Who want parts anyone else can have when you are building a one off custom bike, when you're able to make something yourself?
Well built "home made" wins for me , but if you don't have the tools $100 is cheap just bead blast the cast units and paint em.
Ozzy its a KZ1100 shaftie its got a bottom end and barrels in a rolling bike, no bodywork
it all looks prety rough but im sure inside the cases will be fine.
cool
So I picked up Betsy the parts bich today (not really many parts left.....) I'm pretty happy with what I scored but also a little confused
Here she is:

It's got whats left of an 1100 donk:
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...psc36edab6.jpg
And someone has welded in some bracing and a lower engine mount that as far as I know the Z1000ST never had
So could this be a GPZ motor? Coz they have the second lower front engine mount
I'll look at the frame and engine numbers tomorrow I'm sure they will shed some light.

They have also done the bracing down the back bone, bounes!!!
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...psa6dd13b4.jpg
And I got my cast engine mounts!!!!!
Mate if yr looking to piss off some of that 1st dibs
Mate of corse!
I'm gonna hold onto the frame and probablly the bottom end of the engine till I feel my gearbox running.
But the rest I was gonna part out and try make some money back ( mates rates for boys on ASF)
I have someone keen on the front wheel but that's about it so far.
You still got the spare set of wire wheels mate ? Still chasing a mig ? Shoot me a PM.
pm sent
Ozzy what bits r u chasing mate?
The only thing would have been what's left of the motor
the shaft drive bit?
i ment whats left as is, if yr keeping the bottom end there isnt much else worth having :-)
oh whats left... once mine is up and running ill let that go
too mate. i did wonder what u could possiably want off it.
motor parts always good lol
wait and see if I build a drouin super charger reproduction for one of these motors....... :-) cause 1503 cc just isnt enough lol
haha not even close!
I HAVE MY CAST MOUNTS

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps264d5b55.jpg

the colour scheme the way it is.

and a black tail and i wanna keep the retro 1000 on it well change
it to 1100 anyway....

I turned my attention to the engine out of Betsy today, with the head being off for so long my hopes weren't too high.
Threw some petrol in and soaked for a while as they were pretty well stuck:
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps8e7b5ccc.jpg
The crank does not look too bad:
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...psbc599c17.jpg
And the gears too:
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps37194296.jpg
Not much to report, gasket set arrived so I gave all my tools and toolbox a good clean and re-organize Ready for re assembly.
You know u have a problem when u realize you have 3 x 1/2 inch, 2 x 3/8 and 3 x 1/4 inch drive socket sets and 4 draws of ratchet spanners and spanners!
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps56bb8310.jpg
And got the best bits of Betsy the parts bitch packed away for later.
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...psb96abf0a.jpg
Right..... I Am getting the ball rolling again now i have my new metal making device.
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps4b1177e0.jpg
Pulled the frame down
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps0a95866d.jpg
And started cutting off the center stand mounts so it's all clean and ready to make the dogbone mounts
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps5a59dfd1.jpg
Things move amazingly slow when u can only grind when baby's are awake.......
You bought a Rossi welder? I'm surprised the leads plug in from the front...
I knew there was something ghey about you. :rolleyes:
Yeah should be alright they r made by BBT it duty cycles 180a @15% and 90a @ 60%
And its one of the only cheaper ones I could find that had accual
Adjustment not just a min and max switch.
migs are only for putting up benchs........
Ok u teach me to tig and ill buy one of those haha!
teach yourself I did lol
'migs are only for putting up benchs........'
Or Kawasaki's .......either way they're stationary objects compared to Yamaha's

So much for giving Ozzy1100 first dibs on the left overs ..
Yeah I know.... I have been getting grief from the mrs about how much
I have been spending on the bike so said I would sell some stuff to get cash back.
Nothing there worth having anyway its all fucked
Had to cut the pistons off, cylinder 2 has a dirty big crack,
Crank will need to be pulled down.
And just quietly there is going to be "no one who wants to buy the gearbox"
Cans turned up today, one is a bit banged up but I can cut and flip it and after a polish they should look top notch.
Just need to work out how to squeeze them under the seat.....
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps2a54b6a9.jpg
So to hide the dent and a few good scratches i flipped them left for right and both upside down, I will need to rotate the outlets 180deg so they pound down again
They will fit under the tail with about 1/3rd of the height hidden so I will put new decals on the side at the bottom.

New toys!!!! This will make life a lot easier
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps39f4d0c0.jpg
New toys are good.Good to see your project is coming along. As I've just got my GSX back I'll need to start getting my project up and running again.After all I can't have a smelly Kawasaki beating me to the finish line :D Having said that though I'm sure Lynton will beat us both in finishing his monster Kwak first :rolleyes: :D
Nice one Stiff. .....I needed a good laugh tonight.....
Pyramids were built quicker than Lyntons bike.....
my meatings at megalomaniacs anonymous are taking up must of my time
All good things take time!
As for me im trying to get my head around this R1 swingarm
Its like it has no center the monoshock sits to the left
While the arm itself sits to the right in the frame....
Very confuzzing.
On another note I need to find a new home for my tail light:
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps09b8ac27.jpg
Can you fit this just above the Kawasaki sticker??
http://www.thirdgear.com.au/products...ail-Light.html
Will be something like that.
I may lose the sticker all together.
I AM STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!!
Sorry guys i have been pretty slack in updates lately........
The move home to NZ has been pretty full on but we r settled in now back at work and for the first time in
4 years i have 2 days off in a row!
The bike is out of its crate and back n the stand ready to go.
I acually saw a bike run today that got me back in the shed, the bikes i saw would have had STIFFIE wanking in the bushes!
