CandyRedRC46 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Needs moar ceramic coated 98/99 header. But good job so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted December 2, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 2, 2016 I was thinking about the 98/99 header but I don't want to throw money at headers that will be replace when tyga gets around to making some. from what I have read last couple days is that it is still going to be done, just not right off. I can live with stock until the good stuff rolls out, maybe next winter I will do tyga and rapid bike. that will give me this summer to get a base line dyno pull done. oh hell I need to find a local guy that has a dyno.

Are you swapping hubs? I read this thread 3 times wondering if it was explained and I just missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted December 2, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 2, 2016 haha nope did not miss it here. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/80049-rear-wheel/&page=4 I started buying parts about 2 years ago, got it mounted on my 02, then I bought the 07 and this bike deserves it more.

Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted December 26, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 26, 2016 Ok little bit of a update. Been sick last week or 2 kinda blending together right now so no real progress been made. lucky for me this morning I woke up feeling good so tonight I made it to the shop, got some sandblasting done. here is a couple parts that came in last week. ok we all know what the 3rd part is. The first 2 are also from sebspeed. It is a real nice plate mount that I had him make for me, going off a piece I had made out of plastic. It came out damn near perfect. It will be getting powder coated to match everything else and shouldn't even be noticed when done. (except the big green plate that will be mounted to it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted January 2, 2017 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 2, 2017 got some more updates for everyone, after being sickly for a week or so I got back into powder coating, and not to toot my own horn or pat my own back, damn these parts came out NICE.

Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted January 3, 2017 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 3, 2017 thanks man. I am just glad I am feeling better now and can get back to being productive again. the plate mount that seb made for me all powdered and ready to go it mounts using to oem piece seen here, also allows me to use my givi/Kappa saddle bag mount the light lights up perfect, these are not the final hardware I will be using, just used it to make sure it all works well not much to say here, just a bunch of black parts and last but not least is my sub frame, same treatment, and in the back ground you can see the saddle bag mounts, same treatment as well. now I am just waiting on my shock to get back from Jamie with a extended hose on it to mount it up a little nicer, then I can mount all this goodness. then turn the bike around and do the same to the front.

You should be tooting your own horn and patting yourself on the back - this is inspired work! The 10 spoke in white should look fantastic on it - I'm stoked to see it on the completed bike. You'll definitely have a one of a kind RWB for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loftust Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Looking good! I like the matt black finish you've gone for - it looks really smart. Top tip: refit the undertray before pillion peg brackets - I scratched one of mine (also powdercoated) because I fitted them in the opposite order. One point you may want to note, is that the bracket that attaches to the licence plate bracket to the bike should be removed as part of the pannier installation, and replaced with a much sturdier version. There is a guide on here in the luggage section that has further details. Are you replacing the bolts with stainless ones? I found that the tarnished and slightly rusty mild steel bolts detracted from the overall look of the bike; our weather is a bit crummier than yours though,s yours may be in better condition...

Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted January 3, 2017 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 3, 2017 90% of the bolts are in good condition. A couple around the chain guard are pretty rough. Bike on had 3400 miles when I bought it last year so pretty clean. Just the bolts that were not easy to get to got crapped on. this is the 3rd 6 gen I have torn down like this so I get the pan vs peg mount issue but thanks for the heads up. Cannot wait to get my shock back. Then I can mount sub frame back on. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mikey Posted January 3, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted January 3, 2017 3D that is going to be an awesome 07 RWB, I am also in the black it out camp. Can't wait to see it all together, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My viffer has 70k on it, so no wonder the majority of the bolts are looking worse for wear, but yeah, the ones near the chain guard were particularly bad as well. That said, the long one through the frame and engine was by far the worst, and was seized in the engine. I'd definitely recommend taking it out and giving it a good lube, thus preventing galvanic corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long engine mounting bolt at the back was seized pretty solid on my 5th Gen when I took her apart. It was only a BIG lump hammer and some very large hits got it out. I wish I had some of the skills on show on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted January 6, 2017 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 6, 2017 well just set the wheel on tonight its not tight yet I am waiting on my shock from Jamie D tracking number says tomorrow so yippie... so I am in need of some new lug nuts, 5 blue ones and it will match my clutch, anyone got some or got a ebay link to the right ones to get? also I am about to push the button on lowering foot pegs for myself. the knight design ones look really nice but for $200 shipped is there anything else out there? maybe I don't need the ones with the rubber on them? anybody got any ideas?
