I have new bike, envy meeeeee


:love: :love: :love: :love: She's sooooooo purty and needs a "Doug will polish your ass" type of loving moment. (Most of my female companions have been like that too)

[porky]

sweet, should do wheelies easy as then?

Wheelies????? i thought it was the plumbing for the new flush toilet.

[ducatilover]

Well, hello there my little toy.....
Needs new brake pads for a WOF. Oh how sad......:innocent: I have new pads in the garage....
Small dent in the tank, crack to the tail fairing, scuffed to buggery crank case cover and I just fixed one of the indicators. All superficial damage. Runs very very nice, had to give it a tiny bit more idle screw and it purrs happy as Laraldo would, if he purred. :love:

[ducatilover]

Oops, forgot one :scooter:

[banditrider]

Looks like a neat little bike. Should not be too hard to tidy up either.

[bogan]

got the USDs on the BROS :woohoo: now if only the throttle cables reached to the fatbars I could go for a ride and test it out :facepalm:

anyone know of anyone local that can build up cables to suit?

Thanks! It's going to be superbly easy to do.
I've discovered it has a brand new Reg/Rec in it, always nice to know with a Honda of this age (Bogan can vouch for this :innocent: ) also has a new fuel tap/shut off valve. Another common problem.

Ask at some of those bike shops? Bit of duct tape and she'll be right bro.
Pics? Bros + USD front = big chumpy. :love:

yeh, found a cable place down in welli that specialize in em and bit cheaper, also a guy on the hawkgtforum offered to send me a longer clutch cable he doesn't use, so if the measurements check out :woohoo:

What's with the egg slice on the fork?:facepalm:

[bogan]

What's with the egg slice on the fork?:facepalm:

at the risk of stating the obvious (or maybe not so obvious as my flatmate didn't recognise it) its a somewhat modified version of the honda wing logo. As the bros wheel is single disk and forks have an extra caliper mount, I reckon leving the holes empty looks fugly so did that instead :D

course the alternat answer could be that with the superior handling, extreme lean angle will ensue, and I can perhaps now flip any eggs and/or bacon that is left on the road :bleh:

edit: goddamit, it really does look like an egg slice, i fear i will have to explain it many many times :facepalm:

Good stuff dude, looks awesome! I bet it's a huge and much needed improvement :scooter: Can I have it....swap ya, mines got bigger brakes and a bigger tail light

[ducatilover]

How is the Bros liking the sport demons? I see you have the 17 inch front and rear, mine had the expensive and silly 9yet sexy) 18 inch rear, nice and white to get dirty intantly....

Should I get rim stripes?

well sticky enough for the use I give em, pity its mostly commuting, bonus is with the lazy power curve (lazy cos it gives up and fucks off half way through :bleh:) it doesn't wear em out quick. Got rid of the chicken strips going ove the kaimais though, real nice high speed corning road with awesome surface on it too :yes: Yeh the later model came out with 18 or something and rims different style than the egg beaters too eh? Oh gawd, I got egg beaters to go with my slice :facepalm:

Only on whit rims, and only if theres a subtle design in there, like checkered rim stripes on pearl whit rims, otherwise it just looks too ricer I reckon.

I really need to ride your Bros, just purely for research reasons of course :innocent:
Yeah the rims were completely different to the egg beaters.
Bet the Kaimais were a good giggle! I'm still attempting to refrain from going for a spin on the CB :facepalm: :shutup:
Maybe I will stay away from rim stripes for now, not a fan of ricer bikes....or cars...

well I've already rode your CB, so it'd only be fair. Yeh the kaimais isn't your typical kiwi road, is smooth as, passing lane all the way uphill, real fast flowing windy corners, apparently you can even get a good view of surrounding land up there, didn't notice that myself though...

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo: Fuckin brilliant!
New pads are in the CB now. Have misplaced the new rear ones, so ordered a new set. So far it owes me $1390 + a crate of piss to celebrate my purchase. :love: Not bad! Will eventually take it in for WoF :innocent:

[bogan]

you remember to clean up the pistons before pushing em in? last owner of mine seems to have forgotten so have dissasembled whole caliper and gonna clean the fuck out of it. Was well choked up with brake dust. Seals look like they are still good though.

[bogan]

also, just fired the VT up :woohoo: just needed some different feul and a decent battery, ended up making up a lithium iron phosphate pack for it so well modern! cept for the bit where it turn over real slow and only starts sometimes....

still does mean back yard skids though :D

thought you would be.
My flatmate made it, he had some cells lying round that we were gonna try making into a bike battery for ages, just soldered them together and chuck em in there, for more permanent applications some shunt zeners would be required. Was thinking bout getting some better cells and do the same for the bros when I replace the subframe, not a lot of price difference between them and standard type now.
And yeh, skids are always good :yes: almost got the one handed stand on pegs O's going too... more practice required :D

Do you think you can get them making the same cranking amps? What about longevity and heat? It's quite a neat idea really.
I need to see these skids, I'm too tight to wear out my tire. I used to do them on the spada, kinda expensive habit with sport demons. :facepalm: Great for parties though.

yeh can get some Headway cells for 19usd ea (need 4 per pack) which will do 150A, think the A123 cells are even better as well, but bit more pricy too, and gotta be wary of cheap knockoffs. They are deep cycle, so leaving lights on doesn't wreck em as much as for lead acids, heat build-up isnt bad, they are designed to power electric vehicles, so using as a starter battery is an easy life for em, just gotta keep the cells state of charge balanced, so maybe a custom reg/rect too just to be on the safe side.
These are back-yard skids on grass, so no tyre wear :bleh: if you're in palmy come round and have a go!

nah no idea who makes em

[ducatilover]

Google time. I have a California super bike school DVD. 'Tis awesome.

[bogan]

think i've got the book for that, tis also awesome

[ducatilover]

I'd love to get to the superbike school here. Iron Maiden is also awesome. Dance of Death pumping is good to keep one relaxed. Where's my beer....:drinkup:

[bogan]

yeh, I still gotta get my ass to a trackday. Not much of an iron maiden fan, but had a some disturbed cranking in the shed for bros maintenance though, and expecting excessive amounts of beer to be had laters. All in all a pretty good day I reckon :yes: bikes, skids, metal, and beers :D

[ducatilover]

Bikes, skids, metal and beers works for me!
I wonder if the CB had any ignition retard crap on it? I'm fairly sure it was an NC29 motor with a beige set of cams and lower compression etc but maybe the ignition is gay? Could explain the flat spot it has.
I whipped the carbs off and cleaned them up, they weren't exactly secured very tight. Hope this solves the problem, might slam some 95 in the tank too.

[bogan]

need to find a service manual for it I guess, or some dyno charts maybe...

[ducatilover]

Have a service manual, no mention of restriction etc. I know ot (was) limited to 180. I may have accidentally removed that.....:innocent:I found one dyno sheet of 49rwhp but can't find it again.

Took the CB around the block (40km block...) Have sorted the flat spot problem. Goes pretty well now. Pulls cleanly through the rev range and starts building "power" after 7000. Quite a peppy wee thing, would wipe the floor with a cbr250 and I can't get over the comfort and smoothness.

Coffee time.

yea really enjoyed basic and am moving down to burnham on the 6th....
mum thourght it would be neat if she got me a gps for my bike as a birthday/christmas present... are there any bike specific models or do i have to go with the big ugly waterproof cases and such? any advice or info would be most welcome

[cowboyz]

check out sarges nuvi or meanie zumo.

[specter]

hmm the nuvi 500 seems good enough... but now im stuck with mounting kit and dc power supplys..... god im shit at this

[NZsarge]

do you have exact models?
Garmin Nuvi 500 (mine), it's not bike specific but it's a shit load cheaper even after buying extra's like mounting bit's and pieces to get it fitted to the bike. It's just a basic unit though, no bluetooth or any of that but it is rated as waterproof.

Garmin Zumo 550 (Meanies), not cheap but these are bike specific and higher spec meaning bluetooth etc... Comes with all the drama to fit it to the bike as far as i'm aware and can also be used in the car too as can my Nuvi 500. It's a little bulkier my unit but is better for using due to bigger screen meaning it's usable with your cloves on where mine is not so much.

Garmin Zumo 660. It's an upgrade to the Zumo 550 but a little more slimline and may possibly have another trick or two it's sleeve spec wise but are also dearer again than the Zumo 550. Apparently the Zumo 660 was a little problematic when they first released it and a lot of people choose to stay with the Zumo 550 because of it but i'm assuming they have it all sussed out now.

Strike. This is another bike specific GPS but I don't know the specs on it at all apart from I think it's the cheapest bike specific GPS you can get.

There is a bike specific GPS from Tom Tom too I think but I can't think of the name of it off the top of my head.

So theres a bit of info to get you started, cost no option I think the Zumo's 500 and 660 are the dogs bollocks but if it's a basic unit that's all you need then the Nuvi 500 is a good option.

any good sites for mounting kits and dc chargers?

"Ram Solutions" would be the best place to go for mounting solutions and on Garmin's website you should see hard wiring kits available for the Nuvi 500.

[banditrider]

Zumo 550 FTW! Comes with everything for the bike & car and they're a lot cheaper now. Not sure of all the differences between them and the 660 but the 660 does have a widescreen & stereo blue tooth (only mono on the 550 eh Meanie).

Best gadget I own. Load up an SD card with MP3's and hit the road - music plus voice directions and speed camera alerts. You will need some speakers or earphones though. I also sync my phone when in the car for hands-free calls. With an intercom set like Meanies you can even do this on the bike. FMS!

Take a good long look at the Garmin site, looks like there is a cheaper bike specific option now called the Zumo 220.

you really really need the GPS to be compatible with mapsource. Its a garmin thing and a windows thing but just SOOOOOO much easier to make routes and stuff than any other software out there... and your routes will be compatible with everyone else!

And another thing - Garmiin stuff comes with Mapsource. Fantastic software for programming routes - easy to use and damn handy!

Not a bad idea. And you shouldn't have the GPS in ya face anyway - too distracting, a quick glance is all you should need.

Oxford make quite a neat little tank bag with a waterproof accessory socket. I'm considering getting one for the VTR and wiring up a db under the seat so I can run the heated grips and a socket and not have them live all the time. That way I could use the zumo on the VTR with a USB charger and not have to worry about the battery running down.

Went through Ashurst and stopped in Bunnythorpe to visit a mate or two, Cowboys, do you live on the left just after the turn "into" Ashurst as one is coming from the gorge? I saw a cheeky looking green machine in a driveway on my way through both times today.
The new riding pants are high waisted, so aren't cool looking as one would like, but, damn they are comfy and wind doesn't seem to do anything for them.

All up, I only opened the bike up once or twice passing trucks and a poorly driven car or two up the Pahiatua track, took it nice and easy to get back in the groove and have some tasty as hell looking chicken strips, could feed a village with them, but I couldn't care less.

you could probably just turn up and learn how to use it, reckon you'd be able to get a fair bit done before anyone noticed you're not actually supposed to be using it :laugh: Only get paid for massey employed bits, seems a bit dodgy to make and sell parts using their machine. But I've been know to hook a brother up mates rates styles, so could probably do a few parts for ya. Pity I don't know how to use their CNC lathe, otherwise it'd be mass production of bros frame sliders :D

yeh from what i've heard the cnc lathe is a bit of a bastard, got write all the code text only, no spaces, but it does have a bar feader, so good as for large runs!

but yeh, jut turn up if you want, will be doing mostly CAD stuff on monday...

yeh, they come out from the front engine mount. Rear sets are the plan, but after the seat swap to make sure i put em in the right place, probly make some multi position jump plates up first anyway.

fuck yeh, they say there's no replacement for displacement, but RPM come pretty fucking close I reckon!

yeh, think the plan would be to get 4 NSR250 pistons, ring rods. Stick em in a 90 degree V4 configuration, supercharged fuel injected two stroke engine config; add a dash of gear driven cams, desmodeuci style valve system. And jam it all in an RC31 frame for starters, would be fucking mad :D

Two stroke with cams????? :scooter:

I would be a prick with the same v4, but run a variable vane turbo, bout RHB51 size (I'll find somewhere to stick it), titanium anything possible, forged rods, pistons and a nice custom crank. RVF heads, converted to pneumatic valves, we want at least 20krpm....obviously direct injected with variable intake manifold volume... oh and just an RVF frame will do, with carbon wheels and tons of Ohlins gear.

yeh, forget the name of the cycle, mainly used in big diesel ship engines and generators I think, cos the charger can blow fresh charge through the cylinder you can replace the exhaust port with a valve (bit higher compression) and do away with the expansion chambers, would probly have to go with direct injection so as not to piss all the fuel out the exhaust too. and with no inlet valve to worry about you could have a massive exhaust valve and the plug off to one end. Massive rpm! may need to do a bit of titanium rods to cope with it all...

that idea sounds pretty mint too, and you could use plenty of existing parts for a quick build too. A pnuematic valve project would be pretty interesting, don't spose the RVF heads are non interference? what about the cibbys? :laugh:

also, yes meanie, your favorite show is on again :lol:

nah vt250 is too low reving as it is, the rods/intake/exhaust/ignition would all need modifying, reckon somthing that'll get valve bounce at over 17k would be the one to try. How high does the cibbie go?

100 in first was just touching the red line. But as far as I am aware the later model/close ratio box had idiot ratios. The 18 inch rear prob didn't help....
Another 7hp is good! I want to throw a few more teeth on my rear sprocket or go down one at the front, it is too sad rolling on in top.
I have a dyno sheet for 55rwhp for a cibbie like mine, I expect mine will be 3-4 less as the dyno sheet I got was with an end can and k&n filter.

my bros only dyno'd 41hp so i'd be surprised if you cibbie gets over 50 as I thought it had less power when I rode it...
don't think a big bang conversion would be too hard, new cams (get an agressive grind on em) and change the ignition timing (course if it's wasted spark probably wouldn't even need to redo that), rest should be all good. Maybe update the exhaust to take advantage of it at some point too.

Yeah I'll have to throw her on the dyno. Where did you get yours done?
Yeah the cibbie is sluggish as hell until warm and over 7 grand....
The cibbie seems to go a bit better than I expected up the top. I'd be happy with near 50 at the wheel really.
I haven't though if it's wasted spark....hmmmm

yeh not your average two stroke exhaust note on that sucker! May not even cost too much as I know a guy who might be able to grind the cams, would just need to buy some blanks. Be fairly easy to tell if its wasted spark from a wiring diagram.

Struggle with the positioning of the M5's within the range of Metzler's a little, so are the M5's a Pilot Power 2ct equivalent?

From what I've heard about the Bridgy 016's they're good tires but wear out quickly. Given what i've tried so far the Road 2's Last very well and don't deteriorate into piles of puss half way through their life, all at a too outlandish price.
Something about the Metz M5's is appealing to me though, thanks to Cowboy's i'm sorted for my next set of tires but perhaps next time... Might go off in search of feedback about M5's and M8's...

Yod, might be worth a bash if it's only $33.50 the difference but look at the M8's too.

Edit: By the way Yod the M8's have the same tread pattern if that makes any difference to you, different carcass construction but similar execution.

Hypersport vs Touring? Z8 would be the PR2 equivalent I think?

yeah, it's more a case of "I've heard they're good but you just don't know how they'll last" but given it's positioning in the market, I'll bet your bottom dollar it doesn't last like a PR2

What are the Bridgestones like grip and wear-wise Owl? $418 is fekkin cheap! who's that from?

hadn't heard about the newer Sport Touring Metzeler, they could be the go, but probably same price as the M5....:blink:

Cycletreads as Sarge said. BT-016's I had were OEM tyres, so not really comparable and retail version could only be better. Grip was awesome though, wear not so flash (4000km).

I've never seen a Z8, only heard of them. New Plymouth Motorcycles stock a lot of Metzelers at very good prices. PR2 still ST king I reckon:yes:

[Flynn]

I got a set of PR2s sent to me from Cycletreads for 460 $ landed here, just to get them fitted now.

Put set or pair into trademe and you'll find them, ANZA quoted me 640$ just to buy them a couple of weeks ago, so I looked around and the guy from CTreads told me to look on TM.

I'd probably agree on that choice there...the Blackbird would be smoother and nicer to tour on I imagine.
I personally like twins more, but, I don't do much longer distance. I can't deny that the smooth power of the 4cyls are nice...but the noise and feel of a twin gives me a bone every time.

I love the smoothness and the (normally) seamless power delivery of of a four. Great for cruising all day on but in saying that twins (especially of the V variety) also have an effortlessness to them. At 4,500 the VTR is in a sweet spot that just plain feels great - it's also covering the ground :innocent: At any revs on the Connie it's in a sweet spot, at 4,500 - keep a very sharp eye out for :Police:

[ducatilover]

So I put another couple of hundred KM on the CB (I've decided CB is Curiously Beige) during the weekend and wasn't really enjoying it too much :facepalm: Couldn't be bothered trying to seek it's cornering prowess or throwing it down the gears to make it scream....Just pootled along and got bored. Something's wrong there....

Went on the BMW Z3 run on Sunday, met up with a few of the Z owners in Pahiatua and we had a nice spirited convoy down to Masterton, via Tirumea and Alfreton, I enjoyed the top down motoring more than riding the Cbeige. The Z3 was a major disappointment performance wise, the 1.9 is a horrid motor and the GM trans is beige, the early ones really don't handle like my E36 Msport coupe did, nor do they stop as well. But, nonetheless I had a great time, until I realised I had heat stroke....whoopsie! :blink:
Rode home on the Cbeige today, was okay. Just cruised along at the speed limit enjoying the sun, I'll give the Cbeige more time to see if it really grows on me.
I took it over the Saddle and the Pahiatua track on way way to/from Bunnythorpe. I still just tootled along, not slow, not any where near fast...
This is not too much of a good thing, I also want an MX5 :innocent:

Suddenly remembered this today, I think it's absolute brilliance. :innocent:

The Affluence of Incohol

I had eighteen bottles of whiskey and was told by my
wife to empty the contents down the sink or else. I
said I would and proceeded with this unpleasant task.
I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured it
down the sink, with the exception of one glass, which I
drank. I then withdrew the cork from the second bottle
and likewise with it, with the exception of one glass, which
I drank. I extracted the cork from the third bottle and
poured the glass down the sink, which I drank. I pulled
the cork from the fourth bottle down the sink and poured the
bottle down the glass, which I drank. I pulled the cork
from the next glass and drank one sink out it and threw the
rest down the bottle, which I drank. I pulled the sink
out the next glass and poured the cork down the bottle.
Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink
and drank the pour. When I had everything empty, I
steadied the house with one hand, counted the glasses,
corks, bottles, and sinks with the other, which was 29
and as the house came by I counted them again.

Finally, I had all the houses in one bottle, which I
drank. I'm not half as think you drunk I am. I fool
so feelish I don't know who is me and the drunker I stand
here the longer I get. I'm not under the affluence of
incohol as some tinkle peep I am.

Good bike, you can definitely notice it was designed back in the mid nineties but that said it goes well all the same, very stable. Motor is moderately powerful and reasonable low an mid torque, good brakes but they'd probably benefit from a freshen up and some braided lines by now as could the suspension too. Remember it rode pretty hard but I reckon if you got it for a song and spent some decent coin on the suspension it'd be a weapon, not the quickest handling sporting bike but it's not slow either, bank it over on it's side and it rails 'round corners.
Probably it's biggest down fall handling wise is going down hill into tight corners but on the flip side to that it's a dream going up hill, had some fun going up the Rimutaka's on that bike, had to lift my inside foot completely of the footpegs because they were folding up, very confidence inspiring going up hill. Seat comfort I never found to be that great and unless you're on open roads it could be hard on the wrists with the reach to the bars. If you wanted to get into sports riding on a bigger bike I'd recommend it, I had a ball on it.
