Bolt on Goodies

Post by Mori Man »

Started to fit the parts I have left in the various boxes I have:

BEET Dark lens covers , I'm going to replace the lenses on the indy's with dark tint too :smt004
ImageImage

Can hanger stay has always bugged me - just to wide and occupies to much space , so with a customer pissin me off so much I've decided to use a hanger that was bought for him. made of Stainless so a bit heavier than the standard one but I like the look so may source an alloy one down the road :smt001
ImageImage

Oh, and washed the wheels.

As I add the parts on I'll keep posting them up in this thread.

Ah, PM me! Your SP seat cowl is in Manchester now :smt001

Updated the can hanger arm for one with a 30mm off set so now doesn't touch the bodywork, made from aluminium with a brushed effect.

MM!

Look what arrived today

Post by Mori Man »

Scored an adjustable pulsar / rotor / timing trigger / advancer yesterday :excited

Not for the ZXR per say but of course can be adjusted to fit :smt005

As is, it will not have any retard which is OK as that's really for nitrous motors so instead of having +5' advance it can go +10' - unlikely to ever need to go that far with it !

Going to keep scouring for more to make up my F3 kits as the SP rotors are no longer available :smt009

I successfully modified a ZXR750 rotor to fit the ZXR with the correct timing stamped on it but this is sooooooooo much easier :smt002

Better get making the patch leads for the H and L looms :smt001

Throttle cables

Post by Mori Man »

Well the GPz900R cables have been bugging me (too long) and I know the L model cables for flat slides are too short :smt011

So was about to order up a custom made set (The J2's are now no longer available) when I spied a slim line switchgear for a GPz900R going cheap :smt017

Why does that help ? Well , I have a F3 high throttle kit but when you use with the standard switchgear there isn't enough room (Throttle tube housing in switchgear is also redundant) and the F3 kill / starter switch gear has no lights on it.

So I thought, get this and cut the block connectors of my spare one and solder onto this and get it sorted out - there was no need, plugged straight in with full functionality :smt004

So off came the OEM switchgear and on with these - still to tidy up the GPz switchgear (Actually an Active made one) and the throttle kit body so they will go on the "snagging" list for when I strip it down again.

So nice having a crisp throttle response and I also managed to set it up for a 45' action :smt004

Went along to the local castle to do some magazine shots - not heard back so maybe only open to UK residents :smt010

Converted the bike back to a two seater yesterday and took the wife out for her 1st blast on it :smt003

Her opinion:

Good view , windy , perched , no feeling to bike and said back end was sliding. Don't think she's used to the "tip" that the bike has so feels like it is sliding, i certainly felt nothing and she put that down to me not being sensitive enough :smt005

Today's project was to finally fit my old Yoshimura Multi meter - alway's handy to see what volts are being produced as well as the time.
Temp meter never seemed to do much and it's now doing nothing LOL - nice to see the temp in numbers :smt004 Warning light for overheating - need to find what value to set it at, got it at 165'c just now.

You'll notice the trip reading 90+ miles , this is what I have so far covered on 9 litres (2 gallons). Well happy with that considering it's FCR's and I don't exactly hang about :smt004

BEET cover , analogue coolant & digital oil temp'

Post by Mori Man »

Clutch plates arrived today so stripped down the bike this afternoon and got the frictions installed.

Went for standard 10-40W oil with new filter, sump plug was also swapped out for a drilled blue anodised one with a magnet in it.

With the engine empty of oil I removed the ZXR generator cover and got the BEET one put on:

Oil sensor got installed too:

The new look for the clocks:

Artistic impression :smt002

Didn't get time to go for a hurl before it started to spit, so it went under it's cover and will come out to play tomorrow :excited

A better pic' from today:

P1190278.jpg
I've actually got a Gold one in the cupboard - has some heavy damage but still intact. Need to get around to tidying it up and re-spraying it as I am sure the Gold would look good too :smt007

New clutch is bedding in well and oil temp sits around 90'c+ most of the time.

MM!
