That was the bike mag?

eh? yea i just took photos of a bike mag.. Performance Bikes July 1993

There is another fookin cool build in here at the back, will take photos later after uni.. fellas making their own frames all over the place. This fella made almost the whole bike himself and the most expensive single part he had to fork out for was a cylinder rebore or something for 100quid.. rest he DIY'ed

[avgas]

I suppose I could buy a GB Honda, have always lusted after one and I could spend hours polishing it before I crash it? A GB with USD's and wire wheels = pure sex.

Do it. After owning 2 I would easily own another. And if someone clued up works the motor they get tight as and serious start to haul.
With a mild cam and hot CDI they sound bloody mint.
With upgraded forks and Konis/IKONS on the back they haul ass.

Not to mention all up they weigh less than a cup of tea.
Honda should remake it, at least the 400 version. The only other 400 single that I have ridden that comes close power wise was the DRZ. SRX, FT, SS 400's all fail in comparision to the little NC20.

Oh and the dual seat unit is actually more comfortable than the single seater.

That is all. Back to work.

Awesome stuff bro, I'm in love with that ZZXR600 thing

They're an epic bike, my uncle restored 2 GB500TTs in the late 90s, I've been hooked wince I first saw them.

for lack of a better place to post..



prob no hope in reading the text bits.. but he made a lot of bits himself or modded other bits etc.. all the body work/tank seat comes off in 2 minutes flat

[ducatilover]

Wicked looking beast that one!

Hoping my new temp gauge arrives soon, want to go for happy little rides as the weather is choice.
I think I have 4 different temp gauges for this bike

[Fast Eddie]

yea no temp gauge sucks.. on one the sidecar gave up last race meet.. I figure the swinger will let me know when the motor blows/catches fire.

will fix it another day.. too many things to do.

started welding up our custom race trailer! gonna be pimp.. incl winch to winch the sidecar on and off the trailer, lots of storage, fuel tank and pump. fully enclosed.. and lots more hehe been wanting a trailer for half a decade now

[ducatilover]

I've got temp gauges, I just don't like the look of them lol

I'm not fussy...

Trailers are for fags and shit eating monkeys, ride that thing on the road

[Fast Eddie]

haha, you're welcome to give it a whirl down a public road

last one of us that tried that ended up backwards in some trees.. and then in a helicopter.. and then in hospital for a little while

[ducatilover]

Sounds like a normal ride for me haha
I'm contemplating later model cams for this bike, but the 290 degree ones will be cunts coming on boost, the ones in it are a bit over 280, so not a heap of HP to be had anyway

[Fast Eddie]

waaapish.. yea they used to make a straight bolt on kit for my blade.. dunno if i can get my hands on one these days tho....

http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/cbr900.htm

they mention u can get a different radiator location so its not as fugly

I loved my turbo 550cc.. was quicker than 750 zxr h1 in a straight line. went bang pretty quick tho

[ducatilover]

Do it, every blade needs boost.
I'm hoping to do mine right and not need to explode the engine

Needs a build thread! I been wanting to do a trailer for a while, go all optimas prime transformers on that shit...

[ducatilover]

Agreed on the first part. I can only imagine how extreme a Bogan built trailer will be

ok will start build thread.. i dunno under which section since its not a bike but will find a spot.

yea mine should be fairly cool, 3.6m long, 2.0m wide, winch to drag up bikes/sidecar if your by yourself at home or last one at the track or something so can load and unload solo with no probs.

Fully enclosed, inside will have a fold down work bench, maybe a fold down bed for north island racing ventures in the future. plug sockets built in, prob hooked up to a bank of batteries or something. Haven't sussed all the finer details yet

def having an onboard fuel tank with fuel pump, and proper storage for spare wheels and tyres and spares for the bikes.. and tool boxes etc etc. Can't think of anything else for now, prob put little nipples on one side of the roof so we can extend a bit of a tarp/awning off the side as shelter in the pits with that half side of the trailer opening up a bit so we have access to bench space and tools.

yea

build thread will be clearer than my ramblings.. so far just the frame getting tacked up and choosing some rims. I want 17" mags but they will bounce everywhere on leaf springs eh?

[ducatilover]

I haven't taken pics of my beloved for a while, here we go chaps and chappettes, new guard on the front and...that's about it lol


Fuck I love that bike, it's almost perfect and will be once I finish with it
