Yoshimura GSX1135R (EFE) Project

[FreshStart]

Mindless, is there anything that you have left out that could possibly make that scooter any more FANTASTIC?

Daniel

Machine guns and rocket boosters.

Mindless,

I'm thinking this may be the GS of the year winner!

 

[Mindless]

Luv the "34" great work the header on that thing is amazing, you have inspired me to get moving on mine....:clap:

...and your bikes are an inspiration to me. You really make an effort to make them to look their best. :clap:

I've got it! You have an IHC turbo-charger hidden under the seat!

Daniel

Machine guns and rocket boosters.

Hahaha.

The only thing I have my eyes on right now is probably cooler brakes and a cooler set of wheels. ISR, Brembo, AP Racing... there's so much cool stuff out there, but spending $2-3000 on that? I dunno...

Wheels on the other hand... wouldn't mind having these for those days at the track...

Gonna keep a look out this summer for some forged magnesium wheels from an Aprilia RSV Mille R (mine are from the Tuono, non-forged alloy). They bolt right in and weigh 40% less.

Mindless,

I'm thinking this may be the GS of the year winner!

If I ever manage to get some paint on it maybe someone will vote for it. Doubt a bike in primer with sharpie painted decals will win anything.

 

[Mindless]

Cooler and oil lines all sorted out.

Very pleased.

Will fit 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 Honda CBR 600rr

These rims were originally for a 99 Hayabusa, but were re-fitted for a 2003 Honda CBR 600rr. It is therefore a 6" wide rear wheel.

Rims weigh only 2.2kg - DRASTICALLY LOWERING THE WEIGHT OF YOUR MOTORYCLE!

Rims were $7000 new.

Rims are currently fitted with Braking USA Full Floating Wave Rotors, worth over $700 new. Rear Rim comes mounted with cush drive and with a custom sprocket, as well as a Titanium Sprocket (never need to be changed - paid $300 for custom sprocket from Sunstar).

Asking $1500 for complete set-up. This includes new wheel bearings, rotors, sprocket - just add tires and you're ready to go! 613-315-2535

Would I like them?

 

[posplayr]

with wheels and rotors $1500 would be a steal

 

[jwhelan65]

Will those fit my 1100?

Making some spacers should be easy enough and different bearings can usually be sorted out too.

If I had the cash, I'd snag them without a second though even if I wouldn't use them on my bike (wrong look for me). Bargains like these are rare. I mean, you save $5500 compared to buying them new.

Dang I am tempted..

 

[FreshStart]

Dont paint the bike. I like its Mad Max style look. All it needs is a cargo net around the tank

Gonna give you another reason to buy them: These wheels only weight around 4 pounds each. That's a massive reduction in unsprung weight - the greatest performance improvement you can get on a bike. It accelerates faster, it stops faster, it turns faster, it turns easier, it turns smoother.

There's no real downsides.

Some argue that carbon fiber wheels are weak and brittle. Well...

That's a set of BST wheels but those Dymags should be able to withstand the same treatment.

Blasphemy! If I wanted a ratbike, I'd just have rattlecanned it black when I bought it.

Damn!
I love the bike, and would KILL for your workshop and skills!

Fy faen, kompis, for en j?vlig bra sykkel!!!!

Hahaha, tack.

Ut i garaget och jobba nu!

Today I finished up the exhaust. All I need now is to pack the muffler with some fiberglass braid and rivet it together. The rivets I had were too long (18mm) so tomorrow I'll go out hunting for some 10x4.8mm gas-tight aluminium rivets.

Anyway, here are the pictures.

Very pleased with it. The springs just make it look right somehow.

 

[FreshStart]

You need to be selling this exhaust!!!

 

[Tim Tom]

You need to be selling this exhaust!!!

NOOO WAY! That exhaust is totally unique in this world and only belongs on this bike. It is way too cool for anyone else to own.

 

[Flaming Chainsaws]

I have never posted anything but I have been following this since the beginning... OK. Not the beginning but almost. This here is everything that I ever wanted to do with my bike. Coolest project ever.

Hahaha.

All in all, I'm sure it's 15-20 hours of work. Add to that the cost of materials and all that... well, needless to say, you wouldn't be making a good deal.

Yep, it belongs on my bike. With the work I (well, me and my father) have put into it there's no way I'm letting it go.

Thanks!

When it comes down to it, I think it's better to spend the extra time or money on getting what you really want instead of having to look at your bike and say "Man, I wish I did this or got that...". It has cost me a small fortune in both hours and money but I couldn't be happier with the way it looks.

Got the shorter rivets this morning so I gave the muffler parts a rub with a well-used Scotch-Brite pad so it got a nice brushed finish. Ten I wrapped the inner tube with the fiberglass braid and put it all together. It seems to dampen more sound than I first had thought too.

Spring has come in full force now so the sun takes out some of the details. Oh well, here's the finished item.

That's another chapter finished. Next up is sorting out the final pieces of the front end.

just when i though that exhaust could not be any sexier... there came the rivets... it's a masterpiece!
