coming together nicely from the look of it
i keep threatening to give mine the 600 treatment but cam & cleg have pinched all my pennies

it's looking good

Have you been working on the bike ???? "said in anticipation"

Yes

I cleaned the forks up because they were minging (not my fault!)-



and I also cut the standard mudguard off the front to fit the R1 mudguard a little better. Here they are in the bike-



A (very!) roughed out rear caliper hanger, it's only on there like that to make sure I got the measurements right. I think the proper one will be made from thicker ally rather than the 4.7mm I used here, just because the caliper bolts need somewhere to thread into and it'll avoid the need to use spacers to hold the standard caliper out from the disc-



Some ally dogbones just to hold the rear of the bike up I have an R6 shock to fit but it's at the engineering firm that are making up the shock adapters to make sure they fit properly.



and a side on view of not much happening!



I'll get some more done today hopefully

Looking forward to seeing how this develops. I've got to sort the air/fuel issues with mine before i use it in anger.

I may be forced to part company with it as i need to raise funds for a new addition to the family (one with 4 limbs, not 2 wheels )

Don't suppose the 4jh came with any useable plastics you wanna sell, just dropped mine on a straight road, think i just overbraked the front end n it went down hard on the right side, need the main right hand panel (as you sit on the bike) and the Nose/cockpit fairing, willing to pay cash if you have em and are willing to ship em to me in weymouth in dorset. DT4 9DB.

Cheers Q.

Hi Q,

Sorry, the plastics went a while ago.

I've done a bit more on the bike (pics later on today when I remember!). The bike is wired using the 600 loom and there's life in the fuel pump, plus the engine turns over on the starter which is nice.

I need to paint the wheels (white!), sort the seat unit mounts out and dig the swingarm chain rubber out from wherever I put it (somewhere 'safe' ) I always, always forget to put the chain rubber on before I put the swingarm in

Righty-o, I have done some more stuff to the bike :)

The Thunderace front end is in and the brakes are plumbed-



That's an R1 mudguard (2004 I think).

I fitted the R6 shock using an adapter-



and made a pattern to use as the airbox bottom-



with the Ramair filters fitted over the top, the tank will be the airbox lid-



and fitted the TRX rear wheel into the swingarm-



that's a mock up of the proper caliper hanger.

and I cut and shut the front fairing to take a single round headlight. It's off a 3EN1 FZR400 and a little larger than I wanted but I just couldn't bring myself to put H*nda parts (CBR400) on my bike



It's getting there, slower than I wanted but faster than I feared! I've had it up and down the street (it's still taxed and MOTed!) and it feels ok. I can't wait to ride it on new tyres :)

Nice work kayla i like your style

What is it exactly you've done to the shock mount? looks like a massive extention and converted the bottom mount from a eyelet to a fork type mount???

Thanks!

It's a shock adapter-

It's so you can use a 2006-on R6 shock on a 3TJ. The extension puts 50mm on the length of the shock.
