did it for a reason
ah fighter wheres these pics i want to see this pipe your talking about
damo1:
what are those lights like at night?
i presume there not real great?
There actually not to bad high beam is better the problem i have is because of the
dash i cant get them up high enough to get a desent aim so there a bit low.
looking good mate love the r6 tail.
I've put the same lights on the GS now and am very happy with the amount of light they throw out. The parkers alone are about as bright as what my old low beem used to be and the new low beem is brighter than the old high beem.
No complaints from this little black duck! (Shit, I've been watch'n way to many Loonytoons cartoons lately, now I'm even stealing quotes from them. Oh well! My 2 y.o. daughter loves them, beats the fuk'n Wiggles anyday)
That's all folks!
Thx Gixxer, still gotta mount the sucker tho. I've already shortened it, massive improvement!
Ah dane going on the april fools run?
She probably won't be quite ready by then, but im struggling to get time off anyways :(
Damo i was off from work for a week so i couldnt
get pics posted as i use my work computer for the web
but i will post the pics as soon as i can cos its my mate camera i use
and he can't get out to my place until the weekend.
