    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:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->
    [​IMG]

    few parts off
    [​IMG]

    most cactus rear sprocket teeth i have ever seen in my life
    [​IMG]

    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??

    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:cool: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt=":cool:" title="Cool" /><!-- s:cool: -->
    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:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
    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

    [​IMG]

    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

    [​IMG]

    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

    [​IMG]

    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.
