My CBR1000A/F ...Again

[oz]

Got things moving again and managed to do some bits at work in erm overtime!!

Dummy tank started by  rolling a bit of 3mm ali erm scrap and bending a flange on one end.



and trimmed to suit the profile of new airbox with the plasma and tidied up with the grinder





I made a bracket for the front to come of the exsisting brackets and secured front of cover



or Jamie did sure he should be working on production!!!



Made side pieces and welded in





Sanded and  DAed them





And fitted switches





I dont really like the look of it I reckon its fugly but function before form on this occasion and still allows you to get
right in tight against it with no elbows or anything poking out.

Cheers Oz

Great work as always Oz, is the eye staying?

Blew the froth of a few last night with best buddy Lee as you would say and he has come up with some blinding designs for paintwork.
It appears the Eye is staying.

[oz]

Not happy with tail piece modify it 2moro but basis is there all 10 component parts awkward shape to get right.







I thought I might drop the sides down a bit and bring out slightly, any ideas appreciated as I reckon its dog ugly,aero ok across top I reckon sides?

Oz, you may or may not be happy with what you've wrought but believe me you're dazzling the onlookers.

I like it ... Joe

[55chevr]

Would look better if it was painted red though ...

[Buzz Lightbeer]

Nice Oz, you clever old tin basher, got any anvils spare

Bring the sides down to the legal limit, it will help. Running naked you need all the help you can get.

[Jon]

Your younger than I pictured Oz

Had you thought of continuing the curved line of your back down and closing in down to the rim line.
I know you like to ride naked but the rules give you some liberties in the tail area that might help get those extra couple mph that we're all looking for.
I can't remember if you have electrickery happening in there?

That a CBR front guard?, the original 1000f guard looks reasonably aero.

It's going to look awesome in colour.

Fredvance beat me too it, what he said.

[oz]

LOL thats my Son he is 24 the guard and forks are of a later model F shame coz earlier ones had better aero.
Had another go today and extended a bit! Its starting to get heavy which aint a problem but I could triangulate and make in one.



I still think it looks like it could come down further for regs, but angles and chain run anderson plug fuses etc are problomatic to say the least




I still aint settled with it the rear is shabby too



Thanks Fred dont I know it!!

When we gona see the new project Joe?

Cheers fellas Oz

[55chevr]

[oz]

Dyno next saturday and voila!!

[55chevr]

Looks good. Now you have to polish it.


Joe

[Jon]

Looks the goods Oz, the eye theme continuing onto the tail? What was the speedparts sticker with the woodpecker smoking a cigar?

Dyno next Saturday is getting to the business end of it, good luck with it.

Cheers
