Zed 900 road racer .

[zed1015]

The Plan-

1428cc supercharged Light weight animal.
Daytime mot.
no lights (Except for a brake light) .
No frills (Except for a supercharger)
And no frame .(Well! not in the first pic anyway)
And everything (nearly) done in the shed with my large selection of hammers



Zed motor,now a stressed member ( like me ) squeezed into 750 Zeph frame with the aid of a hacksaw and vaseline.
05 zx10r wheels forks and suzuki srad swinger and wooden mainstand


On its wheels.
Frame braced with rear suspension fitted, swinger changed to gixer 1000k4.


Subframe mounts welded on


Alloy subframe and (roadsign) seat fitted


Footrests fitted and fuel tank is a work in progress

PETROL TANK - PROGRESS SO FAR.

Started out life as a wayward road sign .



Upper shell welded inside


And out



TODAY.

Drilled a hole in the rear of the tank shell


And turned up this alloy bobbin (to take a rubber mounting strap)



Which was pressed in and welded on from the inside


For a neat appearence






Also spent hours with the wet and dry polishing out the weld seams.



Next job on the list is to weld in a base and make a front mount

(still plenty of opportunity for things to go horribly wrong so fingers crossed)

Good to see you've lost the wooden main stand in preference to a conventional side stand. Looking good...

[paul doran]

looking good Rob

will the Club Project be as good

[k7]

she's looking good Rob - another great bit of engineering and oh so much polishing and swearing lol ..........

[zed1015]

Woohoo .
Managed to weld in the base without it all melting in a heap.







Green outline is where i'll weld on a fuel baffle box which will hang between the subframe rails and provide a mount for the tap and a bit of extra capacity

REAR LIGHT MOUNT.

Little bit more progress this week.

Made up this alloy plate which will hold the rear light and form somewhere to hide the battery .




After welding it into the seat unit the welds were blended in so it looks like one piece.


And also forms the other half of the undertray



Light unit is ZX7R







Also had a swift session on the lathe and finished off the adjustable subframe struts.



As well as making up a threaded mounting stub




To take the fuel tanks front mount

Second that

Any clues to wot filler cap you'll be fitting?
Maybe put twin fillers on there - endurance style (just a tought)

Will be the race flush filler type maybe single maybe twin.
Depends on what i can lay my hands on.
Was thinking of making my own again but - been there/done that - so i've put a wanted ad on a few forums and am waiting to see if owt turns up.

Excellent stuff Rob.
