The bits are here :)

[Spliffyaid]

Well, finally picked up my British Super bike bits and bobs and have started to strip my bike

There are quite a few changes, as you would imagine

Dymag wheels....Yum Yum £1900 worth alone 8O





STandard air intake



New air intake



Standard swinging arm



New one :) Been lengthened slightly





One off, custom made rear sub frame



Just got to swap it all over now, should be fun with a baby and no time

[Vertigo117]

I creamed myself. I especially like the brake rotors on the front wheel...

[Spliffyaid]

OK, im scared now, this is the most stripped ive had the 10

[Vertigo117]

Hey if you got the tools, figuring it out isnt so bad... I remember switching out the forks on my 6RR... with no rearstand, only 2 car jacks

Ive done forks quite a few times :)

A whole bike, making sure you have the wiring and plumbing in the right place is a different thing :)

Ill still post pics as it goes :)

[CUCULANDRA]

Wow I Hope You Get It Back Toghether... About That Air Intake, Do You Think It Will Weaken The Fork There?

[Spliffyaid]

I hope not :)

[Spliffyaid]

Well, made some progress today, which is nice!

Got the Engine out





Had a bit of a clean up and chocked the engine ready for the new frame after swapping out various engine bolts (Hawk had left loads of titanium bolts in which was nice of them!)



Another something nice left on was the top shock mounting bracket, standard first, then my new one





Finally got the new frame on with all correct plumbing routes and wiring routes



So far, so good :)

Looking real good.
Nice project ya got going there.

[Vertigo117]

Thats sick... i wish i had the money, parts, know-how, and balls to do something like this... im so jealous!

[Spliffyaid]

OK, you will all be pleased to know that i hit my first stumbling block tonight :(

Its in the shape of the quick release swinging arm .......... and the missing bits that make it quick release...........Hawk cant find it, so i need to go back to standard, but something has been welded on the frame that im gonna have to drill or dremmel out in the shape of 1/4 moon type things, see pics below!



What would your advice be for getting the 1/4 moon shapes out? im thinking small drill (2mm) around the weld and seeing where we go from there? any advice appreciated !

But on the whole, we are making progress (which is nice)





Please ignore the hand cut slicks :)

[Vertigo117]

for dremmel. I sware by that thing...

[Spliffyaid]

Got it sorted :) Got a milling bit in my dremmel and milled them out and then cleaned them up, looks cool !!

Bits out



Nice new round holes





Had some fannying around with bearings and oil seals etc in the swinging arm, but got there in the end!!

Managed to get the swinging arm back on the bike :)

[Spliffyaid]

Whats to do?.........

Well, i have to hang the back of the bike from the ceiling and put it "chassis wise" on axle stands in prep for.........

Fit rear suspension (Swinging arm lift after that )

Fit an underslung rear brake caliper with a 64mm middle hole (AP racing is cheaper then Brembo)

Put the air box and tank back on, connect everything up............

Fabricate some frame to airbox conduits

Make a rear subframe "bottom" so i can place a battery and all the other electrical shite that goes under there

Retorque/copper slip/thread lock every bolt that has been undone (surprisingly, not that many)

Get/make some 5mm caliper spacers in for the front disks (310mm disks)

Get a front spindle machined up, unless i fancy dropping a shit load on Ohlins R and T forks.............Not

[Vertigo117]

Wow stellar job... i never would of known that half moon thing was there!

[Spliffyaid]

Heh, ive made more progress :) which is nice :)

[lehn20]

I admire your balls of a homebuild, but why? What do you expect from the bike when you are done?.

[Spliffyaid]

More BHP and better handling :)

[Vertigo117]

why did you put the rim on w/o a tire?

[Spliffyaid]

Waiting on some slicks being delivered, saves it rolling around the garage :)
