The Project 9

[shadowzx9]

Ive decided not to sell the 9, and instead to use it for myself and build something up.

Ill post pics and stuff for those interested.

Stage 1

And, Unfortunately, the first major problem
Yes, that is the bottom yoke snapped at the join

9R Fighter?!?

[shadowzx9]

I'll be honest and say that a can of matte black was a serious thought on Sunday, but no, it won't be a street fighter

Update - Mocking up the frame, checking the ZX10R Shock Fits (soon as I get some bolts ill bolt it up properly before everything that is silver is sent off to be made satin black)

And the Powder Coating is done, this is the reassembled Rear Peg

Went for satin dark grey instead of matter black

Minor Update.

Undertrays (Fenders) would appear to be rarer than a virgin in Mt Druitt, so, Instead I have spend the last 4 days with a Dremel hacking away at the old one

This is how it fits now.

Going to have to put something like one of those Rizoma Number plate carriers to provide space for the Blinkers and legality issues (reflector)

That distressing moment when you hear the alloy snap on the triple tree lower clamp and you realise that you left the torque wrench set at 40 ft lb's instead of 20

Miss the top end madness of the 9!

Time for an update methinks

Bikes in the process of being reassembled, just sourcing a few more parts before the panels can be sent off for paint
Then about 3grand worth of Rizoma, nother 3 for the front end sliders and brake updates, tyres, then the big question of what to do with the engine.

I did the full R&G package on my old Gixxer; saved me 3 times its value in undamaged fairings!
