thanks everyone, "risky" thats good to know cheers, just waiting on paint and a few things to finish it, the electrics and power vales well be a challenge tho lol,
engine in, and gave it a test run on stands, sounds good shot of the custom swing, I like how it turnd out lol,
I think we need to ban u from the site ..... that bike looks way too good. It will be a shame to cover all that mechanical goodness with cowlings and fairings
I had a new VJ21 back in the day and always wanted the VJ22 more and now I've got that same desire worse than before brilliant work
yes fox its a nitron, the ohlins was $500 more so went with the nitron, hoping to have the bike finished early feb,
Had a feeling it was going to be good, above and beyond AWESOME!!! Attention to detail is incredible, real bang for your buck.
Hey Stigy, that castle lock nut on your swingarm axle - did you find a socket for that or was it a jury rig job? I need to remove the one on my NSR and I don't want to bodgy it. Be great to get a pointer to a company that may sell them. Cheers Jim
cheers guys, fox I used a socket I found amongst a bunch of rgv parts a got a few years back, I think "the tuning works" sells them, ebay might be cheaper but I dont know what size they are, ruckusman Iv put a fair bit in to it but slowly over about 2 years, it all adds up but dont heart so much over a long build,
yes I had it rebuilt put carbon reeds in rebuilt carbs, got reg and new plate, just need an air filter and some oils as far as things to buy, still got a bit of work to do, fit and wire the mirrors/indicators and a bunch of small jobs,
Very nice work Stigy, and the attention to detail is outstanding. I love the fact that the seat isn't sticking up 3 ft in the air. Someone defended the "streetfighter" look recently by saying that the seat is inclined like that because they are stunt bikes and it is more practical when riding with the front wheel in the air. Make of that what you will. My opinion is not printable.
Just checked their website Stigy. Please tell me you used one of their billet alloy clutch baskets. RGV and RS heaven.
