First major draw back this arvo after a few hours trying to wire the new dash in, I got the blinkers, high beam, neutral light, ect all working but cant get it to talk to the other functions, tacho, speedo ect...... Maybe I'll have to find another speedo .... fucken, fuck fuck it.
The plan was to get rid of the oil cooler and tidy up the front of the engine, well I managed to round off the grub screw behind the oil filter, it was 6mm, I drove a 1/4" one in and managed to round it off too, so it looks like the oil cooler is staying on for now. Yesterday was one of those day as a friend put it I had "passion fingers" yesterday, I fucked everything I touched.
Carved up the side frame covers to fill in the void between the tank and the frame, still not sure what to do here but these will do for now.
Cut the muzzy back about 6"
that looks and sounds heaps better mate

So it was a bit slow today and both the Chinese headlights came in so I wired up the Buell ones and the CFMoto ones so they had a common plug. I like the Buell one but they are shit lights so I'll be sticking with the CFMoto one I think. I just need a couple of fork clamps to get it one, finding it hard to locate 50 - 54mm fork clamps though. Plenty in China but I want them before the weekend, any idea's.
Gday Stu ,heres a couple of options I,ve used first one is some rubber mounted clamps from my bike shop the other is PVC pipe clips from the Plumbers ,cost next nothing,just stripped the powdercoat of then rattle can black them.
I'll head down to Reece plumbing and check them out, didn't even think of a plumbers. They'll do until I get some good ones made up.
Found a couple of lower clamps at a muffler shop today and roughly fitted the CF headlight. It looks good, I like it.
Anyone know where (in Australia) I can find two 50mm 2 piece fork clamps for the top. Something like this http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/68/20994/ITEM/Pro-Tek-Fork-Tube-Clamps.aspx
wasn't joe doing them a while ago?
mate Ben @ Xtreme used to do some 2 piece clamps - the one you posted up is a damper clamp for the forks but the other were like these
The damper clamp suits the top bolt layout on the headlight, maybe I'll just have to bite the bullet and order one from the states and just wait. I'll keep looking on the net until Monday, if anyone knows a shop that has them let me know.
Joe...CrazyMofo ?
I do the damper mount style ones for $55 each
I sent you an email Ben.... send me 2 damper clamps & a 15t cog, and a 42t sprocket and a chain....gold ones please.Originally Posted by EXBEN

Some of you may remember this R1 from the last AFR at Casino, it's coming along slowly, I'll get some more photos of it once he's finished, it'll be different.
