[paul doran]

Feelz like it sometimes, but I haven't outta my thirties that long. I understand you look fondly back on your seventies, if rumour is to be believed

ah! but you should never beleive any rumour's you hear on this forum
nearly all the member's on here with the exception of myself have all had facelift's and boob job's
and they are still an ugly looking bunch

Oki, here is the latest news from Calfshit Racing;
Because of very much other shit to do I just have been able to do the bike some hours the last days, but almost done now.

Its a bloody mix of 1000J, 1000R and GPZ1100...
All the dents and rusted parts are collected here.


Its alive


Just remember, this is just for a couple of months...(I really hope!)


I like the look!.


For the real project, I am waiting for some new parts from Z1 Enterprise, I will Gun-kote some parts tomorrow, (swingarm, triple tree, and some other parts..) so something happens at leasts...
Pics will come!

Always good to read your posts Roy, [and of course see your pics]. I never realised the Norwegians had such a great sense of humour!
Look at the number of views this post has had
Keep up the good work, good luck with your other projects.

I can't believe you never saw any of the Nowegian Z1OC club mags Phil - very droll, the bits in English anyway can't speak about the Norwegian bits.

Thank you boys!
Really nice of you.

I can only talk for my self, and I am >> <<

OK, over to the pictures.

Since my oven was not big enough to take a swingarm, I did some modifications on it.




Build up with light fire bricks, 5 cm thickness.


The parts on the way to the final heat treatment.


Done.








I will start on put the parts together soon.
Cant wait to start on the engine...

This one looks like a surprised Aztec lizard. That might be the N2O talking.

Damn those addictive cream whippets.

Way to go Roy, project Calfshit is pure gold

[RoyNorway]

Hehe, its more like my ex girlfriend(s) said; ROY!, everything you touches turn into shit! (and not gold!)
She of course left me after saying that.
Tarts they are!!!!

Cant wait to see a 2meter high gay blackleatherchaingold (?) dressed Rob Halford !!!

Ollie:

Judas was great! we got a big laugh when he entered the stage in a devil costume and a BIG red fork...

Ok, here is the latest news, finally I can start to bring things together, its a good feeling that is.

I received some parts today, and waiting for some more, but its on the way now.

Banging out the old bearing.


Using the old when installing the new one.


Heating up the tree bearing before installing, makes it easier.


Using a pipe and gently bang it down with a hammer until its on place.


Done.


This is fun, finally after sandblasting and painting, time for results!


And waiting for swingarm bearings and washers, I think I will use the GSX swing a while before I use the TL1000R swing I just bought on Ebay, and shipped home with help of my friends here on the forum. THANKS!
