You're the man... 8) 8) 8)
You just need one of those fancy bespoke front sprocket covers now to finish it off lol... :D
-
how does it handle luke compared with standard
-
Dont know yet eddie waiting on a sprocket link :'( knew i'd forget summat lol
-
But Luke, does it fit if you put the whole swing arm on? You missed half of it off :lol
Nice work. I'll be interested in the handling report.
-
Cant believe how quick you work mush,looks cracking
-
Brilliant job. Like! +1
Always amazed by your work. Keep doing the impossible!
-
You know what? That really works. I wasn't expecting it to. And a cracking bit of workmanship too. Brilliant.
-
thanks folks gonna move on too front end next :eek
-
Nice one Luke, how much do you reckon it all costs? It really looks good mate.

So this was the break down
honda sssa from dealer complete £250 welding case beer stella (yuk) rattle can primer and paint
vfr 800 wheel 40 quid ebay 60 quid to powder = £300 roughly
sold r1 wheel £125 brake caliper and disc £80 hugger £40 spildle £10 =£255
cussing scraped knuckles and having the balls to do it and being smug cause it looks in my opinion wicked
priceless
-
so luke ! no you've mastered the rear end what are you going to do to the front
the same as a lot of people and a set of usd's
or you going to go all out and graft on the front off of a GTS :)
-
The question that noone has asked is
WHAT FOR ! :evil

There's always one that spoils ya fun :o The point is, its about being different and he has done what other have not done or cant do and obviously you dont no luke because if you did you would be aware nothing stays stock for long, the man is a foccing genius give him some slack ffs.
-
I think it been different is inspiring. :)
its a custom job and its not stock and boring why not change it
its nice to see what can be done and having a bike is all about
Customized to you and how you want it to look and feel and making them custom bikes is all the fun and shows your talent and your taste in styles and how you like the look its a very personal chose :b

Devlisyam is an inveterate tinkerer, modifier and researcher. He has done things to Fazer 1000s none of us has had the foresight, guts or nous to do, and many of us and our bikes have benefitted hugely from his curiosity. He leads us to new and exciting places and we'd all be stuck in a cave eating gravel if it wasn't for people like him. Why do it? Because pushing boundaries is interesting and you learn.

:thumbup totally agree and without curiousness we would still be living in caves

thankyou for your kind comments, this project and ongoing was to modify yet look like a stocker
the aim having done bling bling in ya face, was to make it appear to have rolled off the factory floor like this
all these mods this time round have been based on cost as i dont work now, funds are tight so mods to a point have to be self funding
i am fitting the 08 r1 front end next but instead of using aftermarket top yokes as most do, or modded r1 ones that look outa place, as key mount is off set, and trying to keep it looking stock, i have used the gen 2 top yoke with a variation on justy's spacer arrangment
if money was no object i'd build a fazer 1.5 gen -- a gen 1 with gen2 full bodywork forks 08 r1 this would have given the best of both worlds
updated looks the best motor and the r1 front end well all wanted before the fz1 was launched
as for inovation well look to moto gp and f1 we all ride drive stuff that was devoloped from these sources
so why well cause i can, like it or hate, it dont give a toss, cause whilst i breath i will tinker, fiddle and mod
1st one to do r1 forks
1st one to fit sssa t595
1st to do honda sssa
1st one to do window covers
discovered the zx9r clutch mod
discovered the throttle lock mod
devoloped the r6 shock mod
make frame plugs and clock rings
sprocket covers
1st to do a rim braking conversion
list is ongoing
Amen
-
I'll agree with the fact the R1 key mount is offset when my steering lock is on my front wheel is straight so the can just push it away in a straight line!!

I have to say you are a total genius!
Having spent hours last year building up a mates original Harris XR69 from a frame found on ebay.
I am ultimately impressed with your engineering brilliance.
All we had to do was get the parts.... engine, looms etc, build a few bits and bob, add fairings etc and put it together.
What a nightmare that was and with the help and advice from Harris themselves.
We finished 11pm on a Sat night and it was on the track 10 am the following at the festival of 1000 bikes.
There was no way you would have got me on it!
Keep it up.
