ducatilover's squidtastic pile of crap

[Parlane]

It's wheelie fuckin' great. I should get out to the garage though and stop being lazy

You obviously need a better setup:

[ducatilover]

We have Wifi in the garage, but, my laptop is broken and I'm not getting the MacBook Pro dirty

[ducatilover]

Motor is out, frame thrown in the spare garage.



There's a whole bike in part on those shelves

[dogsnbikes]

Dude!!!What you need is a engine dolly

[ducatilover]

I need money, then I can get an engine dolly

Pulled the ZXR bearings off the triples and figured out after much heat and swearing that the ZZR stem is larger, so I need to find bearings that fit or sleeve the ZXR stem.

[ducatilover]

Progress!!!!!


Step back..... Subframe bottom mount. Too bad, will go through the frame and mount the bottom bars in a prettier place.

Have the tank/tail unit sitting on it again.

[Oblivion]

I bet that will not be the last broken thing that you'll find. I can guarantee it.

Bling for a wheelie good read.

Just call it a spare bit

as for the dolly build one (4 caster wheels and a solid platform)

oh just an idea but best you look at this

I broke it bending the bottom arm for the subframe...was too lazy to take it off

Cheers

I might look in to making one! It's a good idea, I could throw the whole thing on there instead of making a rolling chassis that I have to take apart again to clean/grease/break.
Does it have wind up wheels? Because that would be very, very fun.

Got her dummied up yesterday with it sitting at around about the right height to have a feel of the riding position, which is...um......extreme Should be....interesting on my fucked back....

Gives an idea of what it's going to look like too, especially when I rolled the rear wheel in the back there. The rear will be about 3/4-1 inch lower and the front about 1/2-3/4 higher if I want it to be. I may set up the subframe so I can adjust the seat height.


I painted the shock matte black, because it's cool. Will pull it apart again and do the spring red. I think a new shock is on the "one-day" list though, something sexy with a remote reservoir.


More thoughts, suggestions, abuse, titty pics and ladies cell numbers?

[ducatilover]

I got my arse end assembled today, still need a welder for the subframe Changed the tyre over to the good rim, swore at my hand, smoked a lot and got it done Pushed it outside to have a wank and whatnot.

Any thoughts?

Forgot to get a photo with the headers, oil cooler and radiator on.
Have to modify where the thermostat sits.

Tomorrows list;
Loom.
Rear brake.
Wank over it more and there was something else I have forgotten

[bogan]

looks good as! did the axle line up all good with bushings and speedo drive etc?

Front axle lines up, rear lines up. When you're around next I'll get you to have a look at it though, I don't trust my judgement

Yeh we can just get some calipers onto various fork bits, should be able to figure out if the offset is the same. Pity we can't measure the old stuff in situ

We could stick the for....wait.... The calipers won't bolt on...yet. Between the caliper mounts on the fork lowers there's about 5mm clearance each side
