FZR400 long bob chop chop

Started a thing... not sure where it’s going.
Somewhere no doubt

Nice upside down photo there

Potential battery and shit box. big old shell in near vertical position?

 

[whynot]

Nice, I'm watching, man talk about starting from scratch.

Cool.................

What can I say? This I gotta see. Rad motor choice.

 

[JustinLonghorn]

I am definitely on board. Chopper? Check. FZR400 motor (one of my all time favorite motors)? Check.

I can dig it.

 

[irk miller]

No joke.

 

[bimjobabob]

Nice one chaps!
Cooking up a posh rear axle setup. Once that’s all finalised I can line up the sprockets and then think about motor mounts.
I’ll get some more pictures on the go when the axle is finished.

Motor brackets....

 

[bimjobabob]

Ok so.... bare with me.
Of course cardboard isn’t the first choice when it comes to ethanol safe materials..

I’ve been trying to come up with a solution to this fzr motor intake nightmare. I don’t want pod filters because they suck on dicks.
I can’t use the original airbox.
But I do need to use its original posh Venturi sex porn.

 

[bimjobabob]

And this is the plan

Rear portion of the tank is dummy. Air box is silicone hose to underneath. Inside is a filter element and a posh scoop on top.

All done out of Ali of course.

I see that you use the same CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) software that I use. Your may be a slightly different version though. I think mine must be CAD lite.

You know it’s real when you’ve got no cereal box and resort to chopping up your robot costume.

Been a while since I posted anything. Settling in at a new job. Got a couple of little bits done.
Made a start on an airbox setup (might all change).
Bought a 600 motor.
Done a little bit of the coolant system so I can get it started up, I’ll probs swap a lot of it out for new shiny stuff further on down the line. Maybe?
Got some cheap R6 pipes to destroy.
And a couple little bits here and there.

Just an FYI I had an fzr400 with a 600 motor (which meant no cooling fan) and with a zx636 curved radiator it never overheated even with no fan. Hottest weather I rode in was about 99* out, even in traffic it stayed a safe temp.

 

[bimjobabob]

Ahaaa I’ll bare that in mind thanks.
I do have a fan for this rad.. it’s quite bulky but it’ll do for now

 

[bimjobabob]

New plan

 

[bimjobabob]

No access to a sheet roller so it’s straight bends I’m afraid

 

[bimjobabob]

Some more bits and bobs

 

[bimjobabob]

Might even make an octagon for the air/electric box.
