Z1000R and Z1000J Project - Oven baked paint - carbonfiber

[big green bus]

you may have a lot of probs with the upside down buser arm because of the offset for the chain. you will have a much easier life if you use the swinger out of a suzuki TL1000R. They have the brace on the bottom already. trust me i have tried. the buser wheel will still fit.

Its 24 carat viking gold

Probably loot from England then

stale;
Its a dark history that one, the Vikings eating mushrooms and running around

big green bus;
Thanks, Ive been thinking on that, do you have any idea how much offside we are talking about? Its not more than 5/8?
But the brace will come to close the chain?

Maybe I should try to get my hands on a TL1000R swing, its no point for me trying on something that others have tried (you) if its not gone fit.
That is the whole point with this forum

Do you have a water filter on the air hose?

If you see on the picture on the paint gun there is on there, I also have one on the compressor. It have to be mounted straight up, otherwise it does not function like it should.

I do have a water trap (at the compressor). The media remains bone dry but I find that where rust flakes etc mix into it (during the course of a session) it tends to get lodged in the scavenge pipe. It probably doesn't help that I'm using cast iron blasting media - it's quite heavy and the link to the gun is about two foot. Anyhow - I got everything working ok with a gravity fed system. I paid about ?65 for it on Ebay so it was well worth it once I modded.

Dark Skies;

Aahh, OK, I understand.
No problems with that, but I am using light weight brown sand, so maybe that's the reason?
It s really handy to sandblast the parts, I feel helpless without, cant imagine how I could manage without before.

Not seen a motor in gold, looks good

Thank you, I think the colour is nice, something special

[RoyNorway]

I just have to show you this, they where out of stock for 10 of the valve stem seals I ordered, so they came today, in a BIG box.
They really do the job seriously on Z1 Enterprises.


When you know the size of a valve steam sealing, then you know this box is big

And by the way, after what big green bus wrote Ive just ordered a TL1000R swing from cheshiremotorcyclesalvage, 30 pund, in good A1 condition...Any of you know this store?

I will try to sell the Hayabusa swing.

[RoyNorway]

Yes, the shocks are smaller, 1- 1.5 inch.



But i still think I will use them... anyone with anything to say about this?

[Pigford]

Roy, Check spring rates, coz like I said, I'd be a bit concrened about them being too SOFT

[Big John]

I think that may result in a tyre / mudguard moment.

[RoyNorway]

Yes, i have to investigate this, if i cant use them i just have to sell them, i think it should not be a problem selling them here in Norway.

They proberly are perfect for smaller bikes and triples

[ninjabob]

[Iain marshall]

and from this angle

[Big John]

Was thinking of putting a ZRX1100R swingarm, wheel and shocks on my project Z1100R.

[RoyNorway]

Nice bike ninjabob

Yes, I could find some Kawa shocks, think I have to check around.


Big John:

Thats a good choice I think, since I got the wheels for Hayabusa I think I am locked to Suzuki... without to much hassle.
Do you have any pictures?
