my winter project

[Wishbone]

so i started today tearing down the fizza so i could get the forks off, but thats just the begining

it starts


fairing gone



tank and forks off



front view



forks before GMD magic



and finally the pile of parts

[union]

You had to pull the entire triple off to get the forks off or are you doing something else?

[Wishbone]

i figured while i was at it replace the steering head bearings

[breakdirt916]

ohh...nice picture story

what else is getting done?

[Wishbone]

rear view camera, brembo master cylinder, heated grips, heated seat with more cushion and upholstered, stainless lines, better pads (not sure what type) forks gold valved with new springs, penske shock, new paint (house of kolors) new pegs, r1 carbs (there 3mm bigger) and gunna try to put the exhaust under tail

i think that all

[Currently]

You are looking at half the price of a new bike!

Lot of work and lot of parts ...

[Wishbone]

but its fun

i could buy a new R1 and it would be worth more but i like the saying built not bought

so yes i am nuts and i will never get back what i put in but it will be custom and mean alot more to me

[Wishbone]

the next steps has begun!!






some clown put a damn sticker on my forks


this is what i went for



gonna port the boots while at it (5hp on the top end gain)



and finally making some carbon fiber tid bits

[JohnnyV]

Gonna be sweet once it's done..... still gonna rock the highway-peg frame sliders? Those things were massive

[Wishbone]

yeah i got pointed in the wright direction on the slidders

i thought if a little slider sticking out was good than alot sticking out was better

[Wishbone]

i wanted cyclecat or heli bars but couldn't find the wright size

[JohnnyV]

How will those clipons work below the upper clamp like that with your fairings? You check it all for clearance yet? Also, thinkin of doing anything with the rearsets? Ergos might be a bit awkward with the bars that low and the pegs still set forward

[Wishbone]

havent yet checked the fairing clearances and i think the rear sets should be fine, and if not it will have to wait cause my budget can't afford another 4-5 hundred

[Hoser]

Hey Putz, are those the Ti Bars? Let me know how the Clip-ons work out.

Keep In Touch With Yourself ( like I have to tell ya)

[Wishbone]

Get the New R1..

why? i do love the new R1 but, im learning alot about bikes doing this and when im done i will be pushing in the neighborhood of 150 at the rear wheel on a sport touring bike!

plus it unique

hey hoser welcome aboard, and now they are just regular woodcraft clip-ons

[Hoser]

Oh .....thats right......I forgot you live in Wooster. Only one question per reply.


I'll talk a little slower ......what.......... are ............ you .......... doing ........ with......... the........ Ti-Bars?

[Wishbone]

ti bars? sorry i dont know what those are im getting rid of the low rise bars i had, the stock ones are already gone. and finally im using clip-ons and taking out the risers

[The Snowman]

Looking good, John. My CBR will be heading to Peter's in a month or so for some much needed maintenance.

[Punjistick]

Ti = titanium

[Wishbone]

Ti = titanium

kind of thought so but got confused because i never had TI bars, just silver painted ones

and chuck don't be scared you can do your own maintenance, unless its suspension stuff

[The Snowman]

chuck don't be scared you can do your own maintenance, unless its suspension stuff

You could call me Lane Myers (Better Off Dead reference), I have a great fear of tools.

[Hoser]

Hey,
I drove over the Hill on my way home from Auburn. Instead of taking Shrewsbury St. I went to Rte 9.

I want to see the Ported Boots. I assume your gouging them out with a Dremmel?

Your really going to like Ivan's Kit........So smooooth on acel and decel. It just pulls and pulls.......and keeps pulling until you shift. I have a Carb Sync if you need one.

[Wishbone]

well if you got of the highway on 9 you were looking at my house

ill let you know when there done so you can check em out (just gotta polish em)

and i got dale's kit, not ivans. so we'll have to try each other bike's. you got ivans kit with the yoshi full system and gmd forks with the penske out back. ill have the holeshot pod kit, full system, and gmd magic

[Wishbone]

carbon fibered some stuff today and finished my intake boots











half sanded tank







so what do ya all think? carbon fiber look good? im new at it so give me a break

and bosshogg i don't think i would like to go street fighter, im heading in the other direction

[Hoser]

You have a Holeshot Full System? A High Mount?

I was thinking about going to the "Start Racing" seminar at Peters............for something to do......not to race
