Starting point of something.....(stupid,probably?)...

[Ginger Bear]

Ive just bought another z1000j frame,and a gsxf600,where will it all end????

Lets hope its not tear's!

Can't help thinking it reminds me very much of me old 900 monster in that second pic, the one from the rear.

[dixiethedog]

Come on Monk,I need a pic of your old monster 900!!

[Monk]

Sorry Dixie

Some time a year or two back my computer got wiped and I lost all my pics, no more Monster !

I tell you what though, it looked the tits from the back !

[dixiethedog]

Thats a shame,would have been nice to see. Talking of nice back ends,im today (possibly?) trying to squeeze a zx7 back end into another z1000j frame,pics soon.

[dixiethedog]

My lathe should be here by tuesday,so work shall commence on this drag bike thing!

[dixiethedog]

My lathe has finally arrived,so work shall start again on this project soon!

Im going to start at the back and work forward. Firstly i need to centralise swingarm in frame,soI'll mill the ends of the arm down,and make top hat spacers to slot into the arm and give me back the correct swingarm width. Then make a spindle for the wheel,spacers etc and get wheel in. In fact id better go to workshop now,instead of sitting at pc![/img]

What a beauty!

[dixiethedog]

Thank you gingerbear,I am like a proud happy father,its perfectly formed and in good health,and I look forward to many years of happiness in the future with it! (or until i need a larger one!).

Looking at the pics of the back end on the long swingarm,it seemed as if the arm had a lot of offset to one side,in that from the back of the bike,the arm was over to the chain side,so,ive cut the swingarm pivot down,at each side,to narrow it,to a slack wobbly fit,and machined some top hat spacers to bring width back,to centralise arm. Also drilled holes in top hat spacers to allow me to use the z1000r swingarm spindle. Pics soon. (the bike will be on struts,with no rear suspension,so no bearings).

[dixiethedog]

MMMmmmm,ive just bought a supercharger......

[Kwakanut]

And solid struts for the back end.

Don't put much value in your back, eh?

[dixiethedog]

God,i need to get my finger out and do something with this....

[dixiethedog]

Ha ha,ive just gotten myself a lengthened R1 front end and a R1 6inch wide back wheel with a new tyre,progress soon!!!

[dixiethedog]

Progress,not very soon!
It saddens me,but ive this on egay.
I need to make some space,as at the moment,ive 3 HardUpChops(HUC)on the go,Ive 2 FJ12's,a Thundercat,a Blandit,a gpz750,a couple of gsxr things,3 EFE's....the list seems to go on... I need to make some space.
Ive had some interest from a person from here,so it looks hopefully that maybe a proper zedhead could be the new owner.
If it doesnt sell,i shall be moving to a secret location (to hide from you lot)as I fit a gsxr1127 motor.... I made the mistake of giving a gpz11 engine away,as i was sick of tripping up on it in the workshop. Doh!!! That has been fitted into a z650 frame,so alls not lost.
I do hope a proper zed head buys it! lol.
