Project K4 Gixxer

Decided to tackle the triples today. I want to make a billet set, but for now I will have to make do with what I have.

Stock top triple drilled out to suit risers

I decided that these parts were in the way and asked them politely to piss off. Mr hacksaw kindly obliged

To ensure that the washers have a good surface i cleaned up the bottom a bit as the old lock had part of the casting in my way

Had Rod come over so that we could drink beer and brainstorm

Then we came up with an idea for mounting the speedo from the riders. Started off like this..

And ended up looking like this

Rod approves of the finished product

lol sounds like fun, very metrosexual shoes there Rod:confused:

Where's the good photo's of the bike that I can Photoshop

I'll take one tonight Trav, once I get the tank on. I didn't want to mess with the wiring that Tim is working with

Electrics are now mostly done. Put the tak on and just placed the h/light in place to get an idea what she looks like

PS The gay muffler is on till i get it registered only!!!!

Loving the work mate. Looking grouse. I have a K2 1000 that will be converted from plastic fantastic to something more to my liking. I'm buying up parts for that i will be starting soon. So far I have braided lines, a K6 rear that will need a custom subframe made up and a fatbar conversion kit from the uk to go on along with a pair of Leo Vince GP pipes to go on as well.

Keep up the good work.

you are right jules that is a very gay muffler but she is coming along nice mate

Ok, so who's good with photoshop?? Trav is already having a crack but keen to see what other people can come up with. Trav came up with an initial mock-up, which i then butchered to death in Paint as that is where all my skills are at.... (maybe not)

Anyways, this is along the lines I'm thinking. Base white with some red going through. thinking of making a white pillion seat (I may regret this later on, but what the hell)
