Everyone, CJ's bike is up for ROTM (Ride Of The Month). Place your vote HERE.

.

 

done

 

I haven't been on here in a long while but coming back and seeing your bike just blew my mind. I remember when you first started this log and inspired me to start a log but i never went as far as you lol. Good job man this is a seriously good looking project.

 

Thanks for the votes guys but the hurricane demolished the competition. Anywho here's a video of the new exhaust Cant keep the Jardine at the moment because The output on the Full system is about 6.5 mm smaller than the input of the can. there was an exhaust leak that I had to weld shut and the bike is going to get rejetted while Im gone. Oh and that oil leak was fixed too so no worries there.


Edit: Forgot to mention I got a shorai Li-Iron Batt put in there as well, The local stealership had it on sale (who would have thought!) for $120 and I needed a new battery. Figured 14 years was a long time for a battery and the old one was pretty much dead. I would love to get the bike weighed some day just to see if the bike is any lighter. Should be at least 10-15lb total now with the only real addition is the CF tank which is a total of a few grams with the resin included.

 

Just ordered:
track fairings from Sharkskinz,
all the stuff to swap to a 600rr swingarm,
Traxxion cartridge kit for the forks
320mm front ebc rotors w brake pads
ebc rear rotor
ohlins damper

and Im talking to traxxion about overhauling my penske rear shock

Also Im really happy to announce that I am at a place that has pretty consistent internet so I wont be too detached from the real world.

 

New stuff is starting to trickle in!!

So its looking like its just photos this post.





















Now the real goodies are still being made Like the CF huggers and the track fairings OOO cant wait!! Man I wish I was home, but it will be a great coming home. To my wife, danielle and my mistress abby with all her final parts there so I can finish her.

So far my deployments pretty slow, been stuck behind the wire as theres not much for us to do, just get put on standby, get on a c-130 wait 12 hours and get off, another 12 hours and we are off standby. Rinse and repeat. Well, if it make you guys feel better the world is starting to settle down despite what the news says. At least Im in a place where I can skype my wife and putts around on here.

 

Man I didn't know you were deployed you were in Lejurne doing work ups weren't you? You in AFG?

 

Hey guys,

So as many of you know already I am Cjardine's wife. I am currently trying to tackle the project of taking off the front seat of the bike. There are two screws at the back of the seat. If you are looking towards the front of the bike I got the left one off but I am working on the right. For some reason I can't get it off and I am afraid of stripping the screw. Which way do I want the ratchet to go? Which way do I want it to ratchet and which way do I want it to move smoothly so that it will unscrew the screw? I know probably something that comes naturally for you guys but I am new to the working with tools....usually Cjardine is here to do all of then when we are working on the bike. So thank you for the help!

I also wanted to just say please vote for Abby (the bike). She's been nominated for bike of the month again.

It would mean a lot if CJardine got it this month. He's putt a ton of time and love into Abby.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures, some of them are from when the old fairings were on her, but it will give a good comparison. anyways I hope you enjoy and thanks for the votes!
