First track bike finished
Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 5:01 pm
I Was trying to do it on the cheap but got a few surprises upon arrival. Had to make up bolts from smaller ones as the oems didn't fit. Had to paint the inside of the front fairing as they didn't both. Had to dremel every fairing as all the holes were way to small or mis-aligned and I'm proud to say at the end of it I only used 4 cable ties, on the centre fairing as it was all together and I cbf'd finding more bolts.
It's pretty much a bog standard zx6r 2000 model with 25000 kms. Sent it off for a major service as soon as I got it as it was running like shit on 2 cylinders and valve cover was leaking.
After 5 weeks of waiting fairings finally arrived from china on monday, matched bolts on tues, dremeled and prepped on wed (loctite rocks). Thursday hooray!
It was an experience and a bit of a challege to put together but it was good fun and I learned a lot. Gotta say the plastic is very stretchy heh.
The next track bike will be one that has a fibre glass mold available
Not too bad for $3900 including a major service

I just hope it doesn't explode whilst moving....
