screwing around with bodywork here and there.  Finally sorted out the rear pillion cover mount for the most part.  Need to wet sand with 5000 grit, cut and polish,....eventually.


fender mounts redone and seem ok.  Might be too close on rotor side.  May need an extra washer or two in there to give it more clearance.

I love your updates!!! Woot toot

Been hating the round headlight so trying out a new one.





This is just the bodywork for the light.  Need to clear it and get it ready to mount.  I think it goes better with the bike's lines than the round headlight. 

Thx show for your input too

You're quite welcome

messing around with this headlight set up.  Maybe I need to move it back a little.  Any critics?
I did take it out for a few passes and my forks with sonics springs are fookin amazing!  Bow and respect to Mr. Desmond!  My exhaust was scraping on turns and now it is GOOD.  Really happy with that.

Need to make some side panels, clean up, and,...I'm sure there'll be something else to do,...

  That looks sooooooo good cbr!!!

Poor bike just can't break the cbr curse,...

So it had been popping out of second gear here and there and then got worse.  I wanted to go in and fix it.  Couple weeks ago, I left it on the front porch runnning and it over heated and kealed itself.  Maybe I could get it running but I'm going to take it apart and store it until I can clear up other projects.  Want to find a gsxr1000 engine and try that.
Anyways,...
start taking it apart,...


next day,..

Welp, that sux. However, seems maybe a blessing in disguise. At least it croaked on your porch rather than while you were riding it in rush hour traffic.

That's what I told my wife!  I watched it on the security cam afterwards,...  Started spewing fluid, then burst fluid,..then started smoking and,...dead.  haha 

Am keeping a good pov on it though,......have other ideas I want to try (insert diabolical laughter)


annnnd,...a little more from this weekend before I drag everything upstairs into the attic moto storage,...

was kind of moment



no more cbr stuff for me

 
NOT what I was expecting to read in the latest post! Sorry to hear about your loss, will keep you and your frame in my thoughts and prayers.  hehe

I will post again when I catch up on the news running up to the heart's unfortunate end.

Jumping from my other thread back to this one. 

Hoarding gs parts and picking up another roller turd recently, I thought to restore the frame back to gs and putt around on it, maybe sell it eventually.

With more than enough engine stuff lying around, I want to put one engine together and use it in the turd after I fix the frame.

Taking these two engines apart to see what's wrong with them.  The crapbike (silver) engine looks like it had water sitting in one cylinder.  That sleeve is ruined.  Crank nipple sheared off but I might be able to weld/fix that. 

The black engine is from Phlogistian that came with basically another engine and more in totes.  It has a zillion miles on it but the cam lobes are in better shape than the silver one.  It also has a 2010 rebuild date stamped on the block and 2016 date stamped on the head, so that's interesting.
