Supertex Build

One more with different tank and new windscreen from e-bay by way of Toecutter. Maybe it's just me but that screen gives it a late model Kawi look to me. I have since done a little something to the screen that I think I like so we'll see what everyone else thinks later.

 

Got some wheels folks. Rear from a CBR F2, front from a 5th gen since Toe has so graciously donated some forks and brakes from that bike. Got them powder coated and cleared through a friend of Toxic's. This color will be easy to clean and will look pretty good with the mostly white and red paint scheme I'm going with. Got a smoking deal on both of these wheels. rear came with everything including hub sprocket and rotor, all for $65 shipped. Front came with rotors as well for $95 shipped.

 

After receiving some spacers and my Fox shock rebuilt from Jamie, we started the install of the rear. Quick note: if you are going to use a caliper from an F2, which I do suggest, ask Jamie to make a 8mm spacer to make up for the difference in brake bracket width. We drilled an tapped the bracket to attach the brake arm. If you do it this way you don't have to bend anything or worry about braking anything.

Thrown in there for a test fit


Brake arm drilled and tapped.

 

Wow....everything is coming out very very well.

subframe

I will pull the sub frame off and fix the paint and touch up the engine and pipes next.

 

Did you swap your steering stem in the triples yet? (your stem -> 5th gen lower triple?)

 

Yeah. I haven't seen it yet but I think Toe picked it up from the machinist.

Body work

Alright some work to the panels needs to be done. The paint job won't be the best in the world
because I need to finish it now for my trip to Long's so bear with me. Both side panels were about
the same condition. The Paint will be white for the moment.

Upper cowl after some major sanding. I'm gonna close up the marker
holes so I can put in newer style LEDs.



First panel had some missing material on the air scoops, and a
broken piece at the middle connector hole. Second panel has
already had a ton of sanding and primer and now a white top coat.

 

Lowers

That lower looks good! Hooker.:thumbsup:

 

Thanks slut

 

So, you're not doing all this work yourself? Who's doing what?

 

Nice Tex, I've enjoyed this thread very much!
