Sean Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Posted September 21, 2008 Cheers Andy, I think ill stick with the tzr for a bit, can't see my self on a 400 for a while yet. Would kill myself.
r1-daz Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 That's a tidy looking motor,me like You've done a nice job of that! What have you painted the barrel and cases with? How did you polish the clutch side cover?(I might be stealing your secret for my CR500 motor!) Daz
Sean Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Posted September 22, 2008 Hi Daz, the barrel and head were painted with PJ1 satin black engine case paint, and the crank cases were also PJ1 metallic silver yamaha engine case paint. Satin Black http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PJ1-MOTORCYCLE-PAINT...id=p3286.c0.m14 Metallic silver is available from most yamaha dealers It was one can for each but you may need more, the clutch cover i polished using a bench grinder with a polishing mop atachment http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SIP-6-Bench-Grinder-...id=p3286.c0.m14
Acid Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 god that came up really well when it go back into its home sean?
Sean Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Posted September 23, 2008 Hi hopefully fingers crossed the frame and every thing is back from the powder coaters at the end of this week, its pretty much ready to go once ive done a few little jobs on it. Then once the wheels get back from shotblasting, there off with the body work to get sprayed up. The aim is to have it done by my birthday on the 9th of october, i know its not long but it can be done
Hendo Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 Is the engine standard or modified in any way? If you finish the rest of the bike to that standard, I wanna be at the front of the queue if you ever sell it! Andy
Sean Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Posted September 23, 2008 Is the engine standard or modified in any way? If you finish the rest of the bike to that standard, I wanna be at the front of the queue if you ever sell it! Andy Hi Andy, the engine is on +1.00 bore, and apart from the YPVS kit is standard. The rest of the bike is standard, apart from various polishing that i hav e done to alloy parts like the fork legs and caliper hanger. The disk centres are sprayed gold. And i have a micron exhaust lined up for it. Sorry but it wont be for sale for along time
