Looking Sweet!!!! :thumb:

 

Very NICE

 

I'm gonna go ahead and say it but I don't mean any disrespect to any other 900rr owners. but that is the best looking 900 I've seen. All the work looks really good. and ditching what was my least favorite part of the bike, the tail and replacing it with that gixxer rear really set it apart.

how much power that thing putting down?

Wowzers, That is one sweet looking bike you've got there.:thumb:

proud supporter of transplanting the new SV650 tail light to my bike one day.

 

Thanks guys!! I'm glad that you approve.

At the last dyno pull it did in October 2005, it put down 153.6 at the wheel. With the -1/+2 520 sprocket combo, I can't actually keep the front wheel down in second gear at WOT. :eyebrows:

 

hey, i was thinking of doing the same... do u regret going -1/+2, or do u wish in hindsight u did something else like -1/+1? also how much top end speed did u lose with that? ive heard top speed would be about 154mph with that set...

thanks

From one 900RR fan to another, that thing is NICE and SWEET.

 

Very well done.

 

Very very nice work ,:clap: :clap: :clap: !

 

Very nice. How do you like the wave rotors? I've been thinking of getting those for my 929.

 

So far, I love them. However, as I just finished the bike and the rotors/pads are still being bedded in, I haven't pushed the bike yet. But they seem to have great initial bite and they display none of the noise that I have heard others talk about. That may have something to do with the pads I am using.

And they look the business too!

 

Very nice job. Definately one of the nicest 900RR I have seen. Does the VFR swingarm bolt directly up to the 900 frame? Or did you have to make shims and spacers and such to make it fit? Again, very nice 900RR.

 

Thanks for all the nice compliments everyone! It's a good feeling to know that you all approve.

Re the 94-97 VFR 750 swingarm, it is almost a direct bolt up job. You do need a 25mm OD x 20mm ID x 20mm length spacer on the right side (can buy one from McMaster Carr for $5), and you need a 1mm thick, flat washer with a 20mm ID on the sprocket side to align the shock mount. Other than that, no problems with the fitment. You do need a longer chain (112 link) and if you want to conceal the brake line in the arm as I did, you'll also need a longer brake line (about 1.05 metres).

The one other thing that people do with the 750 arm is use the VFR800 wheel (as I did). This is b/c the 800 wheel is 5.5" wide (5" for the 750 wheel) so you can run a 180 series tire. But you do need to notch out the wheel mounting face to clear the exposed bolts on the hub. Easy job though - you just use an angle grinder.

OTOH, the VFR800 arm is not compatible with the 900RR unless you do some serious machining of the frame and the arm. That would have been too much work for me.

Cheers!

That is a very nice looking bike. You should be proud.

 

Nice Blade mate :clap:

 

Very Nice bike man! :eyebrows:

 

You've done good my friend. :thumb:

 

:thumb: Very, very nice! :thumb:

I reckon if you got a Termigoni end can it would look sweet on that.

Cheers

looks sweet, but why are you advertising for a cigarette company?

 

Good question (it's not the first time I have been asked) considering that I am a non-smoker!! I wanted to do an authentic MotoGP bike. Given that my bike was already yellow and I wanted to keep the color, the Camel Honda bike was the only one that was going to work. I did like the Corona bike, but that's a Suzuki...and my bike is only part-Suzuki!

I would have used the Camel 'non-smoking/generic' decals like the 'Team' style, but I couldn't find those.

Besides, let people smoke themselves to death! LOL In Australia, Camel is not a popular brand anyways. I guess my bike is no different to a Rothmans Honda or a Lucky Strike bike though.

 

Really nice bike. You have done well.

 

Sweet looke ride Mate, definitly a unique Bike!

 

By the way, thanks for all the compliments everyone!

 

that blade is really awesome. How much fabrication is involved in putting that gixxer tail on the 900rr?

 

Very tastefully done, kudos Sime.........:clap:

 

Looks awesome man! what about some 954rr decals switched around on there?

 

Dang!!!! Looks very nice.

 

Wish my '95 looked that good:thumb: How does the handling/steering feel in corners?

I haven't had a chance to set it up properly with the SSA on there, but the bike feels rock solid, yet quick on the steering. Others have criticised the SSA for making the bike feel 'slow' and lethargic to steer. Maybe it's my 954 forks....but my bike exhibits none of those traits, even with the steering dampner on there. It's extremely responsive and hasn't shaken the head on me once.

Oh yeah, how do the F4i gauges work? How did you hook the wiring up? Does the temp gauge work also?

Re the F4i gauges, PM me your email and I'll send you the wiring diagram. You do need to have a custom calibrated SpeedoHealer (SH) (about 410% correction, but the factory gives you +1000% play in 1% increment adjustments). The reason you need this is because the 95-97 900RR speed sender puts out only 25% of the pulses required by the 98-99 900RR and F4i speedos. The custom SH's cost about $100 USD shipped, but you must order them from a guy named 'Norbert' at the SH factory in Hungary (they speak great English there however!).

Also, I heard that the temp gauge can read funny, but to correct it, all you need to do is fit an F4i temp sender and it bolts right in. I am not bothering to do this until I fit my gauges and see what's up.

I haven't fitted mine yet, but from what I've been told, they are a simple fit.

Cheers.

Super nice!! Only thing I would change is the turn signals.

Yup, that's already on the cards. In fact, I have some Oxford slim signals in a box on it's way to me from America as we speak (left on Nov. 4th). I left those turn signals on there so I could get the bike inspected and registered.
