Now I know why I'm tired all the time, I seem to have a double-life. :puzzled:

:burn:

If only it was that easy :(

I had a spare afternoon so I've just chucked a frame, forks swingarm and wheels at my 620 motor and everything fits fine.

Apart from the minor detail of not being able to fit the tank over the battery and ECU......

Looks like I will have to chop up the loom and relocate the battery and ECU as the original Monster tank wont fit the frame. Still I've got two months until Cadwell!!

...and 3 months until the first round at Brands Hatch (vote C)

:lol::lol::lol::D

Another update!

The frame is back from the powder coaters, as modelled by my lovely assistant Mark the Pit Bitch.

PS. Ignore the cars in the workshop, I just couldn't decide which colour I liked...

OOOOO Yeah! Looking good!

Is that Clarkson's queue of replacement cars?

I couldn't possibly comment, but I quite fancy the Mustang GT up on the ramp...

Mark the Pit Bitch gets a firm grip on his spanners and tightens his nuts...

Looking good...

lookin good not long now :)

Antonye how much did the stand cost you and where did you get it from, looks like a cool bit of kit.

Murray

I have one that is brand new and I've never used it - they are great.

I'll sell it to you if you like.

It was free :lol:

It belongs to Mark, he brought it round to help build the bike up at a comfortable level. You can raise and lower it as you want. Great bit of kit. He'll be along shortly to let you know...

Murray, you have a u2u.

Mark.

Oi! Get back in the garage or I'll get the whip out again! :devil:

More pics from the dungeon...

Optimistic rev counter...

Billet master cylinder!!!:o Very tasty. :D

The angle on the bars looks very steep, will almost certinly give you grief if you plan on keeping the standard SS fairings. My harris ones were like that and meant I had to run almost sod-all lock to get through scrutineering. I later discovered at Cadwell that lock is a good thing, especially when trying to avoid highsiding!:lol:

Cheers,

Ali

Aren't you gunna clean it? You should be ashamed :P

:lol:

Very nice Ant.

HMMMM BLING, we like :D

They're the same bars I ran last year. I modified the fairings to suit - you only need to shop a little out of the side pieces.

This year they're a little bit higher anyway, so it may be ok without modifying them. I've got last years fairings plus a new set waiting to be painted, so we'll see which one is done first.

I think we all know which one has been done :lol::saint:;):D

Many times. Many, many times.

Awww ((((((((hugs))))))))) :lol:

At least you get to have a holiday in San Fran every fortnight ;):smug:

Looking good I like the ali swinger :devil:

Well more than the Ali swinger above who is decidedly dodgy ;)

Is he a swinger? Hrmm, does Saara know? I guess she must - hence the word 'swinger' :lol:

I was referring to his ability to swing on a set of handle bars :D

But you never know in these sexually liberated times we live in.
who would have thought Dickie would have been pulled off in a bands garage when he wasn't even in the same team.

Stay vigilant mate you know it makes sence :lol:

This episode of Carry On DSC starred...

:D

I swing on the track, I swing at home, and I sometimes swing in the park (pigtails and plaid skirts), but none of these are open for discussion....:lol:

:D :D :D

run out of black insulating tape for the numbers this year:puzzled:

looking great.

Cheeky fscker! I had those numbers on for most of last year as well!

I'm using last years fairing as this years are not ready yet. They should be done in time for Brands though.

Just adding a couple of hoover tubes like on Geoff's bike... ;)

Looks fantastic mate. Well done. Especially like the little bracket for the brake/clutch resevoirs.... :D

Ali

I love these build reports. The bike looks fantastic, lot of work gone into that. Love all the little details like the ones the other guys have mentioned.

Mind you, it seems like a doctor or someone with the same standard of handwriting has scribbled something about fuel on the tank..

Well done Antonye, look forward to seeing it racing.

The standard of prep on the DD field looks like it's taking a big step forward judging by the bikes I've seen on here and in the flesh.

Here's hoping they all stay shiny side up,

Ray.

That'll be Mitch the Mechanic's dodgy writing ;)


Cheers! Don't forget to come and say hello.
