wow... how much compliments, thanks to all!!!!!!! :oops:
I will update whit a new photo, I've make today, and it's the actual state of the "work in progress"...

Now i've to resolve some electrical problems... it's very difficult for me, i'm not expert in electrical, and another difficult was that the wiring harness is'nt original... or better, the wiring is original, but have the 20% of the wires than the original... I hav'nt the stator, and the bike hav'nt some of the original switch, like the side stand, clutch and neutral switch...
the problem is that I hav'nt fire on my sparks, but whit a modified wiring harness it's difficult each for a Honda mechanic found the right way...

wonder if the spark problem is because stand and neutral switch need bridging out? :think:

All the switch would be to ground for consent ingnition, and I have all to ground, but i can't look the fire on the sparks...

Four months?
Didn't your family notice you were missing?

Glad you got it sorted, though.
Well done :thumbup:

My electrical problems continue to exist... I've connected the GPT D3 instrument (km/h, rpm, temp, gear, ecc...) and all go right... but when i connect the power wires (red/black 12v) of the quickshifter, the ICM could'nt work and return the problem: I can't have fire at my sparks.
If I disconnect... nothing change!!! The problem continue...
I think that the quickshifter control unit have some problems, and when i connect it fired my ICM... so I'm waiting the delivered of my 3° ICM at my home...

But I've make others work for my bike in this time... whit my friends of the italian VTR community, whe make the velocity stacks (similar to the Moriwaki... very similar... :wink: )

And I have started to work on the swingarm. I have cut a part of the CBR900RR swingarm for reinforce the original swingam. In this photo is'nt finish (it's only cut whit a saw...), but now I've finish to cut better and have only to welding the part...

Image

And I've buy each a mudguard for the CBR900, and want to fit when I finish the swingarm mod's... I think it's cool!!

I think it's going to look the dogs danglies (That's a good thing) :wink:
Those velocity stacks look a work of art. Those pipes will work fine, I had an offer from a tuning expert to put a pair of Venom race pipes on my Sp and they were off a gsx600. It's all about the air flow :thumbup:

Thanks for those pics - I have a 'Blade swingarm coming for mine - to do exactly the same mods - and had exactly the same thoughts about the hugger too....

Hi Cliveyandrews! I think it's a good mod, and it's easy to do... you have only to cut the part and weld on the original swingarm... it fit very good, have the same measure...

Oh, in your signity i've look a ZX-7R... I have the same bike!!! It's great... it's my first bike and I love it...
This is a pic of mine...

And this is the other bike in my garage... a very funny YZ-250F, for the off-road... it's the best training! If you go for 30 minutes in a off-road track, you can go for many hours on track whit a road bike, whitout be tired!
