I was impressed with all the members work thats been posted this weekend so decided to show you what ive been working on.Still not finished the GSXR400 but its due to other projects.
Guys at UoN built an electric bike that happens to be VERY quick and came to me to replace the pretty much Knackered old glass panels
Ive put a link below to their facebook that interested parties can read and get some info on the bike.
Please follow and like their page.
https://www.facebook.com/UoNElectricMotorbike/The pictures don't show just how battered the old parts are but ive used over 8 ltrs of bondo so far and ive still got two lowers to start.
old Fairing
We decided to cut the fairing into three giving a nose and two side panels.
one of the new side panels as it came out of the mould.
Left the screen on as it held the nose cone square plus i wanted to change the screen making it smaller like moto gp style,
the new nose would be lighter than the screen and it gives more advertising space.
also had to make a new mount to reconnect the side panels, lower picture.
Can't explain how bad the seat was. picture just doesn't show it, every edge was out.
finished seat looking sweet.
Finished ready for fitting, even reworked the emergency off switch saving 140 grams.
The dummy tank, again not too straight.
This needs to be reworked 30mm higher to allow for the new battery system.
This is where im at now.
The initial fit up is spot on, looks a bit of a beast but actually feels nice when sat on the bike.
the black square is the battery area below.
