So, my 400 aint goin on the track, cos I think it's too slow, and would piss me off.

However, it does mint wheelies, (a little too mint as it turned out the other night,) sooo, I'm gonna chuck a twelve bar and a huge sprocket on it, wrap the noisy bit in a crash cage, and stunt the bitch!

I'm on my way out now to buy a digital camera, so pics of the progress will start in a couple hours.

Quick self tutorial on camera use, and here are the first pics. It's a shit heap, but it's a solid shit heap! After it flipped on the motorway, I still rode it home, and it only took an hour to get it sorted and rideable again.

Note the scrapes on the tail, and missing tail light lense. Other than that, I bent a bar. (allready replaced)

Next pics will be with the 12 bar, and crash cage fitted, probably tomorrow night, I'm off to the garage now to attach the enormous sprocket:yes:

Stay tuned

Took ages to get a camera, and took me ages to turn the pics into site friendly size. After I put 'em in adobe, hit shift+ctrl+alt+S, and presto, web sized pics. Cheers for the tip Mikey:yes:

Tutorials are free bro, I'm not goos enough to charge for my limited knowledge.
We usually go out on a Tuesday night, (to our own privat paved area of course, we'd never do anuthing illegal), you and anyone else are more than welcome to join us.

I should probably say, if you wanna do wheelies, but are a bit worried about your bike, and arse. The cautious, fuck it, it aint that important to me approach is ALWAYS best.

This stuff has to be takin with a grain of salt. I've been hoistin every bike I've had since I got an '88 VF750, and only flipped one, but I've always known it could happen.

hmmm tempting, not too worried about my self, just my precious bike :love: once I've scratched up both sides it wont seem like such a big deal..... Think I'll get a bit more practise with front wheel a couple of cm's off the ground (although it feels like metres) and then might get in touch with you for some pointers.

I'm not gonna try and teach ya stand up circles anyway bro, (cos I cant do 'em myself,) so if you've got the hang of lifting it, it's all practise from there.
You can always ask how I or any other fool that does this shit goes about it, but we'll seldom all give a similar answer.

the progress so far on the 12 bar, on project bin, is that I have it mounted, but I'm concerned it is too close to the wheel, and wont give enough levridge (sp) to stop me goin all the way over again.
Needs the ends cut off the scrape bar too, to safen things up a tad, but you get the idea.

Christ you talk a lot of shit Poos. It's not easy to see in the pic, but it has a slider on the bottom, with the flat pointin at the right angle to sit flat when it's touching. Well, slightly off flat so that when the suspension compresses as the brakes go on, it hasn't got a sharp edge that can dig in.

Give a brother some credit, when it comes to buildin shit, you should stay inside drinkin.

You might have to tie a hanky on to that slider bro...

Na, the road code say's, you're allowed to hang an object up to a meter infront, and behind a motorcycle, provided it doesn't block the lights at all.

My, "luggage system", complies with those rules nicely.

Just a shame it aint, registered, warranted, and requires a VIN.

OK. Give this brother some credit.

When it comes to racing up hills on a road course, you should go to bed early coz "I got a head ache and gotta get up early and Dover gave me the learn today and my brake lever's coming back to the bars and my bikes not all I crack it up to be......"

Save it for the day bro, cos I'm gonna gift wrap your arse before I hand it to you:yes:

Bad news sports fans, I've decided to end the project before completion.

It turns out I'm not too flash at wheelies. So it''s gonna become a street rat.
