NSR FXR, the new No45

[richban]

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

The trick is don't say nothing till you got lots of bits. All the bits came from different locations for mine. Frame Japan, Swing arm different guy Japan, front end and rear shock NZ. All the other bits I had in the shed ether on the floor or on the old 45. Back to the shed now got to make a new gear lever. I new that skill saw guide would come in handy one day.
She has gained some weight now complete. Need a lighter exhaust. Bike is 92kg now same weight as me. Lucky the quick engine is 2kg lighter and a new muffler should get it back in the 80's. Time to do my own MTB rear break conversion. Got all the bits, I just need the time.

Just noticed that my sponsor has the hairpin now. Will try not to crash there again. Man B track is some fast fun.

I noticed as well.
Could you link your Vid from last time. i can't remember where it was.

Yeah Greg is just winding me up to light my fire. Either that or one of the cats scratched him
But yeah I shouldn't have said anything until it was complete.

What sort of MTB is it cable? I was looking a a thumb throttle on an ATV today reversed around it would be an easy thumb brake.....

Shimano do one But the avid is better. I don't actully use my rear break at all unless its raining. And then hardly at all.

New shfter all sorted.

have you got a chain slider yet?

i wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the caliper set up.
My foot is clumsy with the brake.
but then again you have one of those Diesel exhaust brakes as well i guess.

Chain slider in the bin. Making a new one.

Caliper setup? At the moment it is RS250 style. MTB version coming later. Just google Avid cable disc breaks. The good thing about the cable is it will be easy to setup the foot controls.

Sorry i thought you were do the Thumb set up

[richban]

Nah I don't think that setup would be that good at all. To busy hanging on and using the clutch into corners to worry about thumb breaks. If you did do it hydraulic would be the go. Not enough leverage for a cable job. Ok for the foot though.

Anyone got a clue as to where I can wire in my new kill switch. At the moment it is a go switch. Don't fancy holding the button down for the whole race.

Help help. I don't want to kill my CDI by accident.

Wire it from the signal wire that goes to the coil to earth. That should do the trick.

Go and buy an after market head light switch that switches the right way.

I had a suggestion to us the low voltage wire form the stator coil. Might try that first.

Sorted. Spliced into the green wire from engine to CDI. And kill switch earthed to frame.

Never been a fan of shorting out the ignition myself.

If you run a battery, use a normally closed relay and you're away laughing as a power feed.

Just picked up the swing arm from the water cutting dude's. They rule for sure. Matt was fixing the rear axel hangers as an unnamed person totally messed them up. No it was not me. Anyway now she will be bolted up proper and we are ready for a track visit. Can't wait to see how it all come together from hear. Still not sure if the spring rates are correct but will know soon enough. Also will need some dyno time with the new engine and carb. Will post another pic on Sunday.

Nice work Rich. Now really looking forward to seeing it in the flesh (now not in bits sitting over the shed)..



Where's the updates Rich; should be all together now...
