SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Rebuilding the GPR, it's getting a color change too Triples and GPR mount painted, starting bar assembly Color scheme teaser Added supports to the lower sub mounts, prevent any pivoting. they key off the nubs I welded in earlier. Picked up this NIB Hotbodies undertray for a song Needs a little work to close this gap Chain cleaned and back on At the other end, flyscreen progress ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Airbox lid modded to keep mice out, removed flapper and snorkel Doing a little templating It makes measuring for CAD entry easier Repurposed a Duc carbon reservoir bracket for the rear res Drew up some parts to hold the Antigravity battery It uses the CBR tank mount locations Welding thin to thick was fun Still fits, proceed Little strip of velcro to hold'er steady And a bit of foam underneath for a little anti-vibe Painted the headlight ring for that P51 look. Thinking about black checkering also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Made and welded this threaded bung here (welding .500" to .040"... fun again) Which allows me to secure the undertray And I got started on the mount for the gauge Continuing w the gauge mount... some templating again... "CAD"... cardboard aided design 😄 Carve that little guy outta there and glue him on. Space .125" on 1 side to center the .250" gusset on the .5" rod...

SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Skipping a bit of wiring harness junk... This is the seat cowl release. I like to shave the lock from the CBR tail cowl, so it needs a new method of opening. It's made from a spare release cable (from the pile, not sure what it came from anymore), a spent .45ACP case, stainless 10mm cap screw and a piece of 1/2" AL rod. I had to modify the oem latch a bit to get the cable pulling in the right spot. Case was cut down in the lathe and the cable end cast in epoxy inside the shell.

SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Skipping harness stuff again, show a little paint work. Doing a helmet to match the bike theme. The plan is brushed silver with a riveted panel look, topped with pearl green and a yellow pinstripe to give it the old warbird look. Taping the helmet was a pain, scuffing new paint is easy though! Sealer Fine silver base I took all the parts home with no clear on, then scuffed the areas that were staying silver with a fine white scotch brite pad to give a brushed metal look. Then started laying pencil lines guided by pinstripe tape (nerve wracking on the contoured stuff!). Then laid out a few hundred custom rivet decals I had made ( @throttlepimp is the man!). They are chrome vinyl dots with shadow crescents printed on them. These were the tools, and the sheets were full when I started! The brushing doesn't look like much until the clear goes on, and then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Time for some documentation of the moto-neurosurgery... The patient on the table with some preliminary excess marked I had a to add a shelf for the ecu. I welded a plate to the same subframe brace that I attached my undertail to. I like to work my way from the middle out when rebuilding harnesses, usually from the battery, but in this case it was easier to start at the back from the ecu. I started by taking pics of the connectors and then cutting out a large section of the wires. New terminals came from cycleterminal.com, highly recommend them. I had my son remove all the rubber seals so I could reuse them Reinstalled seals on the shortened wires and crimped the new terminals Here's a better visual of how much was chopped out Still have to make all this fit somehow I had to buy a new oem plastic tray to chop as all the dummies on ebay wanted new price for broken parts, and the one I had was broken. It hides a lot of the wiring nicely With PC installed Bit of a squeeze, but everything fits and I retained some "trunk space" under the rear cowl by keeping everything under the seat. That's the rear wiring done save for the taillight plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Taping all the lines was a bitch, and I get to do it all 1 more time for the yellow pinstripe. But first some pics of it all at home before I scuff it all again... Prep for yellow and final clear ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Inside of the undertray painted with satin black and taillight test fitted, it's an integrated signal unit Really happy with the paint design on the tail, but that black rubber won't do So cover with leather same as the seat Finished the helmet but the sun didn't want to cooperate on picture day 😞 Looks a little greener inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Needed some motivation so stuck the tank and seat on for little excitement... it worked :) Capped the tstat bleed return hose Replaced the fuel filter Excess wiring removed to date The start of Motoscope pro wiring Adding this tiny 1a fuse for it was a pita... really glad I have crimpers And it needs a relay for the fuel light to work 86'd the bank angle sensor, wanted to fit it in the headlight housing but no room for it Finished out the undertray Installed the tail (Vewy vewy Caewfuwwy!) Taillight wiring done, ignition wires pulled up into tail where the Mlock will reside Cleaned up in the shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Powdercoated fender struts satin tex black, painted the radiator tanks and supports rattlecan satin tex black Turned up a couple of these Because I didn't like the 90 deg mounts. Couple clamps and done, had to make a retainer plate for the clutch side as the CBR1000RR res was integrated previously ] Wiring... ugh... need to make friends with someone who does my level of work and would trade wiring for welding or machining... heh Relays and breakout box tucked into headstock area, all attached with sticky back industrial velcro At long last, the gauge is alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Motogadget likes getting your money, so of course they don't offer a water temp sensor that threads into the oem Honda spot like Koso does. So I made this Had to unwrap the harness to pull a couple more leads and grounds and integrate the motoscope gauge wiring Forgot the left side, but here's the right side pass-thru hole for the Rizoma bar end signals Airbox snugged down and wiring tucked in Time to drop the tank on, add a bit of gas and check for leaks All good there, need a coolant overflow still. Didn't feel like hanging anything off the motor on the right side, opted to make this tube tank and mount it low on the left, off what was a fairing bracket mount tab. Hose come off the rad, crosses over the front head behind the radiator, drops down the left side to the inlet/pickup tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Needs paint and loctite, then I can mount the sensor in the correct proximity to register the speedo impulses. :) Damper stem base... if it looks familiar, it's because I used the same program to cut the fidget spinner for the speedo pickup. Chucked the blank in the mill and finished the holes (I don't normally chuck cutters in drill chucks, btw...) I forgot to take a pic of the op, but I did have to ball mill a clearance groove to clear the tank flange Then turned up a stem from 5/8 stock Had to do a little trimming in the lathe to fix the length, all good now. Stem is drilled & tapped for a small cross bolt because I'm a dumbass and drilled through instead of doing a deep counterbore for the stem, should have been drilled and tapped for a bolt in the bottom but it's stable enough as it is, save my spare for another time.

SEBSPEED Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Speed sensor reed switch installed Pulled front wheel to scrub it and the rotors clean, also pulled both tires and installed Ariete angled stems then re-balanced both. I found an issue with the clutch reservoir, the piece I made holds the nipple unevenly and allows fluid to leak, will need to address that pretty quick ] That didn't stop me from rolling it outside for pics though :) More pics and vids when photobucket stops being a bum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
