TYGA style NC29 CBR400RR

[slydesigns]

The JadedBlade NC29 build has begun, with a 12 day deadline to attend Menies Great Coro Loop ride next weekend. No pressure.

Progress after last nights efforts:
Day 1

Shift-i system fitted.

HEL Green/black braided lines fitted.

Wave rear brake rotor fitted.

Front wave rotors... are too big. Forgot I have an NSR front endwith 272mm discs and not NC29 296mm ones bugger. Off to see an engineer to fab and cert some relocating mounts for the calipers.

Fairings, lights and brackets stripped off and boxed for sale or a rainy day project.

Wiring stripped out of subframe and brackets modified.

Subframe repainted.

Wiring rerouted.

TYGA RC211V fairings and accessories fitted up.

V-can green mixed up ready for spraying.

Day 2...

Need to lay up masks for graphics and decals as well as remove the front end for the engineer to make the caliper mounts.
Remove fairings and prep fopr paint.
Sand tank for paint.
Order new Dunlop GPRA-10's and some brake pads.
Plastic weld Mellissa's ZXR fairings, swap out her steering bearings and sort out the spongey front brake she moans about.
Change oil in both bikes.
Reorder the CORRECT foot peg (have two rights, no left) and the CORRECT front fender (NSR not NC29 CBR) and screen (I asked for a tint and got a clear) and hope it all arrives on time.

Photos uploading now.

Its being done quick because I have built a ton of cars and have help on a few D1NZ drift car and NZPC/Rev Mag cover car builds and have seen what happens when a project drags on. I prefer to get in, go hard and then get it back on the road or track where it belongs asap.

The last major done to my car included: body kit repairs, New engine and clutch, Painting/colour coding of engine, gearbox, engine bay bonnet underside and boot as well as fitting a second nitrous system. All this was done in 3 days and 3 nights, from Friday to Sunday. Had a team of skilled hands crawling all over and under it, had some great BBQ's and the end result rocked!

Do you have your own shop or you work for someone?

Cause if you're looking at hiring, I'd be keen to move next to the race track :p Though I've just applied for Weltec (automotive refinishing) which I'll probably stick to anyway.

Awwwwesome

Was the CBR an insurance wreck?

[slydesigns]

HELL NO! It was immaculate when I bought it off DucatiGirl. Still pretty much is and goes DAMN well!
I just dropped it a while back on a Kiwibiker outing... at 5kph on the damn grass like a noob!

AAGGGHHHHHH! I thought I had 12 days for some stupid reason!

[Coyote]

Why go for TYGA fairings? Those CBR's look good original.

Just curious, not knocking the TYGA fairings cause I'd have them if I could get them.

[slydesigns]

1. I hate the big fat ass and upright front on the old 90's bikes
2. I love the 400 and so needed to modernise it alittle
3. Nothing I've EVER owned has remained stock.

I'm searching for a 99 NC29 CBR400RRR as a replace ment for the double R, so all this work can be transplanted to the newer bike very simply.

[Coyote]

I know what you mean by big arse and flat front. Though I remember Morcs old VFR had a cool front, looked like a stock front but the nose pointed out and the lights were further back in it.

I'd be getting a TYGA tail but I don't want to loose the back seat since I often take pillions. Do you know if the CBR subframe could fit onto a VFR?

Nothing I've owned has remained stock, the modification process hurts a bit.

[slydesigns]

No idea, I can ask Paul at TYGA for you tonight if you wish

[Coyote]

No idea, I can ask Paul at TYGA for you tonight if you wish
That would be good, cheers. I had given them an email about it, didn't get an answer back.

Ok... Paul has nothing for a twin seat VFR ... yet, and the NC 29 subframe wont fit, its got a narrower waist.

however... he did send me these pics of his clay mockup for a "work in progress" NC30/NC35 Twin Seat kit.

Darn. Ah well, I'm fine with the current style tail for now anyway.

Not sure what I think of the mock up, suppose it's got potential and just looks a bit funny since it hasn't been tidied up yet.

[slydesigns]

Tonights progress.

Its all pre clear coat.

I'm fitting the fairings up for placing on the new decals so it can be cleared over tomorrow.

Its 11.13pm and I still have the better halfs ZXR to do a steering bearing change on next.

[slydesigns]

Main graphics applied

[breakaway]

Looking great! May I ask where you got the graphics / fairings from?

[crazybigal]

what are you using for headlights?

[R6_kid]

go back through the pics and you'll see that the tyga kit comes complete with headlights

[slydesigns]

Kit is from TYGA in Thailand.
I made the graphics myself. I run Asylum Art

[crazybigal]

sorry i couldnt see them in his photos
I found the kit online, does it come with a front guard? the on on the uk tyga site doesnt show one.

direct - www.tyga-performance.com

[slydesigns]

You deal direct with Paul the owner.

Its still expensive at $2200 for everything I bought, but they threw in a few free carbon parts and both a clear and a tinted screen.

[slydesigns]

all finished for now

[deanohit]

Very cool man, love that shade of green! :headbang:

[scracha]

Blingo. Looks the shizzle. Can I borrow it for the VMCC :apint:

[Clivoris]

Sure, it's pretty alright. Wont be as fast as a yellow one though.

Nice work mate. Great looking package.

[scracha]

Will be if you're not riding it Clive :devil2:

[slydesigns]

The chick that used to own it used to do pretty good in the Vic series, I think she goes by Ducatigirl on here. However as to loaning it? Ahhhh no, I'd rather be racing it myself.

[slydesigns]

This was her and the bike before I bought and altered it

[DEATH_INC.]

It's actually Draco who owned it.
She's not run it in VMCC, but she did pretty damn good in her first ever race in clubmans at the PMCC last year, and was a demon on the road on it.
You got a bloody good bike there, I usta love riding it.
Nice job with the mods, looking good.
If ya need any info on it, just drop me or Draco a pm.

[R6_kid]

I followed a green honda accord(?) with nos bottles in the back window the other day... was one of your creations yeh?

[Coyote]

Will there be a chance to see this bike in the flesh? Possibly at Manfeild?

[slydesigns]

make that a triple post!

[slydesigns]

damn... double posted

[slydesigns]

That would be one of mine. NYTRIS Plates? Thats the last one I sold, the one this bikes based on.
Just bought another one (a wagon this time - have a manual 5 spd, an H22a DOHC VTEC and a C's Supercharger waiting for this ones enginebay to become free) as well as a second NC29 for the "wife to be"... the madness continues.

Sorry, yeah DRACO aka Jen, ducatigirl was her email. The bikes bloody fantastic! Would like to know what year and spec the NSR was that donated the forks though. Want to uprate them and need to know what I have to start with.

Also, whats the PMCC? And what events can I compete in with this bike and a "year old new to road" rider - I've been racing MX and SX for 20 years plus and want to try a few club road events.

scored another NC29 for Lisy....nice


what paint is that getting?

[slydesigns]

was going to do the ZXR in the same colours as the JadedBlade but I'm not sure what we will do with this NC29. Something though as its a hideous Camel Racing Orange and black. One option in the mean time is to fit it up with my old fairings as that wasn't so in your face as this orange THING.

Know anyone in Auckland or going to Auckland that wants to bring it home (ride it or trailer it) for us? We'll pay.

His page on the TYGA site lists it as:
"FOX TC-R Piggyback Pro Racing Rear Shocks, Fully Adjustable"
They are a lightweight aluminium/titanium fully adjustable unit. Nice...
