lambchops wrote:What's required to fit the oz aprillia front wheel, have you used aprillia disks or do the cbr ones fit? Did you have to change internal collars and bearings also? Also do you know the weight of the front wheel before disks/ tyres? Sorry lots of questions

In 929 front end it almost drops straight in, you need new spacer to centre the wheel, thats about it, I used Mille disc's with 1mm washers between wheel and disc's to line them up with the calipers, they are super light.





So, progress, ground down and shaped the frame tops, started fitting the shock mount bar, will need to replace 320mm blade shock with a 290mm Aprillia item, off to ebay I go

Cabbie...? Did you ever do a write up on the tailpiece on your second project? Did you fabricate it from scratch and what about the subframe, looks like your using alloy plates or something...

keep up the good work BTW

Go look at chimpy's build, exactly the same set up

Al it's featured in this months Streetfighter mag. Was made from scratch with 1/4" ply sections tacked and taped and then the alloy sections were fitted over to weld into place. Same with tank

ah soz when he said the second project I thought he meant the Boxer!!

Looking good bud

Does look very good

oh yes very nice for the CNC work I guess you give him your templates and he makes them up, you dont design them in the software?

Looking good Cabbie ! Top man !

More work on the seat pattern, tapped up to check style and shape is as wanted.

Seat taking shape

subframe looks out of line. kill me

soz. second pic not good angle, but still...

looks great. Not 100% sure I like the angled look over the smooth rounded GP end on there before. Always hard to tell from pics though and of course its not finished yet so hard to tell

(I WAS only taking the piss by the way )

More progress on the seat pattern
