Bucket project progress

[Moooools]

Thanks to everyone who suggested Cycleworks to me. They did an amazing job mounting the engine and fitting the mufflers.
Even managed to use original mounts for mufflers, clear the clutch lever on the engine and make the stock gear shift rod line up. Very impressive.

Making some good progress now, need to make a loom and do the fuel lines, get another slick, fit the fairing and paint.

Anyway here are some pics of the work from Cycleworks.

That's a very neat looking package. I think that combo will make a very good Bucket.........I am impressed

I was just talking to Damon, he was quite interested in how its gonna go.
Looks promising so far and it'll be good to see it on track.

More grease required on the carpet. Get a man on it.

After a long couple of days with a mate making a loom from scratch, cleaning out the carbs, making a clutch cable mount for the engine and sorting the wee issue with the head I posted in another thread; it runs!

Still a bit smoky and in need of some jetting, but it is nice to see (and hear!) it go.

Anyway here is a video of it in action:

Thought I would post some update pics on this thread rather than my current one.

Now has a new top end. Nearly running properly apart from some carb issues.
I got sick of carbs so decided to fit the fairing. The TZR is tall at the front, and so the belly pan of the RS125 fairing needed some 'performance modifications'.

The front of the belly pan will need to be cut away as the wheel touches when the forks are compressed.

It doesn't look half bad though. A bit of strategic paint will help it out. Starting to look like a race bike.

What do you think?

I think it need paint next
dont worry about the engine you dont want to scratch the paint



the bike looks good

[Moooools]

Yeah. I don't know about the engine. Seems a bit irrelevent. I could always just push it round.

But the engine was really pissing me off and it is more of a weekend job. So while I had a bit of time I decided to fit the fairing.

The bike will get wrecked eventually, but for the purposes of my CV for FSAE at auckland uni in a few years I thought it would be better to go for the race bike look.

Looks great... your garage has a TV.... wheres the beer fridge?

Whats the colour going to be?

[Moooools]

Yeah the we are into our cycling. So the TV is for when we are training indoors.

Colours?.... Wellington College of course. If I can be stuffed it will be: Tri-colour white-black-yellow wheels, White and yellow body work with black details. Cut some vinyls out on the laser cutter at school, stylized school crest perhaps. Something to take up the side of the fairing.
