ZXR h1 rat fighter - stages 2 & 3

**hmmmnz** · 13th October 2007, 05:56

well any way i thought i would post my progress over the last few months.
how it was when i bought it

stage 2 was the seat unit
this is how it was last seen by you lot

then i did some cutting ect
and put a different seat unit on
the cutting of the subframe

and the seat unit

and with the exhaust stubbied

i also changed the radiator to a larger one with a top mounted filler,
but you'll see that in stage 3 below

**hmmmnz** · 13th October 2007, 06:15

stage 3 starts with this little bad boy

a triumph sped triple single sided swing arm,
knowing what i know now i would have gone for a vfr750/800 arm as its alot narrower than the speed triple arm, which reuired me to mill it down and re-inforce it as it was quite thin
any way pics

after milling and welding

the other side

a bit of a test fit

**hmmmnz** · 13th October 2007, 06:25

here is the grinding to get the clearance needed

and here it all on, with bearings to fit the zxr axle, and a good clean up
from the side

from the back

and from the other side

i have the rear sprocket on now, and am getting custom made dog bones to fit,
and then she'll almost be done for this stage,

and if any one says ive ruined a perfect classic race bike, then they can just suck my $%^&

Nice one... that looks really good

**hmmmnz** · 13th October 2007, 06:41

cheers, it'll be good to be back on the road

life is a bit slow on the mighty 76cb250

Bro that looks mean!

I thought where are you going here? With the swing arm, but it looks great and I bet it will wheelie in any gear now.
Good work.
I am going to be trying this with an rvf.

**hmmmnz** · 13th October 2007, 11:29

i thought the rvf already had a single sider on them??

yeah i dare say she'll be a bit odd to start with as the wheel base is about 5-6cm shorter than standard (depending on the axle position)
but i have slightly upgeared it, so it shouldnt be too bad,

Lol. No i mean the streetfighter thing. I have a bike but no fairings or the like.

**hmmmnz** · 13th October 2007, 11:45

ooh ok,
yeah its the way foward,
join up with http://www.nzstreetfighters.com or http://www.streetfighters.com.au
and you'll get some good advice,
i go lots of stick from this site when i started to street fight mine,
but every one from those 2 sites were really supportive and gave some really good ideas

Such is life around here.
You'd be stoked now with what you have to show off to the "stick givers"

Mate. Did ya get rid of the GS? ZXR's coming along

**TLMAN** · 13th October 2007, 16:01

Looks like you need to find you a house with a garage to get your bikes out of that fine scottish weather!

You've ruined a perfect classic race bike!

i dunno where your scarf is

but the fairings are still sitting here

found out why the gs was running rough when you had it

my little bro has it now he's up the north of scotland hooning about on it,
handy having a few spare bikes i tell ya

Looks like you need to find you a house with a garage to get your bikes out of that fine scottish weather!

i wish

no one over here has them, deviant will vouch for that

You've ruined a perfect classic race bike!

as above

Could ya possibly arrange to get the fairings shipped over... that is, if you don't want them? It just so happens that there's a KB member not far from me who would make good use of them, as he has the same year ZXR as yours but an inconsiderate German tourist damaged his fairings for him. Naturally he'd pay for the shipping... and if my scarf magically turned up I wouldn't complain

If it's too much hassle, no worries I guess.
