so by popular demand.. of one person.. and my boredom i've started a thread..
bit late to the party.. as I started this last winter.. so ill do a bit of a debrief. well copy/paste shit from another forum..
so.. to start it off, bought the bike in july or june.. it came 'streetfightered' well over here that pretty much means any bike without a fairing, which also means stunt bike apparently. paid 1000 dollars for it.. so around 550 pounds ish.. It was pretty ratty but came with a few good parts.. the 750 front end and a k4 ti header etc.
took about a month to get it where I thought it was at least rideable, bike came with new cables so I threw them on, made some risers so I could run bars.. took about 3 cans of degreaser/brake cleaner to get it somewhat clean, did a full service.. valves/clutch/carbs etc.. added a speedo as the stock clocks didn't really work, added a tls fender which fits.. but doesn't really fit tlr's/gsxrs, couple other things here and there..
for the rest of the summer didn't do alot to it, polished the frame while waiting for carb parts.. which can be hard to get in canada fml. painted the wheels a nice hi viz green, added some braided lines, made a new muffler.. think racefit.. but a real racefit costs just as much as the bike did so that wasn't happening. added a trailtech speedo which is heaps better than the bicycle speedo and only 4 times the cost, threw on some ebay headlights.. probably missing a couple other things..
took it off the road over winter.. not that it snows here.. but it is very very wet and I don't like getting wet much. just been working cleaning more stuff up, re did most of the wiring, everything lives under the carbs/tank now including the battery, made a new subframe for a flat track style seat re doing the front end to a number plate kind of deal to match the tail. trying to lighten it up as much as i can within a decent budget, it weighed 390 wet at the end of last summer, if I can get that to 375 ish I'd be pretty happy. Got a hold of some protek rearsets to replace the mismatched ones, new LED turn signals/brake lights.. thinking of covering the tank in carbon just so it matches the other body work.
