yes I wont be bored this winter,once I have all the parts I need for the rear-end I can knock it out in a arvo...in the meantime I will have too go back too work for more motorcycle token's

Makes me want to quit this pointless uni rubbish and restore the ZZR400K, Hagon shock, paint, anything perishable replaced with a fresh 600D motor and CBR/VTR Nissin front callipers!

Haha...well the alloy swing arm is now polished and I am waiting on needle bearings and dust seals for the rear suspension....thats the problem with wanganui it takes longer too get the parts in than it does to do the actual job

A bit like ordering bits from the states...and HK. The anticipation is massive! I can't wait to have the ZZR running and tuned, in the meantime I may pull the rear end apart and re-bush it etc. It's dirty in there (Being the arse of the bike....) and a spit/polish will make it pretty.
Oh and one of my chain tensioner bolts is munted....

Well things have been going well,after finally getting the last of the needle bearings on back order,the rear suspension is back together and sub frame attached.....

Last night we picked up a doner bike rather cheap but with a near new Battery and pirelli sport demon on the rear 17" wheel and near new rotors front and rear measuring 5mm(ours are 3mm) it was a bargin at $255 and has just put us months ahead in the rebuild process....and I also get alot of parts for the CB500 project double score

the donor bike



Problem now is I have too head away for 2 weeks But I will have all the the new muffler and replecement tail farning pieces when I get back

So what too do with the remainder of the Donor bike?????it has been susgested that we could turn it into a trackday bike or we just sell what we dont need making it a even cheaper rebuild than first budgeted for......

CBR400 $400
Donor $255
Bearings,seals & paint $350
Muffler $100
fuel Tap $ 40
mirrors $ 50
Rear farnings $110
Air Filter $ 60

[ducatilover]

Bloody hell you're doing good! The ZZR600 owes me nearly $1700 now and I have to throw a new black rubber bit on the round thing at the back

sweet...should keep an eye out myself then, I was looking for a cbr400 originally before going with the vfr...

If you don't mind me asking..why does the cbr250r there have dual front disks? didn't the mc19 (the single R) have a single front disk?

have too ask the engineer's that one,Maybe they thought they could save wait,I have a MC19 front end on a CB250rs frame just waiting to get the front disc as I am using a XR hub which is 4 bolt and it needs to be offset so the caliper clears the spokes I know EBC do them @400 each rotor lucky I only need 1

MC17 brakes didn't stop as well as the 19, more efficient design, the 17 disks are small, the 22 was the best of the bunch.
