That's looking awesome

Cant wait to see the finished result.

 

Thanks,you should see it blasting,err maybe not blasting,just plodding around Dav next summer

Give me a heads up when your about. Definately love to see it

I might let all the little shites out of my basement that kept knocking my door in silly ghost costumes last night .

I hope you stole the sweets?

Only just left the office..

Ouch. Is that a standard finish for you or OT?

Now that sounds like a good evening

What's the showing tonight?

What are you all up to tonight?

That's looking awesome

Cant wait to see the finished result.

Got the old Rusty rad off the bike now.

The chrome guard is in good condition, but the surround and brackets are in a shocking state. Time to get all the rust off and re-finish it.

All good fun

New plugs will be here in the next day or 2 as well.

Nice one, guys.......not a bad day in the end......

It was one of the days where your not sure how far your going to go and ended up being an epic (dry) afternoon

Couple of shots of a little 100 mile round trip today with @spooks. Was a nice ride once we got out of soggy da[mention]spooks[/mention]

Nice work so far , your going to need at least one of these at some point to complete the badass look .

Actually watched one of his vids after the last thread. "How to change a tyre" oh dear lmao. Funny to watch

Well, the rats nest has gone and the new indicators are in.

They are flashing a little fast even though I've put non LEDs in and took the resistors out of the rats nest. I'll have a look in the morning what flasher relay is in there.

Looks better without that awful bikini fairing thing - those are cheap bolt-ons from ebay, much better with the dominators on

Not sure about the twin pods on the ram air ducts though. Is that to replace you're main filter element or just to stop debris going down?

I would have thought just two small pods would be quite restrictive to the fueling as you have 4 cylinders pulling air through just those 2 pods.

I'd probably go for some fine wire mesh which won't be too restrictive but stop flies and the odd rogue bird getting sucked into the airbox and keep the air filter element in the air box.

Just a thought though, looks a nice solid bike

The lights were crap from the start lol.

The pods are piped up as the ram air ducts, the bloke who started it as a streetfighter just left the open ports and no ducting so i had no ram air and the bike just bogged down under hard acceleration. The pods have sorted this, but im also not convinced. Im thinking they will change for scoops, im liking the mesh idea too though. Once my "needs to be done" list is complete ill revisit these.

I do Fall arrest training at my work.

I have images of incorrectly fitted harnesses that will bring a tear to your eyes

I was hoping to get the wiring sorted tonight but looking at the wiring, I've decided to take the bodged resistors out and fit new front indicators ( non led) these will be here tomorrow.

The head lights are so much better and brighter. She's having a full service next then prep for a respray.

Awesome restoration!!

Ive looked at your website too, a really good read. Keep it coming.

Got rid of these ugly headlights tonight and replaced with dominate twins. Looks loads better. I'll put a pic up tomorrow once I've tidied the wiring harness and fitted the indicators back on

Isn't there an Ichiban Moto youtube about ignition switch replacement? Baadass!

I'll have a look. Thanks

The main issue will be the configuration of the block connectors not matching and different manufactures using different wire colouring systems. If you are prepared to do a bit of cutting and soldering and you have access to the wiring schematics for both bikes then , yes . Anything is possible with some effort. If you just bung on any old 5 wire switch then I'd get in a good stock of fuses and make sure the fire extinguisher is near at hand . Good luck

Thanks for the comeback fastbob. I have no problem soldering. I'm going to look into it more but i will be moving it soon. I've jist wired in my new twin headlights tonight and I want to move it away from those. If i stop posting someone please call 999

Hey all,

Im thinking of re positioning my ignition switch. ive checked my wiring and its a 5 wire on/off switch. will any motorbike on/off 5 wire switch work?

I had to add these.

The advert says they boost my ponnies by 10hp

@Speedy23 ,gives us a shout when you are up this way again,The Long Itch is just down the road from me

Me too, i was about around southam last night.

Ive re-started this thread under the projects section of the board

Those filters are... interesting.

You might find replacing them with air rams and sticking a larger (or original) box under the tank gives you performance gains - especially at speed.

Haha, i know what you mean. The filters and pipework, were a quick, cheap, solution to having no ramair at all.

once the jobs that need doing are done, they may well change for air rams.

The bike does remind me of Madonna now for some reason?!

Thought id start a project post on my ZX6R.

I brought her as a (Badly) started streetfighter. I'll keep this post updated with pics and issues

If anyone has any information on these bikes or streetfighters in general feel free to share.

So far ive changed the front wheel bearings and steering head bearings.

Set up the suspension back to standard (the front forks had completely different settings) and the rear compression was set to hard as F***

Re-routed the ramair

New chain and sprokets (X ring)

New battleaxe rubber front and back

The bike came to me as an unfinished project. And not very well done I might add.

I've re routed the ram air after it was de-faired and jist left. Connected to the new pipework are 2 cone filters which fit on the holes left from the defairing.

She runs much better now. Especially under mid range throttle.

Carb balancing kit is my next purchase.

I'll keep you updated
