Gitzy's R1

Looking great, dude! I usually prefer the blacked out thing, and having mine down to almost bare frame had me thinking about powdercoating... but, I decided to stick with the alloy look.

Whichever way you go, it'll look fucking sweet!

Well done!

its alright toddy santa might bring u a new paint job if your a good tall young fella ,,bahahahahaha

Gitzy that's fkn seet mate, great job!

[:p]

Cheers guys..

Hey Gitzy, The old girls look'in pretty good these days... Still haven't got mine on the road yet but i'll try and flick some photos on soon and show ya where it's at... Cheers Bud and happy riding.

Lookin' good Gitzy.
I reckon it needs to be blacked out tho!!

Finally fitted the coolant overflow catch tank/thingy, very handy the 2 tapped bolt holes on the side of the radiator.. just a strip of alloy and some ties and presto.. nice and neat I reckon..

Yeah that looks good mate.

Is that actually in the radiator itself? How have you sealed the fixers? Won't the pressure make it leak after a hot ride now?

i was thinking the same si

I'm confoozed.. I set it up like this pic.. there are two threaded holes on the opposite side of bottle out of sight.. In one I put overflow hose from the rad and in the other I drilled out a pressure relief hole so it can breathe, which I'll connect a drain hose to and route through to underside of bike when I buy some.. and the drain hole is on the underside.. Is this not a good setup, meaning have I done something wrong?? I'm a little radiator retarded.. I don't want bike to go boom boom.. I went for a ride and all seemed ok though... fill me in lads..

Here is the other side of bottle..

looks great mate, i like that tank too

I was on about the way you have mounted it mate, you seem to have drilled the mouting plate directly into the right hand side chamber with two black allen bolts. I'm unfamiliar with the set up. Did you use two existing holes and they are the original bolts or did you drill them in yourself. I could be totally overlooking something....

hang on a minute i just re-read your post i thought you had drilled and tapped holes into the side of your radiator but its has threads in it standard yeah?

oh and BTW if your gunna keep stalking(recruiting) members in your dunnydore you might wanna tint them windows to champ ;)

Sorry mate, I should have checked the R1 radiator before I opened my mouth. You used existing holes. Ignore my waffle mate. Now and again you see some funky things on here but I should have known you wouldn't be that naive and I should have looked into it more. I looked at this:

and your previous pictures.

Ah, Rod, you saw the same thing.

..oh, and tint your windows....

great minds think alike mate

Lol.. Nup existing holes Si & Rod - very conveniently located, you had me worried there, I thought I flucked up lads..

If I tint the windows on the bombadore it'll make my photos too dark.. maybe if I mount a google cam on the roof all will be sweet.. :D

just leave a gap in them somewhere

Maybe you could just wind down the window,or is that not proper stalking etiquette.

i was getting to that timbo i was just testing him lol

Lol.. funnily enough I can't wind my drivers window down it packed it in week ago.. dammit... I've babied that thing for years and its falling apart around me.. stooopid holden..

i got a vx with electric windows it was the switch

VX with manual wind up windows Pete.. :(

yes I said manual wind up.. [:0]

apparently someone didn't tick the power window box..

poor toddy

Its easy to get the door inner off, find whats broken, then just drop into berro wreckers.

Or you could just open the door and hang the camera out [:p]

Yup I think there a little on the lumpy side meself Rod.. I never intended on having them under the bars, but whoa didn't they look like bunny ears on top.. i think they were $20, so not a great loss.. I'll end up getting some a little smaller soon.. I leave em there for now though..

mate, I tried the same with my Koso mirrors and the only prob was they were hitting the tank when on full lock no matter how far forward I put them. I'm actually thinking of putting the clip ons back on and getting a set of the cafe racer style end bar mirrors...


I like the look of them under your bars =]

All scrubbed up and clean ready for NFR10.. Doesn't clean up to bad the ol girl..

I tell ya if there wasn't so much orange peel and scuffs in my paint I'd be very tempted to keep it, it comes to life in the sun..
