Looks sick, Go get er done! And get some more pics up of the side of the bike

hey yall...
havent said anything in a while. havent had a whole lot of time with the bike, and when i have it has been the boring non picture worth stuff. I think that all of the welding is done on the tail, so i stripped off all the paint and am going to apply bondo today or tommorow. after that it will be mostly composite work. here are pictures of how it sits with the bare metal:

Damn, Im starting to like fighters more and more.
Especially because I hang out with dudes who all have streetfighters. But I think, the best material for rebuilding is Blades, no offense, you're done great work ;)

I would have to agree with you, Blades are awesome. I didnt however had the cash to get a blade, so i tried a 600. we will see how it goes.

I have done some work.. not much, i had to switch out the key-set on my wife's jetta this week and the ignition was a PITA. but now her locks work, and i got to D some H

Got to play around with some bondo...

these will be completely replicated in CF. i haven't decided for sure on the tail.

okay guys... change of plans here. i really didnt like how the cap fit together and if i made the tail CF it was going to have to bolt on.. and screw up "clean" look... so then i thought.. why not make the whole thing removable like a race bike? so... all the time i screwed around with getting it to bolt to those fasteners... wasted. :mad:

alas and alack...

so i will try and make a two peice mold for the tail.
so i bondoed everything smooth:

I have some carbon fiber tubing that i was thinking about using as a trellis support underneath, but we will see how that works out.

more after today
thanks

and also stripped the tank... and found BONDO! yay more damage! :shocker: they are really shallow dents, and hopefully i can just pop them out, but if anybody has a spare 600f2 tank laying around they want to ship my way, i'll take it! it never ends...

tail is ready for molding, as are the side covers. gonna hopefully do the tank next, then rebuild the engine. once it is rebuilt i will put it back in and fit the new radiator and radiator shrouds as well as the belly pan. that way i can do all the carbon wrapping and production at the same time, as well as do all the welding on the frame for the belly pan and shrouds.

Chris out

Are you talking about a complete engine rebuild? Or just water pump and small things? Make sure to snap a bunch of pics of the rebuild and total cost :) i'd definitely be interested in seeing that.

I dont know how far i am gonna get into the bottom end, but i am def. going to be rebuilding the whole top end. i really need to find out why i have oil an antifreeze together... and oil in my water pump. :icon_doh:

So yeah i will make sure to take a bunch of pictures. i just haven't had a time when everything was clean enough to actually pull it apart and keep track of everything. I will also be doing my carbs.

thanks!
