I know I'm digging up an old thread, but I read the entirety of this build a few years ago and was blown away, however after finding it again so I could recommend it to a friend as a great example how to build a composite tank, I have only just realised exactly how much this actually influenced...

Re: Chuck in your 2 cents, new seat design. UPDATE: FINISHED SEAT/TAIL Guess i should give some closure to this thread even though its been almost two years since i last posted. basically I spent a year doing up the bike and finished it 3 days before leaving the country for an unknown length of...

Yeah i know what you mean regarding the required effort! the gb's arent so rare here in NZ so since i have 2 more brackets im hoping to make a few more of the seat and sell them to recoup a bit of my investment. I have used the styrene based foam and epoxy method then melted out the foam with...

Hi guys, merry xmas and thanks for the kind words! Sorry i havent replied for so long, there has actually been quite a bit of progress just with xmas familly travels i haven't been able to load it up. I will post a propper update with pics soon. @ Rich ard, I could easilly design the brackets...

I got a mate that works for a metal fabricating company to lasercut and fold me some brackets that I designed on cad, so I can mount the seat and use the original hinge and latch, I got them made from stainless so I wouldn't have to mess with coating them but being 5mm plate they sure are solid...

Thanks for the image Tip CanyonCarver I'll give it a go. @Moto Noob, I could easily fit a full size battery and all the electrical bits in the tail I reckon but I'm not going to for this bike as I really want to be able to easily switch between the single and double seat. The Mrs likes to come...

First big mistake of the build, mixed up 200ml epoxy and fairing powder to peanut butter like consistency, started fairing the blank and the pot went off wayyy to fast! started smoking and nearly caught fire! had to fill the tub with water and put it out on the brick patio. After this lot...

Doing the ton on the centre stand - size tesing. Starting to agree with the suggestions regarding the longer seating area, just realised i haven't left much space for seat padding - Doh!

Glassing the Blank. I'm getting this message all the time so have to try multiple times to get an image to load up: Your attachment couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow. Please consult your server administrator...

Some build shots, I'm struggling with getting the images to load up... I'm sticking to the size limits etc but it keeps failing, if anyone has any tips let me know :)

Thanks for the Feedback guys! For some reason the replies hadn't come through to my email, so I've been powering on with the design. Had I seen what had been suggested I think I would have made the seating area a bit bigger :-\ but I'm alot further along now so ill just have to see how it...

WOW!!! That looks so good! :o 8)

Hi Guys, I've been a long time reader here on DTT and have messed around with a couple of bikes. I've recently aquired a GB400 thats been in the familly since new however being a industrial/product designer I don't like to leave anything standard if I can make it better or faster. I got the...

Reviving this because its a great source of inspiration both for lights and Tail designs! Here's Mine with my tail / lack thereof. Im Currently searching for inspiration for a custom tail and lighting setup for a GB400 I've just aquired Entire setup is custom, I designed and made everything...

Re: My Suzi T500 Project (The Build Up Begins!) Noooo! I've read to the end and now I have to wait in real time for the awesomeness to evolve! Seriously though, Thanks for the great reading so far and congrats the bike looks amazing. I hope the oil pump issue is an easy fix.
