SR4t "project" - updated 4/2/11

Working on the lists guys.

1/4lb in the axle is awesome!

Anyone know if the axle is the same as the 999's?  Found a  supplier that has a few in stock.


I was planning on breaking the kits up, or do you want the whole shebang?

Something like:

Front forks/pinch bolts/fenders/controls

Engine case

Rear

Etc?

Right now I'm working with a machinist to create some Ti bolts for the rearsets......those ones are heavy steel things

The 996 type and the 999 type axles are different. I have to use the 996 type 25mm, I'm not sure if they changed the 07+ S4R's to the 999 type axel.

Here is what Moto has listed:

Also, get one that has the hard surface coating.


Right now on Ti bolts I could use: radial brake bolts, fender, pinch, triple, CC rearsets, and controls

I would be open to a shebang if the price is right.

And an exhaust I've been working on.  Soon as the shock gets back and I can raise the rear up to the correct height, I'll finish the hanger for it

Wow

WANT

[Bill in OKC]

Those cans are.. hmmm what's the word?  VERY  NICE!!!!!!!!

[He Man]

i love that 2 in 1 header!

[TAftonomos]

Some have asked for details:

Forged march wheels (aluminum), powdercoated gloss black.
Ti rotor bolts
Floating rotor buttons
"special" axle (not Ti, it's lighter than Ti by about 15%)
1098 monoblocks
1098 forks, anodized black w/penske internals
Ti caliper bolts
Ti pinch bolts
RCS master cylinders

Exhaust is a front arrow section (for the price, it's unbeatable).  Cans are made by....me

Once it's back together I'll ride it a bit more (summer).  Come cool-time I'm going to proceed with hacking the subframe off and building the aluminum one.  I've already done one on a scrap frame, and have the fittings made up.  Reason I'm going to wait is the bike will get painted/frame powdercoated at that time....and I know how long those things can take.  If I do that now, I'll likely miss out on the season all together....and go crazy.

HID setup is done as well.....I need to take some pics and post up on that.  Lens heat formed perfectly in the oven.  Only thing I need to do is paint the inside of the bucket silver (projector is small/silver....hopefully silver interior on the bucket will make it blend in).  So it's a stock housing with a bi-xenon projector in it.  Sharp cutoff line, minimal glare (if any), and somewhat cheap ($250?).

Oh yeah....I need a headlight U bracket.  I did 4-5 of those for people, and never got any cores back......and I sent mine out as well thinking I'd get a core......lol 

Still need to find someone to "fix" my rearsets (ducati ano' faded), finish some small carbon bits (rad protector, heel guards), get my rotor back from lightening and assemble the rear end (all Ti back there too lol).

I've built a little anodizer for Ti.  Once I can figure out what color (and after the frame mod), I'll anodize all of the bolts a contrasting color.  Pretty sure I've got most of the Ti fasteners (minus some engine bolts) that I can get at this point.

And that list of mine is done...... I almost cried when I saw what I'd spent on bolts   

At least after the coming winter it ought to finally be "done".  I used to be able to do a project like this in 2-3 months TOPs, but with grad school, a 1 year old, and a "fairly" stressful job, I don't always feel like working on it.

I would allow that exhaust to sleep next to me in my bed Probably smells nice too. (hands over the blanket, of course)

$250 for a bolt on/in projector, not bad Sorry if you already answered, but is it a plug and play thing? No soldering, no external ballast, already mounted in a bucket with lens?

[TAftonomos]

"sort of".  There isn't any real fabrication to get it to work, but you will need to do some wiring.  I'm sticking the ballast in the tail next to the rectifier.  The rest of the stuff I'm hiding in my battery box.  I've got a speedcell battery in there that takes up about 1/4 of what the OEM battery does.

Exhaust looks outstanding  now hurry up with the hanger so I can get them on my bike. Excellent  work Theo

[TAftonomos]

It's on the top of the list for the weekend

Glad you like how it turned out.... it wasn't "easy"

[MAXdB]

i can already tell this will be a future BOM

[lagerman72]

Really like the bike!  I'm going to have to start some searches on lowering the gauges and the headlight, as that look is truly outstanding.

[TAftonomos]

New pics from yesterday.  Nearly there, just need to work a bit more.  I finished the fuel line fitting mod (Omega quick disconnects) as routing the lines over to the left side to hide them left them precariously close to popping off...right on the rear exhaust header. 

Finish the left side headlight bracket, get the new master link and correct sized sprocket, and do SOMETHING with those ugly plastic reservoirs...
