NSR FXR, the new No45

**richban** · 26th August 2012, 16:40

Ok So it goes. Now just need to make it stop. Will figure the kill switch later. Lots of little things to tidy up but its ridable now. Not raceable.

Need to borrow a 10mm fine thread tap. Got a little hot welding in the last bolt mount on the subframe.

More pics. Needs a paint.

even at the best of times they move . l try to weld as much as possable before removing of the gig which most the time is the engine because of been one off all the time. you only have to have the frame 1mm out and they dont fit.

Gee might i need to buy some more then.
No the progress is real slow on Vanessa might pop over for a look though. I even hear there may be some ancient Harley look a like GN125 running there.
Even having Vanessa ready for the GM street racing is looking like it might not happen.

Then again looking at Richs bike might give me some enthusiasm to give someone a gee up.
The chassis is only a couple of days work I have a list of parts to collect that's not too long, so who knows....

Bloody hell, I could build a complete bucket between now and Greymouth....Vanessa is starting to remind me of the picture of Cook Neilson's HD Sporty drag bike published in Cycle mag when he was the editor....he took credit for the rear fender brace and wiring the kill switch...but it was "all his own work".....
Actually, depending on what gets dropped off here next week, I may really have to build a complete bucket.....

Meowlllllll.........Bloody hell.
Mrs Grumph must gave you a one hell of a dirty Look today Greg.

Firstly i I resent that comparison to Mr Neilson because i don't spelk wull anough to be a edikor.

Problem i have is the engine is in Tauraunga.
Also remember these artistic engineering types work at there own pace
It Needs destroking, deboring and replating that takes time and $$$$$$$.

I am quite happy to get someone else to do the real intricate stuff for me.
while i can weld use a lathe and mill for basic stuff
I may also be an idiot, but i am an idiot who know his limits!!!!!
Remember the bits are from all over the world.Getting all the parts together has been bloody time consuming.
The build is starting not from a donor bike but well a base of zero (ok i had a few bits like Brake and disks levers etc already)

Besides if everyone could do it all themselves, i guess you would be out of a job

lastly if you were going to build a complete bucket between The BOB i will get you a 50kg of mild steel,an ingot of aluminum alloy, some copper plus a few KG of Rubber.
That will be a bike you completely build your self then won't it.
