I still need to figure out my rearsets ( what a pain ).

If you want to make it easy on yourself, pick up a set of rearsets from an FZR600; they're about as bolt-on as you can get.
 
Thanks for the comments guys, its been a long time in the finishing...
what size tyres did you get?
2.75 x 18 on the front and 3.50 x18 on the back, (originally i had a 3.00 x 18 on the back which gives a nice thin look but i swapped it with my neighbour who has a 175 as well and he put it on the front of his with a 3.50 on the back). with the 3.50 on the back you will have to lose your chain guard.

Some more pics

Mate this bike is looking very smooth, I love the green it's refreshing to see some real colour, i started with "must have black" theme and now wish i had been a little less narrow minded ::) keep up the hard work, there's more to come ;D

Wow, that thing looks amazing!
Those are some awesome photos! How do you take the photo so that the main image is so clear and the background is so fuzzy? I've been trying to do that on my camera and can not figure it out.
It really makes the main image pop.

Its all to do with aperture and focal length, these pics are taken with a 135mm f2 lens on a canon 5D. They were taken quite late in the afternoon so the light was quite soft and the aperture would have been close to f2 . If you are using a point and shoot camera set it to portrait mode and zoom it out or if you have some manual control set the aperture to the widest you can and you should get a similar result. Hope that makes sense.
 
Bike is getting close to finishing, ordered some motobits rearsets and just finishing bits and pieces. Once the rearsets are on then I'll figure what to do with the exhaust. Looking like it will be a 2 into 1 underneath the bike?? Re-chromed tank covers came back and fitted- nice...
Been doing the wiring, struggling to get the front indicators to work... any suggestions?
Anyway heres some pics.

nitro heads seat from Japan. made to suit the sr400/500. Got it from dues ex machina for $450 au
 
Slick man, very nice indeed. And as others have said, great use of colour!

Anywho, if you still haven't got the indicators sorted then I'd suggest the following:

1) Check wiring for faults and/or breaks. Ensure good soldering, connections and earths. This'll usually solve most anything electrical.
2) Check bulb units. Ensure the bulbs aren't faulty and that their housings and contacts are corrosion free.
3) Check switch unit. Wiring ok? Contacts clean? Hmm...
4) Flasher unit. A bum flasher will wreck the whole circuit; the one on my GS is water damaged and only allows a gradual fade-up to being 'on'...and then doesn't turn off. Hysterical.

If you can't figure it out after all that and all flashers run off the same circuit, you may be overloading the flasher unit. Check to see what its rated for as a max load and then check the wattage of the bulbs. If they're running on or over the rated value I'd go a higher unit. Electronic flashers will be more reliable long term and allow use of low-load indicators like LED units.

Cheers, hope this helps - boingk
 
Do the indicators only have 1 wire coming out of them? If so, they need to earth through the indicator bodies to the frame. And judging by the pics, there's probably a stack of paint / powder coating in the way.

Nice build ;)
 
Thanks for the replies guys. Got the wiring sorted and yes it was the earth for the fronts. the other thing is that i am running a small battery and the draw from both front and back indicators was too much. should be fine when the bike is running, fingers crossed.
 
Well here she is the finished for now version of my bike.
Gotta say its been fun in a frustrating and rewarding kind of way.
