Rok_Stars_Bars Build Thread

[Rok_Stars_Bars]

Well I been a member on here since 2007. I was a hardcore member for about an year. Then I lost motivation for my bike. And now I'm finally going to put the bike together. Alittle Background, my wife and I decided to have a baby back in 2008. That's about the time, both of my tires were worn out. When both tires worn out, I decided it was time for the next step in my bike's build. Which I bite off alittle more then I could chew trying to perform theses mods and with having a new member of my family. And now 2 years later. I ready to ride again.

The pics will show the amount of work I got. A good bit. But Im ready to take it one at a time. I need this bike going so I could start heavily moding my Oldsmobile Cutlass.

My Current to Do List
* Install 750 oil cooler
* Install Hayabusa 6 piston calipers
* Install GSXR1000 rear rim
* PC the engine Covers
* Install Barnett Clutches and Springs
* Then put the bike together

Thanks man.... Im itching really bad too ride. All my friends have sold their bikes. Which is another reason for my lack of motivation.

I wish I could get an engine like u did. My Katana would be complete then.

keep an eye out, my first 1100 motor i got for $500 on ebay it was a complete bike with no title. then my second 1100 motor i got for $300 plus another $100 for shipping (motor only on that deal). so deals are out there

Well, I took all the fairings out of the attic. Dusted them off and cleaned them. Been along time. I just stuck a few screw on them. But alittle more motivation seeing fairings hanging.

[arsenic]

that ought to get you motivated, at least a little bit.

[dabaitman]

Got Motivation? We can help Heck Ill even cheer for ya! RA RA REE kick um in the knee RA RA RASS kick um in the other knee

[Rok_Stars_Bars]

My real motivation is going to hear the engine run. I think I'm going to order the gaskets I need tonight.

[Rok_Stars_Bars]

Going Back Stock. I just want to ride. Im going to finish my powder coating. The widen swingarm and Hayabusa brakes will be for another day.

Today, I order my Sprockets and Chain. And also the EX500 Windshield. I already received all my gaskets. We did our first real powdercoat last week on some 300zx Brake Calipers. It came out good. Now for my stuff.

I will be getting my tires probably next week. I would have them already. But someone got into my bank account. Now Im waiting on the bank to staighten that out.

Also, I paid my bike off last week. So it is Officially mine. First big purchase my wife and I made together.

[Rok_Stars_Bars]

Ordered my Tires (Pilot Powers) and Powder Coat today.

Going to try and Powder Coat the middle of my Rotors Ruby Red. Hopefully it comes out similar to the bikes color. If not, they will be Black.

The new mod since it was parked will be:
Blacken out the bike
750 Oil Cooler
EX500 WS
Barnett Clutches
Barnett Clutch Springs
Red Wheel Tape
And Maybe a Rear Cowl
