Boot State Update..

Utgun....  Boy your on here more than me. lol. Thanks, I hope some of this will be able to answer some questions for people and help someone out there. Because the wiki and some other threads dont really go into detail about the little parts of the installs. like cutting the tabs off and such.

[Toogoofy317]

You should add that to the Wiki! What good does that do though is it more comfortable? Seems like a lot of work for asthetics! I like the GSXR pegs like I have. Someone else did the grinding though thanks Grommet!

Yeah I'm unemployed ATM so I spend a lot of time search for jobs and when I need a break I surf here for awhile.  I agree, once its done add it to the Wiki.  They are great articles but not as indepth as many would like.

*edit* plus I think being on PST I'm one of the last people on here for the night, so I'm usually the last poster for people who check in the morning on the east coast lol

[Chanse]

Im on here all the time I work graveyard at a casino and there is a PC in the break room, I get a break about every hour and a half, Then Im on at home always checkin on stuff I bought or checkin out the reply's.... I get all of about two or three hours of sleep a night.

Mary:  The reason I went with the cbr rearsets is because they fit with minimal modification, Astetics, a better lean angle (your pegs wont drag in a steap lean), and a more aggressive foot position, (they move the pegs back about an inch and a half), and up like 2 inches. Try riding with your toes on the foot pegs instead of the arch of your foot keep the same angle of your foot as normal and thats about where they are.

OKAY OKAY, I just added it to the Wiki, Its 4am and all but Just for you guys. When I wake up and get some time I'll check it to see if I missed anything.   

Well SCREW IT, I just spent like an hour and a hlf put this crap on the wiki and I save it exit out, close the browser and go back to it to check and BAM its gone..    . WTF, Oh well you guys are just      S....O....L.....    Im not doing all that crap again. Anyone else is welcome.

[utgunslinger13]

lol thats the worst!

Chanse, depending on what size tire you run on the Kat wheel....nevermind. Any size tire you run on the Kat wheel( the whole purpose of the Kat wheel is for wider rubber) and you won't be albe to use the hugger that you mentioned. You might be able to get away with a lower profile 150 but it would be very close. Must have been nice to have received the stock MC with the rearsets. I remember it being a PITA to get the ZUK MC to work with the rearsets. My brakeswitch practically fell apart in werase643's hands when he was installing them, so I don't have a clue as to were that supposed to go. Show me a pic of how you have yours... 

[Chanse]

What do you think about this position? cant really tell how comfortable it would be, beings how Im doing it by myself, I cant jump on and look at it at the same time... lol

[Chanse]

Same position maybe a little higher? I dont know.... Oh and how do you like the rear (Jack) stand? I can now pick the back end up off the ground by like 10 or 12 inces... lol

For the passenger rearsets? Wouldn't it be better to mount them to the subframe? 

[Chanse]

Those are Ducati 1000 multistrada they are supposed to mount to the rear sets of the duc. So Im fabricating some brackets to sandwich between the rearsets and frame then using the stock rear peg mounts that I cut off, moving them forward and shortening them to give a little support from the top. Im also trying to keep the area between the tire and undertail as clear as possible, while keeping rear pegs.. Understand?

[ineedanap]

hey, great job on the rearsets.  If you decide that you want a shorter arm (and in turn a shorter throw between gears) two easy ways are


08 Hayabusa arm with woodcraft SV650 rod and cbr pedal (what I have now)




modified cbr f3 stuff with gs500 arm (what I had before)




Using the first one will give you a nice short 3/4 inch "throw" between gears.  Second one isn't too bad either.  If someone wants the second one they can have it for the price of shipping.  

[Chanse]

Thanks ill keep that in mind. It will probably be towards the end of the build. You know how doing things on a budget can get. Get everything functional first then astetics come later. I bet it sure is nice to have unlimited funds and unlimited resources like some people out there, Of course I'll never know... lol

[Chanse]

Just about done with paint.

[kml.krk]

any pics of the progress?

[Chanse]

Yes but Id have to kill ya.... lol

[kml.krk]

uh... oh... I will just wait patiently and quietly 

[Chanse]

Lol, shouldn't be too much longer to wait, just checked my mail and their putting on the finishing coats and then doing a final inspection before shipping. so a few more days...... cant wait.

[Chanse]

There was an earlier discussion about how terrible rattle can paint can be... you decide. OK heres the pics of the Kat rear wheel, Its been sitting waiting for my tires to get in so the paint has had time to cure well, especially sitting in a hot car for about two weeks, I sandblasted the wheel, rubbed it down with brake parts cleaner, or acetone if you have it handy, then painted with rustoleum performance wheel paint silver metallic, with rustoleum performance clear coat on top. turned out really well, no trash in the paint the speckles shown are actually some of the bits of metal flake reflecting light. I left the bearings in when blasting and painting because they were frozen anyways and I have All ballz bearings waiting... here's some pics. Let me know what you think.
