[Masterdanthegod]

Hi
im doing the same as radio bloke by making a streetfighter bird ive got a carb'd 98 bird and running gear with an R1 front end and a Ducati 916 tail to go on it jst in the middle of making the sub frame for the seat and tail unit will post pics when get a chance below is pics of when i got it a bit of a mess the guy i got it off had the same idea i had started ripping bits off then could not finish it so i got it super cheap of him i will have more pics as the build goes ahead.

 

[Duck n Dive]

As it's a blue one anything will be an improvement

 

[Masterdanthegod]

welcome, you will made lots of friends with a statement like that, but pleased to say i have a black one so i dont careman8um

 

[Masterdanthegod]

this is a little pic of what the tail will look like i might have it a little higher?? i will fit the R1 front end below and bars and will fit the seat from there so ill have an idea of the riding pos i want it racey but so you still have bo**ox when you get off it.

Hi Here is a couple of pics of a BIG head light i picked up for cheap (Bootsale ?10) it was a single fillment put i changed tht and even though the lens is Blueish a friend at the MOT bay said it would most likey past but it would get me pulled alot if i ever turned it off. Oil cooler in temp place till i finish the bike due to not really wanting the spend ?120+ on oil lines after i do get lines or diffrent cooler i would like to place it under the rad.

She still abit of a mess at the mo wires still even where not had much time to go over and crack on with some real work just little bits here and there. Still on the look out for a R1 mud guard in any con really part from broke as will be painted agian anyway.
Also i was gonna ask ive got rid on the OEM clocks as they are massive and would have not really been the look i waited but this has left me with a mass of wires shall i just make them watertight and hide them or cut them down or out??? all i need is the fuel gauge wire(s) and the ignition wires??

One mod worth considering is to upgrade the R1 blue spot calipers to the gold spots.

I upgraded my Thunderace from Ace blue spots (bastid to bleed BTW due to the external link pipe) to the R1 golds and it makes a BIG difference.

If you want to get rid of the brake master cylinder a Fazer master unit does a good job of making the bars a tad nicer.

only just seen this...go on lad....get stuck in.

want my honest feedback?

too late, didn't hear you say no 8rfl@

the thing with bulding bikes is the detail...and the lines...

for my eye, the seat unit needs to be a bit higher so the lines flow better. and the important detail is the 'shut line'...where it joins with the tank. you need to make sure that you think how the seat fits in too. Remember the indents on the tank ...either fill them or do something with the seat.

now then....the oil cooler....it looks absolutely rank up there! cheap fix...X11 brake lines and make a bracket to go under the rad

good luck with the build...I'll be watching:-:

 

[ericonblackbird]

On the oil cooler, why not move it back to the position of the injection one at the top of the rad?
Personally I would be wary of mounting it below the rad due to stones being thrown up espcially with a short mudguard.
With USD forks you do need to check clearance on full lock and full bump.
On my Bird I have crammed an intercooler in and moved the oil cooler up into the nosecose!

 

[Masterdanthegod]

Right ok i was only thinking down low because of the clearence but ill have a second look when i get over to her also is that bird forks u got there with bembo's? looks nice with the samco was that a kit or did you buy them in bits to make the lot as i could not find a bird kit from them and thought it would cost ££££££ to buy them in bits

 

[ericonblackbird]

No not Bird forks those, late ZX12R mounted in early ZX12R yokes, the discs are 320's so the spacers for the Brembos I made out of Ti.

 

[Masterdanthegod]

Right had a bit of a WIN on ebay last week i got a MTo1 clutch master cyclinder and Pazzo lever for ?27 to my door which im quite happy with pics below there a bit crap just quick ones at work.

Also lads whats this ??

i know its a crap pic its on my bird wiring lume at the back not sure where it would have sat due to never having the rear subframe lol its got tour max on the side in the pic and then a metal base (underside) and has holes both sides to be mounted? i will get a better pic on sat when over the unit.

Hi,
I'm about to do similar project, did the R1 front end fit straight on?

If you've any advice, it would be much appreciated
