Project CBR400RR

[Reevo8]

Right, today I decided to get off of my arse and begin the work. I stripped all the fairings a while ago, and left them in the garage. So it is bare at the moment.

I began the afternoon by fitting the new end can and my mini number plate and indicators. The exhaust seemed quite loud, I revved it up to 6k rpm, and woke my sister up and also my mother who are at the other side of the house!

I also went to take the carbs apart only to realise that my screwdriver wasnt quite long enough to remove them from the bike. I was in the desperate search for restrictors!

Anyways, here are piccies. It needs: Front tyre, brake pads, bottom fairings, and left mid fairing. New petrol tank then Tax and MOT. Will also do an oil/coolant change.

Following that it will have some tarty bits, and some useful bits too!

Will be downgeared a little. to a 28~14 I think, with a 520 chain. Will have a mph/kph converter. HEL braided hoses. rear seat cowl and a respray.

i know how you feel

mine looks like that and worse, more often than it looks like a normal bike

currently got full exhaust off, carbs off, bodywork off, radiator off, all fluids drained

just an engine a frame and some wheels basically

if you need any spares give me a shout as chances are i may have what you need

and if you are being tarty i can supply some metal heel plates to rid you of those plastic items

When I get me some money I will talk to you about these heelplates. Also realised that I need one of them stupid top yoke bungs! Oh, and the exhaust header bolts and gaskets, because I managed to snap the current bolts!

The heelplates really should be the first thing you replace.

The plastic ones are so huge, and ugly.



Have lots of fun with the bike bits

2 things:

Early Fireblade heelplates fit on (with a few washers). These look great IMO: they aren't tarty and look good. Check out pic/link in my profile. I'll give you the place I got mine from when I fix my computer.

Can't remember exactly, but I got mine from a UK place/website called "The Fireblade shop", 2nd hand a tenner. Place specialises in Fireblade part, funnily enough

Sammyboy, can you so me a favour and take another pic, side on, so I can get a feel for the size of the can, sort of in relation to the rest of the bike. I need a new can.

[Reevo8]

Will do when I can be asked turning the bike around!
