You seem pretty organized... Keep it that way or you will regret it. Ha. Good work, now HURRY up and finish it!! :wheeliezx10:

Thanks!!!

Im goin streetfighter with it. It wont be finished til closer to the end of the year, in the fall hopefully, i wanna ride it this year!!!

Itll look like my SV or a Z1000 when im finished with it... I will fab my own new subframe and put plastic off a newr bike onto the back, prolly have to use the tail section off a 1000 b/c a new 600 tail section will be too small, unless its from an SRAD, hahaha...

yah im very organized. everything is bagged up and tagged. Plus i have a parts diagram and i can order any part for this bike, so if i lose sumthing, i can have it in a few days anyways...

i cant wait to see how this turns out.

me too, lol

just keep going because when you take time away, you end up with a bike sitting in pieces and it will be two years later and still sitting there. Don't ask how I know.

ohhhh no no no.... no sitting around, i waited 2 months before i started tearing it apart and that SUCKED!!!

this is the EXACT direction im headed, i saw this bike while i was searching for what i had drawn up in my head, and this fit the EXACT description!!!!! exhaust especially, whether its the shooter or not! but i REALLY want this shooter! i might order some parts through this guy too, like the brake fluid res. brass knuckles...

*UPDATE AS OF AUGUST 12, 2009*

Got the steering stem bearings together and bottom triple mounted. Just need to torque down the top bolt to 43 in/lbs. very light pressure. I got it by hand, to where there is no wiggle, but it spins freely on the bearings without feeling any pressure at all so im gonna leave it there.

Got the frame bracket/engine mount bolted to the frame also. only have 3 of the 8 bolts, rest are on B/O for a week, but im not torqin it down b/c the engine is not in.

i need to grind out some of the powdercoating in the upper triple. In a spot i forgot to have Jeff plug off. Once i do that, i will mount the upper triple, and then slide in the forks, front axel, front wheel. Then put on the clipons and have the front end completed.

A bolt im waiting on should be in today or tomorrow to get the rear suspension and swingarm mounted up to the frame!!!!

here is my current stop!!

Sweet. Let us know how the powder coat holds up on the rear sets. Keep the updates coming.

will do!!!!!

whoa 2 yr build...

haha. 2 and a hald years almost!! this will def be an 3 year build!!!

i plan on having this completed spring of 2010 at the earliest!!! still got a LOT of work to do. gotta mold FJR or Concourse mount brackets and hard bags to it and sand and paint the plastics.

I rebuilt the forks with Progressive soft springs for a nicer ride.

every bearing exterior of the engine has been replaced with new OEM or All Balls.
