Yeah, that's what's pulling me towards this light, even though I like the other more. This seems to go with the bike more and it's cheaper too :D

Still contemplating on which speedo to go for for the Gixxer. Looking at either the Motoscope pro
Attachment 3142
Or the motoscope Mini
Attachment 3144
Because you actually ride your bike i'de go the pro.
i have the old version of the pro and its a great dash jules
Yeah, I'm thinking more the pro as it's a bit of a larger unit and the tacho is easier to read as well
the mini's look awesome, but just too hard to read when you actually want to (check speed when you see a speed camera)
Jules you need this....

As much as I'd love to.... I can't afford it
Puss
Cheers Trav. That would be awesomeQuote:

So finally got to get more work done on the sub-frame. Ordered some 6060 Alumunium 20mm square bar and cut it to size. Due to the reservoir on the rear shock i had to space out the lower mount by 20mm and then cut and welded a length of bar from side to side.

Then attached the tie rod ends to the MV lower mount and marked up and drilled the lower bar.

Still need to clean it up and radius the edges then paint it. Will try to put it on the bike tomorrow to check the seat height and adjust as required.
Also, just collected my engine from Geoff after the rebuild, you're a champ mate. Need to take it to work with me tomorrow so I can de-grease and paint strip, then rub back and prepare for paint.

Time to get this engine looking all purdy and stuff, so here we go.
Slung the engine from the overhead crane at work (handy to have :D)
http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps6e727d36.jpg
and had a friend come over to give me a hand. So we started masking up the engine
http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps90f8072c.jpg
Then got ye old faithful Paint Stripper
http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps4cd2e27d.jpg
and started applying liberally. As you can see some of the engine had some crappy red paint on it as well
http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps3b9efb37.jpg
http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...psce1d8e39.jpg
then let the paint stripper do it's thing and gave it a clean in the parts washer. Ended up giving it two coats of paint stripper and two good cleans to de-grease and remove all the paint stripper.

We the rubbed back lightly with some emry paper and started laying on some black goodness
http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...psfaff3cf1.jpg
Getting there. I actually ran out of paint and need to get some more as it needs another coat of paint, but it's looking good :D
http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps2bacf100.jpg
turning out good mate.
Cheers bud. Finally starting to get a move on it, however I'm gonna be away for work for a couple of weeks as off tomorrow, so I'll get back into it when I get back
lookin good mate!
Finished off the paint today, decided to give the rocker cover a bit of red to make it stand out
http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...psde7360e9.jpg
http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...pse62c82f3.jpg
Then wrapped her up to take her home, ready to be mounted int he frame when I get back in a couple of weeks
http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps6bcb55fa.jpg
i prob would have left it unwrapped to let the paint cure well and truly jules
I did Rod, for a full day. Would have left it there for the weekend, but I'm flying out tonight for 2 weeks and couldn't risk leaving it at work.
ahh fair enough a day prob isnt enough really but if you dont have a choice it will have to do mate looks good to mate
A bloke at work got his ute painted a few weeks ago, and the spray painter told him to leave it in his shed, and to not touch it for a fortnight to give the paint the a real decent amount of time to harden. Apparently it takes at least a week for all the thinners to come out of the paint. But no one is that patient to wait a fortnight, before re-assembly, haha.Quote:

Well, after 2 weeks of work in Italy, flew out on Thursday and landed in Melbourne today (Sat) at 3am. Was home by 4am and got to bed by 5am. Sold the R1 and then fitted the engine to the Gixxer. Not a bad day considering I just got back :D

Also just received my new dash (Motogadget)

Looks good jules the only thing I would do is either get billet covers for the rest of the engine or paint them to suit your new covers cos they look out of place to me
Yeah, I'm thinking more billet :D
looking great so far Jules, Im keen to see how this turns out.
