ducatilover's squidtastic pile of crap

[banditrider]

Have you gone too far to go in this direction with your build?

[ducatilover]

I'd ride the shit out of that. Hmm I do have some ZZR400 pistons, that'd be a start

Damn, what a piece of machinery! Kinda hard to see how it could actually work and ya gotta think, what was he thinking when he conceived it

I have a feeling a mudguard IS a legal requirement, I dont think it would look quite right without one.
cant help but think that it needs a screen too, even just a low one that curls around the tach/speedo.

looking good though

It'd be a pretty minimal screen, but I think you're right and I do want it as tidy/clean as possible.

I'll make a mudguard, small cafe-esque unit

I got a new soldering iron today.
Speedo unit is now mounted up and I'll get in to wiring the headlight in (unless I get distracted...)

I know it is hard to believe, but I got distracted.
So, I plastic welded the nipple on the coolant overflow in a different position and measured the 2lb artillery shell up that will be the coolant reservoir.
Made the speedo brackets pretty, hummed and ahhed a bit about putting digital temp gauge in where the normal one sits.
Fitted a clutch cable I have three or four floating around
Speedo cable fitted.

Had a retard moment, I forgot to buy solder with the soldering iron and I only have non-flux wire and no bloody flux. Fluxing idiot!

Hayd3n on here made a few different screens for his hornet, all very minimal, all a bit different from each other, and all looked really good, made PM him for some pics/ideas. He could even make you one for a few bourbons, seeing as he is an awesome plastic fabricator/welder by trade

[ducatilover]

Good idea dude, I need a front guard too Better get some bourbons going.
I'll wait 'till the cluster is finished as we have seen how bloody often I change my mind

[ducatilover]

I love it when the mail man comes. I'm using the commuter vehicle budget though

Brakes are bolted in and looking nice.
Engine covers now have cap screws, no more ugly bolts.
Got some polishing to do and a shit load of sand paper

[blackdog]

Burn the commuter budget dude, you are a fortnight away from sploodge.

Why not a V8 while your at it?

That's what I'm thinking
Getting fork rebuild bits priced up, looks like I can do seals/bushings/fluid for around $110, which I'm happy with.
There's a fuck cheap GN near me, will bid on it. If I win it, tidy it up - sell it, ride real bike.

Need to find a sheet of alloy to make the undertail.
Stealing some F/Glass from Bogan to make my front guard, cheaper and sexy, that's how I roll.
Wiring is nearly done:
Headlight plug to be fitted (GN headlight runs a stupid bulb so I had to switch plugs.)
Throw the new indicator unit in when that arrives.
RFID unit from Imdying to be fitted.
reg/reg isn't wired up.
Temp/volt meters.
So, that's a few hours work assuming something doesn't distract me
I do love having all this time and space at the moment!
