General / Hedgetrimmer 3 rebuild

« on: 04 August 2015, 08:04:43 pm »

So holiday out the way so heres the update

well it was decided that nicks frame was dented not to the point of non use but more a cosmetic choice dents in frame rails are not nice looking
it was also discovered that nick had been riding artound without a exup i guess since he had it as there just wansnt one there

so a newer frame was sourced and duly sent to powder cosaters engine was removed but 3 of the studs bust this was handed over to steve aka bristol banger for extraction this turned out to be bloody epic

new body work was sourced from various parts of the uk via ebay and sent to my painter for a retro speed block paint scheme in memory of hedgetrimmer 3

the offending stud removed and new stainless ones fitted it down to the cleaning and painting following previous post on the subject

if you are expecting some sorta mega modded bike its not going to be this one im afraid

seat was dispatched to diggers for resculpturing and recovering

newer headers with working exup sourced for 50 quid bargin

wheel were naff on nicks bike and rear had a dent so a spare set esetest had were put to good use and a deal done
these were stripped and also made there way to the powder coaters

the swinging arm was also replaced as there was a gauge in it from the exhaust or summat

i have 2 spare upper fairings one ready for primers one has small cracks and will need bit fiddling happy to sell trade

i need double bub screen
hugger
mirrors

more updates to follow
good l/h and r/h casings

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / seized lower leg adjusters how to fix

« on: 30 April 2015, 07:50:14 pm »

this is my way works for me there may be other ways

if the adjuster is solid as this welsh won was after a winters riding DONT force it

do as this picture

any bit hose will do fill with penatrating fluid and leave 24 48 hours
then gently see if any movment make sure screwdriver is correct for slot or you will foc it

work back and forward gently if still rock solid leave bit longer and repeat

last resort

the ring around the adjuster is ally gently heat with paint stripper you will no when hot enough as fluid will fizz up whilst hot spray pen fliud and leave to cool

Fazer 1000/FZ1 corner / r1 front end for the masses

« on: 26 April 2015, 09:34:34 am »

ok a subject i was already playing with but after a chat with mike ill through it out there see the response

problem

there are so many ways to do this each works but there is no sorta standard way

early r1 yokes getting difficult to find and wont work with fz1/8 top tree

solution#

i am looking to get 10 splindles turned up to work with the r1 07/08 bottom yoke and fz1 top yoke
these will work with early legs up to 03

i have not yet tried the big bang yokes but will look into it

for thoose who know og brian gs thread on the matter will know the yanks have already done this but mine has a twist (gotta do it different)

brians shaft uses the r1 top nut which if friggin huge and leaves a hole down the middle

i want to keep the fazer top nut

So here the 6 million doller question

i need 10 yes's to do a cnc run i will post costings when i recieve feedback and have the sample done

to keep costs down will be in steel not ally as brian used as its tripple the price

so you will get a shaft to take fz1 top yoke and press into a r1 07/8 bottom

any takers
