FZR600 fighter

Always good to see your work Joe, good stuff.....
I like the clip-ons above the triple on this one too. I've never been a fan of motoX bars on a sportbike...I know I know...fighter. This is sharp!
 
also my fat ass does not have to lean so far over! ha ha ha

ok now the big question... i am going to cut and weld my kick stand today. i lowered the bike 2 inches well around 2 - 2.5
how much do you think i should take out of my kick stand, my brother thinks 1 inch... i think somewhere between 1/2 - 3/4 inch.
any feedback?
 
Looks good Joe! For the kick stand, have your brother or wife hold the bike at the angle that it should be leaning if it was on the stand. Than just measure it. You've been around bikes long enough to know when its in the right position and would be stable.
 
Sometimes simple is hard man! Im a carpenter of sorts and the old guys I work with always fuck with me. Theyll sit and watch as I drive myself nuts trying to figure shit out, and finally say, "ya know... if ya just..." Coulda been done in 10 seconds, ya know? Instead I just spent an hour! ha ha ha ha

I say an inch should do it, 3/4 would most likely work too, but you don't want it too long or too short! I say take the bike and lean it about the lean you want it to sit at an have someone pull a measurenet from the pivot point of the stand mount to the ground at the angel the stand would be, that should get you close!

Damn, yall posted while I was typing! Oh well I am posting it anyway!
 
nice... well i hope to have the wiring done tonight, get the carbs on and the tank back in... then tomorrow ill get the exhaust on and hope to give her a start! we will see how far i get. I need to find a 38mm fork clamp for my stearing damper! i may have to get in the machine shop and make one

Cool. Whip me up some 34mm clip ons while your there! :D
 
well, wiring is done! went smooth with everything labeled... i added a switch for my rad fan. i cut and resoldered alot of the iffy sections of wire. the parts in the tail i used some 3m duel sided tape on the back and stuck them in there, it will hold just fine and i do not have to drill into my welded and powdered undertail there. in back looks a bit sloppy still, but i still need to add in the plug for the rear tail light and incorp the turn sigs into that still, once the battery is in and the rear light is done i will clean that all up. ALso got the plumbing all in for the radiator.

tried to bleed out the front brake, i am just not getting much pressure for some reason, i am going to pull apart the master and check it out, may need a rebuild kit, may be that it is completely drained and the speed bleeders are not working for crap, or that it needs a rebuild kit ha ha ha
if so i am not going to rebuild it, i will get a R1 or R6 upgraded master, then powder that. any ideas on that sucker? i am pumping the hell out of it and the fluid is not going down... weird, it is bubbling though!

Just sounds like you have air in it if it is bubbling, but if you master has a seal leak, it could be drawing air from there! Dunno?
 
Did you try using a mighty vac? i had the same problem with my masters for both brake and clutch.
 
If the MC is dry you will have little hope getting it to bleed with conventional methods. You're trying to pump air down the lines and it won't happen.

MityVac or the syringe method will do it. Try the syringe Joe - it's like a buck :o
 
Have you tried to remove the speed bleeders and pump the fluid down the lines till it start to come out. I reckon those bleeders need pressure to bleed themselves and with you pumping air down the lines it wont open. Might try that.
 
found the problem! I hooked up the mighty vac to the front and pumped it up, found out i had a leak in the plunger unit in the master cyl. I took it all apart (again) and did not see anythign wrong with it at all. so i went to bed, ill mess with it later, Twisted sent me a new master so i may jus scrap this one all together and slap some powder on the one he is sending me and rock that. Got the rear pegs on the bike, went to ace and got all the random little bolts i need to finish this up. then called it a early night. I did get the rear mount made for the rear master, and bled out the back brakes. the rear bled out in like 2 min tops with the speed bleeders they where awesome!!!!!
