playing with cbr’s
The other day we started up the “left in the rain for 10 years” cbr6, exhaust was full of muck.
Took some cleaning up, even got my helmet.
So yesterday, decided to re-stealth my own cbr6, why? i’m back delivering pizza, need monies. Anyway stainless F3 can wont fit so i chopped up the mount tab and made it fit.
Next up was a better box, took it apart for measurements. dirty huh?
Ex-school tables to the rescue again. you can see what i did to the F3 pipe here too.
Lobster backed and fish mouthed the side support bar. Serious engineering terms i kid you not.
All done now, just waiting for the paint to dry, the least fun part of any project. Will have the road test on friday night, it’ll be perfect or the pizzas will end up all over the road. right after the turn up for Clarkes hill. at about 8:35.
A seat.
Don’ t think this is a very exciting update, chopped up the old benches in the shed and welding them to the tuk tuk
Fire? nope just an rs250 being started up.
Braced, still needs a bridge in front to lock the seat down. it’s only held in place by two bolts at the back at the moment.
Penetration shot…
Runs now, but i just parked it up, soggy ikky rain.
I has brakes!!!
Well it turned out that the bajaj shoe adjustment is done by the handbrake cable, no flipping auto adjustment! still spongy but it stops well, also it seems the holes in the floor have another use; light for when your working underneath 
won’t run now, figging carb.
Next i might have to go back to delivering pizza for extra money, so the cbr got a look over. Found a foot hanger that has a raised fulcrum point for better gear changes. It was in the scrap pile, looked brand new.
after some research it turned out it was an f3 hanger, and nope i didn’t have a f3 gear change lever. So i tried to make a new pivot brush, that didn’t turn out so clever, the lose brush i found was 0.17mm too big and after half an hour of filing i gave up.
So the lever i needed had to be 10mm spaced out, much easier to make then the blasted pivot.
needed a longer adjustment bar, rg125f to the rescue, 2secs in the vice to straighten it out.
On it goes, gear change has improved! thank fook, i would like a longer adjustment bar but thats a bugger to make, may just buy an f3 lever some time in the future, maybe if i make some money lol.
back to the shed
all hail not sitting on your arse eating leftover christmas chocolate.
found a 450 supermoto at the garage for repairs, engine is leaking life blood from everywhere, wouldn’t find that on a two-stroke. much.
on the other hand it wouldn’t have taken a proper mechanic to fix it either.
Got stuck into the bajaj, tore off the rear slaves to go see if desmond’s could re hone them, once they saw em, figured it would be easier to get new ones since they had similar ones off a peugeot, cept these were 19mm bore rather then 25mm, think they’ll match the 14mm master cylinder much better and they are dead cheap too. Another bonus there metric and desmonds would swap the imperial nipples for free. job done
‘Cept i ran out of light. curse you sun!
the new year
Well the stephens day classic run went great, i didn’t break down, i got a go off of a dt230 and i avoided the rain. On the other hand the damp road flung lots of crap about the place and i fecked up all the photos i took.

you can look at the shots anyway on my mums picasa album.
mucky jacket:
Even got some in the airbox, got that cleaned up and installed some lighter rollers again since the jetting feels spot on.
Treated the scooter to some duck tape.
Had a quick spin into town today, massive improvement in acceleration, must get a proper pipe one day. fuel consumption is as bad as ever at 7.55L/100km, that was at the classic run, it’ll probably be worse now with the lighter rollers.
Jobs over
Made about 70 baskets and they were all gone in one night. spine is wrecked from bending over them.
This cbr6 is looking like it will never return to the road in a nice condition, so fingers crossed i get my paws on it and turn it into a dual sport for the Mongolian trip..
Today i put the 115 main jet in the runners PWK carb, couldn’t take it for a spin since i didn’t have any rain gear, but loading it on the rear brake and a quick spin on the gravel out to the back and there was no bogging and felt like there was a lot more power to, didn’t sound ‘wet’ or rich so finger crossed for the classic spin this sunday.
hopefully more updates soon, not a lot done recently.
stuffed fluff
Well, been looking at this nsr50 tank,could stuff it under the arse of the cbr6/motard project, bit bulky, more dakar spec then supermotard.
This one i’m not allowed to cut up 
Works going well, what? you wanted pictures of the girls im working with rather then these lovely baskets? perverts! (i approve lol)
Nikis unintentional rat bros, i think it rocks.
something got finished (fuck titles)
Rightly tired now, not sure why i took a pic of a blaster 200 a couple of days a go. it certainly won’t fit in a rxs.
Mostly finished the busa today.
Both side are on to stay, dead battery now tsk.
In a burst of energy, i spotted the xtdr needed a head light. so i put it on, taa daa!
Got a job btw, yep working in the body shop in town, expect second hand makeup applied to bikes soon.
More runner jetting
Well parts have finally come for the runner, the oko parts are much nicer (things like a proper seal on the air screw and it’s all brass not plated cheap metal) then the motoforce parts, when i get another one (possibly for the rxs) it’ll be an oko, none of this shit cheap copy of a copy of a copy.
Also fitted new fuel pipes and put a tiny drain hole at the bottom of the airbox, and went for a spin to the petrol station, took 11.33 litres to fill it, so about 11.5 litres for a full tank. after a longer spin with a 107 main jet installed the full throttle flat spot was worse so i’ve ordered a 112 and a 115 which should be spot on.
Got a bargain hayabusa clock cage, fairing fit great now, but i still need some tiny hard to find screws to finish the other side.
Great looking benly 125, first thing we talked about was how to make it something other than glacially slow. turbo rat rod bike?
Chinese three wheelers and tdr bits
While searching for tdr parts i spied this at GMC
It’s got some tiny probably 250cc water cooled shaft drive engine
but some awesome harley grips, a tape player, a sun roof, and air con! (a leccy fan hanging off the ceiling)
the doors with winding windows did not interest me at all ohno, live axle drift awesome!
Anyway back to work, we got this running bent framed tdr for €400
to match this dead pile of poop with good frame and dead engine
yesterday i got the good engine out, and repaired the dodgy loom, branded the tip of my finger on a hot earth washer lol
Not sure i like the small and click able images, thoughts?
