HondaKillenDSM's Build!

[HondaKillenDSM]

Ok so the frame is basically done! But forgot to take a picture and I'n playing video games. So I don't feel like running down to the garage.

What the header looked like

What it looks like now

gonna run dual straight pipes...

Update
~Frame is 95% complete
~Rear brake is done
~Most of wiring has been run

I used the rear braking system off of a 2000 CBR600F4
Today I will be sand blasting and painting the frame!

Trimmed the arm

Everything fits perfect

NIce progress! Wish i had a sandblaster available!!!!

 

[HondaKillenDSM]

Picked it up for like $50 new at Tractor supply a few years back. Just need some sand

FYI, might want to re-think your rear brake slightly. I adapted a Warrior brake and extended lever simular to yours. Problem is that the MC pivot needs to be closer to pedal pivot as I have lost mechanical advantage (increased effort). YAMAHA BANSHEE REAR BRAKE PEDAL 2002 | eBay This is Banshee pedal but you'll see what I'm talking about.

I have actually had the swing arm and everything all together and it stops it really nice. Only thing is there is not much travel

 

[HondaKillenDSM]

Well most of the paint is off. I was basically using the sand blaster for the small cracks and corners that I couldn't get into with my da. Now I just have to finish sanding some areas and can begin painting. My cousin wants to use a color that's not usually seen. So I think I'm gonna spray it a darkish metallic purple with flake.

Here's a close up

Have you actually tried that pedal yet?

If that's a single piston caliper, that long a pedal extension is going to make it a VERY hard push and the pedal is only going to move like 1/4" from no brakes to full brakes. Could be really interesting....

Edit: Larry's Shee beat me to the punch last night, a few posts up. Good eye man!

Why are you stealing my frame color idea? haha

i was wondering that too, i made a pedal extension once half that length and its like either on or off!

otherwise things are looking real good!, fast progress

 

[HondaKillenDSM]

I have had it setup all the way out on the extension like that and yes there was minimal travel, like my other bike. I decided to move it closer though to see what it felt like. I now have almost 3/4 of pedal travel.

Looks good^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I used the entire brake assembly, pedal, rotor, caliper, off a 600rr on the Blasty.
Works fantastic.

@ Paulie B.. I have everything but the one piece that holds one side of the pads up.. Trying to find it has been a nightmare

I had the benefit of owning the whole bike haha. This is the piece I believe your looking for.
I had to cut and grind alot off to make it look nice cause it's a big piece.

 

[HondaKillenDSM]

well I have most of the bike lol just piece are in my garage, my shed, my other shed, under the deck... basically everywhere

Def got parts of bikes everywhere. It's a sign of a true tinker'er
I bought mine in 07' and it's an 03'.
I bought it off a guy I went to high school with who got it used to 'learn' how to wheelie and do tricks on.
It had been down many times and the plastic/motor covers were useless.
I only payed $300 for the whole thing.
If you come across some other odd part you need gimmie a shout.

 

[HondaKillenDSM]

Thanks but i think I got everything.. unless you have an ignition cylinder and key lol or the rear brake fluid resi

 

[HondaKillenDSM]

So I started painting but the color changed... Also not sure If I'm going to lay a base coat or just spray on this color.. NO PICS OF PAINT YET

Here is a pic of the wiring i have to do... anything colored will be removed....
