Project Fazer: The build thread

[Punkstig]

Considering an R1 tail section too, as Deefer will be selling one soon. Debating whether to fit that, or chop up the original tail fairing.

Is it the one with the underseat twin exhausts?
I know you're looking into doing underseat exhausts, Buuut, if it is that tail unit consider a normal exhaust, I saw an Underseat exhaust R1 converted to 'normal' exhaust and the shape of that exposed rear end was gorgeous.
What I'm saying is don't get heart set on converting before weighing up the cosmetics!

Fuck that, I'd rather be Deefer's apprentice!

Dead Eye can be Devil's Apprentice, he's the one who torches 600s!

and your the one who crashes em lol

I used to have this game on my PS1....Crash Bandicoot...i declare Christo.............Christo the Crash Bandicoot!

even one pic of him and the Christo Crash Bandicoot Fighter.
& Christo Bandicoot through the years!

[ChristoT]

I've been nicknamed Crash Bandicoot before, actually!

[apage16]

I'm looking forward to seeing how this pans out Christot!


I'd say I could help out, as I'm local to you. But I'm about to move to Germany!


But in any case, I totally get your thinking. If you can't ride, the easy second best is messing with your ride. (close third is watching others ride, perhaps on youtube...  )


Good luck, and looking forward to seeing you back on two wheels. Whether they are standard OR a kickass custom!!

*ahem* 600 - singular. Thank you very much.

At least Exup stood up for me haha

The build will be interesting... though my concern is your lack of cash tends to lead you to be a tight fisted bastard and you end up buying things because of their price and not their quality.

Make sure you get a decent engine head and a decent cam chain - this is gonna set you back a bit as it is. The valve stuff is time consuming, but you'll get there in the end... I REALLY need to finish mine before I forget where all the parts are :\

[ChristoT]

Well, I'm getting the cylinder head off Deefer, and I may get round to grinding the other as a spare. And I don't plan to skimp on the engine internals.

After all: who needs food, eh?

[Dead Eye]

Wait, what's wrong with the existing head? Do the valves just need grinding?

[ChristoT]

As far as I'm aware. But one (if not more) of the valves is badly pitted due to the detonation

[Dead Eye]

They should clean up ok if you are prepared to do the leg work and I thought you wanted to save money by doing work yourself? Seems a little redundant in buying a second head when you have an existing one... though I guess with two heads you could knock one against a brick wall to try and get some more sense in to you

[unfazed]

A picture would tell a thousand words

[Dead Eye]

Agreed...

My valves were pretty gruesome on my old engine after the fire and then being left outside to the elements but they cleaned up well

[red98]

Come on christo......pictures of the head please 

[ChristoT]

Come on christo......pictures of the head please 

You'll have to ask Deefer, the engine's over at his for the time being. Not before the bugger spilt oil all over the back of my car...

Hi ChristoT,

Good luck with this, ive just done a similar thing with an R1 I picked up for £500, the only cost I got wrong was the price of missing nuts n bolts , cost me about £100, so don't lose anything and keep an eye on ebay as breakers sometimes sell all the hardware from the bikes they have broken quite cheap and most Yamaha stuff is similar.
You can get a good paint finish with rattle cans if you take your time and do the prep work

After that much time and effort, I'll shell out for a pro job. At the end of the project, of course! 

[ChristoT]

Just checked insurance. Well, tried to, two comparison sites were unable to quote!

This will be a looooong project.
