I realize when people wanted me to post my project they didnt mean in the f4i pic section so here is the start comments ideas?? post em
So this is the bike 3 years ago, I will keep the same color scheme but change up the tones of the colors and locations.
I started with a whole new frame and I began with waterjetting my name out of 1/4'' 6061 just short enough to allow air to enter into the frame and exit the hot air out the rear to keep my bike cool.
Clamped the plates to the frame and welded, and cut the extra plate off
The weld looked like crap so that will all be smoothed out before it goes off to be painted. I bought newer tail and stock fairings and cut them to the lower curve of the frame to show that it is unique. Also got a new subframe in the mix, Thanks DAKOTA!
If you noticed the stainless steel bendable pipe in the above picture it makes more sense below. I downsized the exhaust tubing and ovalized the bend pipe to run it inbetween the swingarm and the tire, gonna be getting a lot of heat wrap!
I killed some time wrapping up the new seat and getting excited over new gear for the season. Eventually my stocker 1000rr muffler came in the mail!
I know the 05 f4i travel of rear suspension was 4.7 inches so I was in serious need to get some more room so I took to the torch and a deadblow hammer. Smooshed it as much as I could without extreme damage and got the stock can mounts to line up with my round bar front mounts.
Loose mach up and I still needed more clearance and decided on a rear suspension lift through nardeen or I might make my own. Money right now is holding me back but I am shooting for Hohey adjustable clipons mounted under the tripple, forks will be flush with the top of the tripple to raise the front an inch, I might go up two in the rear (im kinda tall). Im also stuck between the new full throttle dual quad with three calipers, or the crashcage.de setup that would allow me to go with THREE 4 piston 636 calipers!
I My goal is to build a stuntbike that is like no other and goes a little too extreme with some aspects
The fairings and custom frame will be sprayed pearl white, and the subframe, forks swinger will become the same color as the wheels and I am keeping the old headlight which is the acrebis vision shown below from last season
I'll post when I get more cash to slap some good parts on this thing!
