[jodydid]

i started a thread on the last two forums only for them to shut down fingers crossed this one stays around long enough for me to finish the bike

this is the bike when i got it







then the strip down





found out it's got sp barrels and heads



back from the powder coaters



starting to get it back together all new seals and bearings










calipers paint stripper works great


all rolling time to build the engine







time for foot rests

What did you do with the USD forks?

[jodydid]

Sold them on eBay the alloy was really bad but the stantions were good

[rvt2002]

Ah would bought it.

Nice project.
I'm loving all the black, with the powder coated parts and painted chambers and mufflers...should look cool when it's all done.

[jcsnook]

Yes, very smart...coming along nicely!

[jodydid]

thanks for the comments i cant wait to get it done im doing it in kenny roberts colours from the anniversary r1 so all the black will go well with the yellow

[jodydid]

ordered a cbr 1000rr rear shock yesterday should be here this week and finished the foot rests off(pics to follow)

Nice progress!   Are you painting the stock plastics? Just asking because that cyan color scheme is quite rare, you may consider keeping them stock and getting some pattern plastics?

ordered a cbr 1000rr rear shock

Aha, that will go nicely with your black poudercoated frame

[jodydid]

how much would the std plastics be worth?? i have got everything minus the front guard i have thought about getting the aftermarket ones do they fit well enough?

[jodydid]

latest photos carbs on cbr1000rr shock fitted loosely and foot rest hangers on

[jodydid]

had some time off last few weeks so done a bit more work remounted the rear shock with spacers
fitted the loom,battery box,new master cylinder,number plate bracket and the throttle cables hope to have the switches and handlebars all done this week

here it is so far

i have had a change of heart with the colour i was going to paint the genuine farings but it is in the rare green colour so i am going to get the std paint refreshed and re laquered

so will look like this but with black wheels and frame hopefully it will look good

[rvt2002]

Looking good

The Cyan Green is by far the best colour, good job
