Hi guys just thought I'd create a thread to keep my progress recorded as I make this my own
Here's some pics of when I get her

Then after a couple of days the misses started to moan as it had no rear pegs so the first job was to fit rear pegs some how as the mounts had been removed when tail subframe was added



That's them fitted please ignore the shitty bolts it's all that was lying about in garage need to get some new ones and some touch up paint for the frame
Next thing that got done was fork seals as they both went separately lol then some general cleaning her up and just generally enjoying her and then I decided to De baffle the exhaust as it sounded poop and I took the sticker off

And then out with a couple of friends testing it out
And here's me on it posing up rivi

Next couple of jobs will be fitting digital clocks and new bars as the golds just don't work! Lol

Bandit 1250/650 I think (one of those watercooled things)

[dj23bol]

It's a k6 - k8 tail unit and thanks it's a water cooled gsxr11 aswell which is my first I've only had oil cooled suzukis in the past

[dj23bol]

got these to fit tomorrow :-)

Well fitted the new bars today what a PITA for some reason the risers bolt from underneath so you've gotta remove the whole riser to fit new bars then line the risers back up clamp them and then bolt back underneath and if the bolts don't line up start again lol its safe to say I'm going to look for new risers maybe some renthals fatbar ones next lol here's some pics
Removal

New ones


I'm well happy with the new bars they look miles better
The old ones are about as straight as Elton John

Well been having a few intermittent problems with my bike starting or the battery going flat it started a couple of month ago, if I parked the bike up for about 3-4 days with no use then the battery was flat then a few weeks later it was if I didn't use it for a couple of days.
Now for the last week it's been dead every morning without fail no matter how much I charged it or went out on the bike so I've bit the bullet and purchased a new battery today

And it's now charging ready for the bike in the morning I just hope it sorts my issues out

And on a positive not went for a quick burn tonight with a pal shame about the rain

Fitted a new exhaust today lol
Only joking my m8 has just got a zx6r and wanted to try my can haha

[dj23bol]

Made a rookie mistake and over tightened my chain the other day and went out to asda with the misses and got a full rucksack of pop and milk so by this point the chain must of been very very over tight and I didn't even realise. The very next morning when rolling the bike out I heard a knock coming from the front sproket area and realised I'd over tighten it and feared the worse so I loosens the chain and nothing still the same so we removed the sprocket cover and the front sproket was bone dry aswell so that couldn't of helped so gave it all a good clean and lube and nothing so my first thought I've done the sprocket bearing in GUTTED so took it for a quick test ride felt good no issues so I put it to bed for the night to let the lube soak in and this morning all is well no knocking from sprocket :-) well happy moral to the story don't over tighten and always go to bed instead of stripping it down first lol
Right things I need to do to the bike next are.
1. Change plugs
2. New rear tire as mines bald as fook
3. Fix the lights in the clocks
4. New exhaust can as mines too loud
5. Get the bike Dyno,d as it's running rich
6.possibly fit digital clocks
7.new levers

Is the sub frame custom made? or off a K6-K8?

[dj23bol]

It's a bandit subframe that's been modified to fit it's very clever how it's been done and looks almost standard lol it was done before I bought the bike

[dj23bol]

So I'm toying with the idea of putting my bike back to sports with clippons and full fairings just not sure weather to put newer gsxr fairings on or go with the original look with the modern tail.... hmmm any suggestions fellas
Seeing this has set my mind thinking

[sumo]

Either way looks cool to me. What is the end can?

[dj23bol]

Not sure sumo the bike with the fairings isn't mine just a template I'd be wanting to fit a nice akrapovic or something
