2001 CBR 929, South Central OH
5 Attachment(s)
Hey all! So long story short... My first bike was a 2006 ZX-6RR that I bought in Feb. '09. Hit a deer while riding in KY in June '10. Totaled the bike, bought it back from insurance, made it a track bike. Sold it in summer '11 because I just wasn't going to be able to afford enough track days to make it worth holding onto it anymore. Was finally able to afford another bike and bought this '01 929 from a friend at work (:icon_woot:). It was set up to be a track bike but I'm trying to convert it back to a street bike (will still ride it on the track, but I can't afford two separate bikes right now so this is my best option to have the best of both worlds).
While working to get it back to a street bike (was hoping to have it done asap so I could grab the last few good riding days that I might have here in OH), I've run into many more issues than I thought I would have...
I know that I have a lot of questions/concerns there, so I want to say thank you all in advance for any help that you can offer me. Problem is, I know that I'm going to come up with many more questions once these are answered... :icon_neutral: Attachment 35529 Attachment 35530 |
welcome to cbrf GroulZer. that's a damn fine looking track bike. i loved the blacked out swinger and blacked out motor/frame/swingarm stay
as far as your questions, we have subforums here specific to each bike. i never built a 929, and i know their front ends are a little bit different from the 954 which i've built a few. but, can tell you this. as far as the subframe - it looks like someone grounded the mounts for the rear pegs off - i do know that where the exhaust stay is mounted from is ONE of the tabs for the rear peg. as far as the wiring, the green wires are your grounds, they are for all 3 headlights as far as your stop lights and what not - i just glanced at a wiring diagram - i think one of those plugs is for the service check welcome again, if you post these questions in the 929 section, i'm sure you'll get a much more informative answer |
Welcome!
The black connector under the seat is the service check connector. It does not get plugged into anything. The rear tabs have been ground off. You will need to replace the subframe if you want them back on there. Put up a pic of the headlight plugs so we can identify them. You should have 3 lights, 1 low and 2 high. each has a black 2 wire plug. usually the green single wires are the turn signal ground. |
Welcome aboard!
Conrice & 74demon have you started off right. Both are extremely mechanically knowledgeable. Post up in the 929 section for hopefully more pointed responses to your model. No prob w/ questions tho...ask as many as you like. :-) Good looking bike. Good luck w/ converting it back to street. |
Welcome to the forums,
Nice looking machine you've got, I bet it goes like the clappers! |
Thank you all for the responses!
I spent some more time on it after work today... For the headlights- I actually don't have stock headlights, but rather I have two projector lights so I only have two headlight plugs. I got those hooked up today and they're working great! :) For the black connector that I asked about... I did spend some time looking through the service manual earlier this evening and did see that it is a service check plug. I apologize for asking about that as I should have looked through the manual more thoroughly beforehand. For the passenger pegs... I'm glad that you confirmed that the exhaust is using one of the tabs for the passenger pegs- I had not thought of that as I assumed that I was just missing all 4 tabs. That puts me in a difficult spot because if I go and buy a new subframe I'm going to need to figure out where/how to mount the custom exhaust. I may try to have someone weld some tabs on the current subframe for some passenger pegs... Maybe? This is about the crappiest part of getting the bike street-ready again because it seems to be putting me in the worst place. I did find the plugs for the rear turn signals in a small box of miscellaneous stuff that the previous owner gave to me. However it seems that I just have the plugs that would plug into the signals (and hopefully the integrated taillight) but I don't have any of the wiring that would get from there to the brake light plug. I'm actually thinking that I may just wire the rear turn signals up to the front turn signal wires since I don't plan to have front turn signals anyways. I guess my next step is going to be to get a stock tail section and an integrated taillight into my hands, get them on the bike, and see what else I need to continue. Again, I appreciate the feedback that you all have given to me! :) |
Welcome! Definitely check out the sub sections below.. There is much to be learned on this forum for your bike.
