I just ran across this forum today and this place is great, so I thought I would show off my latest project.
I started in November with only a untitled parts bike(engine, frame, swingarm, electrical) and a titled frame. This is my progress to date.
I was originally planning on starting on this later this summer, but I decided to go ahead and get started competing in a build-off on another forum. So Im trying to build a complete bike by May 26th. It should be a lot of fun, and I am surprisingly ahead of schedule an on budget. So here's what Ive been playing with.
Juggernaut
1981 Yamaha XS1100SH
The plan:
'02 Hayabusa forks and rear shock
Carbon fiber fender
03 FJR1300 swingarm/final drive/rear wheel
Monoshock conversion
Ducati Monster carbon fiber fairing w/ 7" round HID headlight
Dual stainless exhust
ZX-14 radial brake and clutch MC's with hydro clutch conversion
Tail still undecided
Lots of custom work and badassery
When I started in November, I had a untitled frame, engine, and wiring harness as well as a clean titled frame.
Started modifying the good frame
FJR1300 swingarm pivot axle, machined and rethreaded to fit the XS frame.
Headlight mounted with Ducati headlight bracket
Stainless mufflers, debadged. The midpipes and header will be chromed before the end of the build.
Thats as far as I have made it since officially beginning the build on Nov 25th. My front fairing should arrive friday, and I should have the fabrication and welding done for the swingarm pivot mount and the monoshock conversion in the next 2 weeks or so. I get a little done everyday. I should be receiving my custom upper triple tree and hydro clutch slave cylinder mount from my machinist soon. Once I get those, we get to start on the most complicated part of the whole build-spacing the middle drive outwards 30mm. Putting a 190 rear tire on a shaft driven bike that originally ran a 130 is a difficult task, but not impossible.
So let me know what you think, I lke feedback. This bike will be my highway cruiser. Should be a lot more comfortable than my FZR for long trips but I think it is still going to me one mean mother once its out on the highway.
