CBR Cleanup.

[JakeyR]

Basically my bike was shagged, needed plugs, tyres, pads, n it looked generally shit. so ive repainted it the same colours but properly, polished the rims,painted the forks and footrest hangers and generally tidied it up. still needs a few bits doin but ah well.



heres what it looked like:

Looks much better mate. Any more pics of the front? Really liking the headlight, how is riding at night with it?

[JakeyR]

Cheers mate, the headlights okay at night, its just 2 halogen bulbs though, bright enough but the lights concentrated to one spot, it doesnt really like up the whole road, just a part of it.

Ill have a mooch for some decent pics of it from the front.

[Misc]

Nice one. Also with these streetfighter type headlights, can the bulbs be replaced for stronger ones? Do you have a link for the light, please.

[JakeyR]

Pic of the front for ya.

[Misc]

Awesome, really does suit it well. What other plans you got for it?

[JakeyR]

Cheers man, looks wise I'm just gonna leave it as is once I've bolted all the panels on properly, get a mudguard for it 'cos it looks ghey without one, then once its back on the road i'll sort a cage out so i can drop it without being scared of damage.

I'm not too sure about the headlight bulbs weather you can get brighter ones or not, probably can seen as though they're designed for kitchens. I got it from M&P

They come with a plastic lense over the bulbs but i took mine off and painted it black so i can have it on in daytime and it'll look like i have no lights.

Nope one of the front calipers is still off because ive stripped them, just need to put them back on and bleed um up.

[nick606]

its alright jake doesn't use the front wheel on his bikes so its useless anyway

[JakeyR]

oops.

[binge]

Real cool looking bike. I'm re-framing my pit bike next week. And using the old frame to build a proper fiddy stunter out of. Gotta get a 12 bar fitted. But directly from the frame this time, rather than the subframe. The last one snapped the rear subframe off.

Jake, Are you not going to run a rear hand brake or 12 bar?

is the front tyre mounted the wrong way round ? The tread just looks odd.

Tyres fine mate i thought that, binge i put a 12 bar on it now, but its crap where ive mounted it, itll be too weak.

I robbed it off a piece of shite Jellymould that i bought, robbed a load of parts off it, and sold it for 3 times what i bought it for the next day.

Chillpill, i painted the forks and footrest hangers with bog stock gloss paint, it turned out pretty well.

couple of pics of the jellymould
