FZR600 fighter

So, are you riding this bitch yet? ::)

If so, you did an ass of work real quick! ;D

I know you have to get the rad in too! But I just can't wait!
 
Nope!.... not yet!
got out of the office yesterday... drove 1 an hour south to pick up a bike stand, then a hour back... then raced to Ace hardware to get some bolts and crap, then to 3 autoparts stores for plugs (no one had them) then had to work on the road king... got 0 done on the bike except for getting her off the lift :( not cool
but check out my new sport bike stand!!! now i have to figure out how to make it work! only cost me $20!!!

main thing that i am worried about is how to make this swing arm stand work... all the FZR forum guys say weld on tabs... HELL NO i just coated that sucker!!! so i have to figure out if i was to make a spacer slide that in the hollow end of the swing arm (after removing the wheel of course) then drill and thread that from the outside and put a spool on that if it would work? what you guys think? how can i make this stand work?
 
Tab stands are a nightmare to use (in my opinion), have had a couple bikes come off while lubing the chain or otherwise arm deep.
Were it mine and my bike, I'd ad spools to the rear axle and mod the stand to fit the spools.
 
the stand is for spool type, only problem is my swing arm does not take spools so i was thinking since it is hollow if i can add a spacer in there and drill it out and run a spool though that?

Oh I see the tab cups.....
What about axle end spools? You could have them machined up pretty cheap I'd think and use the axle mount'm up.

That's what I was thinking. spools that the axle goes through so there's one on each side of the s/a. Then it would lift right up! I got a Pit Bull off of CL for $35...you got a great deal Joe!
 
Hey Broosevelt.....snap me a pic of your axle and castle nut with od of each (nut and the other end of the axle).......
you know....just for curiosities sake. In fact, gimme a shot of the business end of the stand's spool brackets too and a general size...
 
Joe, the answer is simple, you all are over thinking, cut the tabs off the stand and weld on some small Y's on each end. make then from the thickest round stock or pipe that will work so it does not have hard corners. Dip the Y's in plasticoat or bed liner to keep it from marring the swinger and make it to where the Y's go under the swingarm itself and cradle each arm of the swinger under the axle, or just to the inside of it!

Did that make since?

Dammit Joe! Everybody posts the coolest videos when I'm at work and can't see them!

I'll be checkin this one in the morning!
 
Fat ass vid yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaahhhhhh!!!! Should be more people puttin vids up. Make sure you vid that first ride Joe.
 
Great stuff man! Well worth the wait. Can't wait to see that thing rippin up the street!
 
Hey congrats Joe! I know it sucks when little things crop up right at the end, but that fired up nicely....better than most initial tries. Sounds like the lump is in good shape too.....NICE!!!
 
ALMOST TO SHOW AND SHINE!
well.... HIT THE TON! ha ha ha man this sucker is fast! i put a96 ninja 600 gasket in the exhaust, by some amazing luck it worked!!! 3 of the 4 stock gaskets where in great shape, one was completely gone, can not belive that i did not check that first... turns out they sold me the wrong oil filter, so put a new one on and topped off the fluids, no more oil leak, pulled off the cooling piping and popped on new o rings, then new bolts, no more coolant leak, got the over flow on and plumbed, looks wicked... then went riding... got the clutch adjusted... wrapped the cables, and did a fatty burn out... raced and smoked a Ninja... man this sucker is just a blast to ride... i thought that it was going to have kind of lousy handling with as much as it is slammed but not at all... the headlight seems to be a hit, at the gas station people got out of their cars to take pics! just a cool feeling. again Gary at GHI signs came though on some killer decals! thank you as always!!! he makes all my decals and the quality of work is just awesome!!!

but i got about 85 miles on her now, runs great, stops great... so much fun!!!

*left to do:
- wire in LED kit
- wire in rear turn signals
- put on fork covers
- put on the other bar end mirror
- install stearing damper

ill get a riding vid up a bit later tonight... i have to work all day. but here are some pics from this morning... i wish you could see this in person, this powder is so BLING it is mind blowing!!!, wait till you see how many hyper orange LED's i have planned for her...

00000h ya! the lightin on the headlight sucks huge balls, i am going to add some driving fog lights to the bike hooked to the brights so i can get a bit more light at night, NO I AM NOT CHANING THE HEADLIGHT :)

Looks bitchin man. I soooo want to send you some bits off the BCM to powder in Kandy Green, your work looks flawless. Shipping my wheels to you would be a killer on the pocket book :'(

I wont hate on the headlight cuz I actually dig it.......but I'm not loving the flipped tip on the V&H :P
