Supertex Build

Right now both will be stock. Thought about the dual headlight set-up from poly26 but that will wait for a while. I will go with a wheel hugger from them if I can ever afford it.

gotcha, when i was thinking about keeping my front fairing stock and wanted a dual headlight set i thought about just fiberglassing and insert using the stock headlight as a template and then getting the dual headlights to mount in there from poly26..thats what it looks like they and just fiberglass the housing for the lights to fit light insert...

another question, as far as rear caliper bracket..i have 3 spacers from jaime d..one is 14mm which is on the right of wheel hub and 2 on the left...one is 16mm(closest to wheel) and the other 8mm(other side of caliper bracket). would those be the ones you were referring for f2 rear caliper bracket swap?

 

Yeah, though I was unaware that there were a 14 and a 16. Toe had them in his hand so I didn't measure them myself. After we put the 2 larger spacers on and did a preliminary mount we measured for the 3rd, then found one that would fit. It came out great that way. I should point out since the 700 is also designated f2 that we used the brake caliper bracket from a stock CBR F2.

 

Gotcha...cool thanks.

 

Okay i just measured the spacers i had..the right side came up (12.7)13mm, the left closet to the rim (15.875) 16mm and the one outside the brackets is 8mm. and the VFR's brackets works dead on. i gotta get a cbr f2 rear bracket to see if it will fit. okay let me get back to typin these instructions out for the rear conversion.

 

You will need a different spacer for the f2 bracket. It has a different width at the axle. When I get home tonight I'll try to get some measurements for you.

 

cool, those other 2 have to be different somewhere, hopefully i can grind down the inner spacer to make room for the cbr bracket.

 

No, the cbr bracket is thinner than the vfr one. you will need a bigger spacer than what came, most likely. I did.

 

damn that bike is looking more badass every time i look at it that thing looks like a mountain runner to me!! :thumbsup:

 

what forks are you running on it now?


yo tex i still have the motor and a few other pieces from my 87 700 ill make you a sweet deal you can have the motor if you pay for shipping its a good motor ran when i removed it and didnt leak oil..its up to you

PM that little hooker Fredsncoma....he needs an engine if Tex does not.:biggrin:

 

We have 5th gen forks on. All we have to think of now is a way around the linked brakes.

Yes, I've been thinking of a way to get your engine, since mine is obviously not going to stop leaking, but I got demoted 4 weeks ago and money's tighter than ever. I'm hoping to get a job with another company that will increase the flow of green. If I can get some extra (extra...ha...funny) cash I'll PM you.

 

try looking at some of the CBR's before they went to inverted forks.. thats cool man i still got it so if you want it just say the word..

 

VTR(Superhawk) forks sliders(bottoms) + F4i brakes. Ask mello dude. :thumbsup:

 

paint

How is the paint coming along?

 

Focusing on making it legal and safe for my trip in 2 days. Paint was going fine until I started dragging the pieces all over and then they fell from where I had them hanging. Will just make it so I'm not embarrassed to sit on it then will fix better when I get back.

 

let me know

let me know if you need to borrow a tail section for your trip/inspection.

Im in Lincoln.

Well?

Where you at in this project?Gonna make it?Should I start unbolting parts or what?:biggrin:

 

Bump

How aboot some pic's of the new bike? Please do not make us beg. We will but it is not right.:tongue:

 

Alright folks for those who haven't seen the new pony here she is as of last night.
Sorry my camera work leaves a little to be desired.




I'll have some more shots of current work being done today some time as I have already
begun tearing into both bikes, taking all my goodies from the first build and moving them to
Charlie. (the new stallion) CBR rear and 5th gen front end will be coming over as well as the
fox shock and most likely the exhaust. Got another 4-2-1 from Fred (that I have yet to send a check for) that might make the trip instead but we will see. Would be kinda sweet to make the stock duals into a dual high mount exhaust.
