gday all.. finally the chassis is all welded and bolted together (tho ive left the centre stand on there till i finish the build)
chassis mods thus far have been...
chopped subframe, replaced with a "mini" one, that allows a hayabusa subframe to be bolted on.
the R1 swingarm, has been reduced in width, and the bearings have been brought in.
i had to have new bearing collars machined up, in order to fit between the mainframe rails.
the rear brake master cylinder holding braket has been moved over 6mm (outwards) in order to clear the swingarm.
the top shock mount was fabricated from 6mm HT mild steel, and welded to the original shockmount, so its not going anywhere. the dogbone link was then bolted inbetween the 2 mounting points of the centre stand. the rear shock is Yamaha R1 item.
the front... has had the bearing races replaced in order to run tapered needle bearings in the headset, and likewise fitted to the gsxr750 tripples, which then run down to the gsxr 750 USD forks, and the RGV250 4 pot capilers.
next on the to do list is to finish up the intake manifold, the intercooler fitment, finalise the turbo install and also make up some rearsets (given up looking!!)
heres some pics... enjoy.
cheers.joe.
