I got the bike running all good, so cleaning it up at the moment and figuring out what i will need for my build my list at the moment is: crash bars left & right 3ln fairings 06 cbr 600 race tail alloy custom under tray dirt bike handle bars stubby exhaust stiffen the front forks twin dominator headlights digital speedo some sort of tacho that will read up to 20k rpm digital temp gauge led indicators strip, bog and repaint tank white repaint rims gloss black white strip around rims 65 tooth rear spocket 15 tooth front sprocket cheapy chain alarm system progress so far: I stripped down the carbies and cleaned them out, new oil and plugs and new ignition. tail is apart, under tray, wheel, chain, sprockets are all off. lots of degreaser and rags.. bike rear end pulling apart, stripped abit of the paint off the tank using verious wood chisels <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt="" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s --> few parts off most cactus rear sprocket teeth i have ever seen in my life chain and brake bracket rubbing on tyre has chewed out the side, tyre is abit wide. will put lock washers between the wheel and rear sprocket to stop the chain rubbing on the tyre. gonna have to make up some custom bracket for the brakes, was thinking of bending up some alloy? Im not too sure how im going to fit dirt bike handle bars, should i drill the current forks and attach some random dirt bike clamps for the bars??
started bogging the tank, need some more just to get the shape right resprayed rear rim gloss black ordering some white rim strips for the rims im going to have to drill the dirt bike clamps onto the forks as i cant seem to find any small enough for the existing holes
found this place: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://ww2.chaingangchainsandsprockets.com.au/custom-sprockets.html">http://ww2.chaingangchainsandsprockets. ... ckets.html</a><!-- m --> they make custom sprockets so i will order my 65 R sprocket from here. back wheel is back on, looks much better in fresh paint <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!-- s --> ive ordered 17 inch white rim tape which should arrive next week, i should have the front wheel repainted before they get here.
been on a long holiday and haven't had a chance to do much. 14 tooth front sprocket, 65 rear tooth sprocket and 428 pitch chain ordered. sourced it all from the US for $204 express shipped <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> tried chain gang up in QLD and they wanted $220 for the rear sprocket alone <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> my white rim vinyl strips arrived, just got to find the time to repaint the front wheel now. im considering getting the mc22 tyga tail kit. its about $250 shipped for the lot, minus the under tray
got a chance to do a little more, its starting to look much better made a straight through shorty exhaust to give me some ideas what i want to do with it both wheels painted and white vinyl strips on i over came the problem of the rear caliper bracket by cutting one side off and moving it over, you can see in the pic above where it has rubbed and chewed out the edge of the tyre cant wait till my big sprockets arrive so i can take it for a ride! im going to check out some tail sizes at the wreckers, im looking towards a 08 cbr 600 tail if its good front fender is painted, waiting to dry
OK Charlie Starting to take shape now. It is great when you have the facilities to to this kind of thing. Can't to see the finished product. I had my first car stolen and was lucky to get it back in one piece with only minor damage. The worst part was that it had a custom paint colour and there was no way to get another batch of matching paint. I ended up repainting it a completely different colour but it never was really the same car for me.
chain and sprockets on, went for a spin, abit disappointed. either need new clutch or engine rebuild.. engine is quite chuggy and horrible down low, can hardly pop up the front wheel with the clutch. front forks are waayy to squishy aswell..
Sounds like your EXUP is out of adjustment (or missing entirely). Also, your forks are low on oil, perhaps empty.
yep no exup. have wired the valve open, will get some cables and see if that makes a difference. pretty sure the seals are buggered on the forks
Just for giggles, wire the EXUP closed - be careful to not drop yourself on your cranium, with that ridiculous rear sprocket. You'll definitely want to install the EXUP system, else be stuck around 9-10k RPM for a redline. Throw some oil in the forks; riding dry can seize the innards, and then you've got a set of forks on the menu.
ZX-2R forks on the menu? <!-- s:Biker1: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/th_Biker_1.gif" alt=":Biker1:" title="biker_1" /><!-- s:Biker1: -->
