sorry for the long delay guys, i have taken up study and have moved country also, so have been a little busy, the calipers are 100% interchangeable, as are the '02 gsxr1000 6 potters, though i would get the gsxr mastercylinder

the bike i dont own anymore, and good friend af mine bought it so its sorta still in the family, lol, he is back home in Australia... so i get to ride it when i head home, he is looking after it which is good...lol


the OL CB is a keeper and in storage back home also, fully rebuilt, i wont say restored cos its not factory original, but 836cc big bore kit, electronic ignition, straight through exhaust, she goes great... though at 256kg she is a heavy ol thing... thanks for noticing her...:P

andrewsi- mate will head over nad have a look at your thread and give you a hand if you want... thanks for the notice also.

i never did get around to painting the duct covers, but my friend spray fillered then and smoothed tham out, he says they look great, so will wait fro pics..:P


to everyone else will try to keep in touch about the bike...

thanks heaps for the comments..

peace

 

Looks SWEEEET! Alomost like the 07RR!

I know it looks like a pretty straight forward mod......but a write-up would be really cool!

 

--the only thing i did with the side panels was cut them about 5-10mm below the wing decal, this gave me material to line the leading edge on the nose cone up with the sides, you will c what i mean when you look at where the side panels and the nose cone meet, there is an overlap.

--used a hot 'stanley' knife i think you guys call the utility knives. then fitted, rubbed and fitted and rubbed..etcx etc..... looking back i should have just ran a line parallel to the bottom of the wing decal and been done with it!!! lol.

--the belly pan was a bolt on affair in three places, but needed a mount made for the clutch side, also a bit trimmed off the back to accomodate the exhaust exit. The got some 10year black vinyl and blacked out part at the front to tie in with the black on the tank.

--the undertail was straight forward, but i had to fit it to the taillight, and drill it for the mount plugs, no big deal.

hope this helps..

I have been riding without my side faring becuase I just like the half faring look. Let me ask a couple questions!

1) did you just cut your lowers to extend the upper a little?
2) how did you find matching paint and where can I get some.
3) what did you do with your left side tubes that come down through the lower?

 

thanks for the explanation!

 

-hey WOT those tube come out just under the side stand.
-the side panels are there to make the front neater, as well as adding another mount point for the front clip, otherwise you are relying on the mirror mounts, and the two pins in the head light to stop the front commin off!!!!
-and the paint was a rattle can that i got as close as i could to the original colour, there are 6 coats of paint, and 4 of clear all done with spray can, there is no reason why you can get a great finish, its al about the prep.

02cbrf4i4u all good M8, if you need anymore help, drop me a line...

peace

 

Thanks for the info!
