Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
Hi joel
First of all, congratulations for the great work you made. About you using the fishing line, could you tell me how do you attach them in place? Could you show me a zoom pic of that part of work? Congratulation for the good work once again. Miguel Portugal |

Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
Hi guys. Back from London (without a single kit in my backpack...terrible)
Many, many thanks for your comments, you are very kind! Miguel: I just drill a hole in the part where the line are to be fitted (after removing the standard fitting of coarse.) I usually drill a .5 mm hole and to fit the .6 mm lines i cut them a bit in the end. On the front brake lines of this build I've added a piece of hexagonal plastic rod that I drilled a hole through and slided on to the line. I'll try to enlarge the area from one of the origninal photos. Dave: I just took some hex rod, drilled a hole in it and cut it on one end so that I got it flat through the whole diameter. Then I just glued them in place. /Joel

To todays progress. This kit is closing in on being finished. But I try to keep the slow pace and not rush it. Here's a picture of the caliper, brake line fitting for you Miguel. Not too good quality but I think you can spot it although it needs some touching up. One thing I think lacks on most street racer kits are the tank pads used to prevent the rider from scratching the tank. I made one out of CF decal. First i made a mask and draw a pattern on free hand. The pattern was cut using X-acto and scissors And finally applied to the tank. I think I'm done with the seat/tank cowlings and attached them to the naked bike. Due to the mufflers the rear end frame is quite wide and it took some work getting the cowl to fit. What's not visible in these pics are the scratch built rear light that I fit underneith the cowl. Doesn't look to good anyway... Here's a better pic showing the seat cowl air intakes with the Studio 27 mesh installed. I took a closer image of the right side to show the work on the foot peg and brake canister. You can also see the clutch that has been extended with a piece of solder and hex rod. Solder will be painted black. /Joel

Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
Joel, The tank pad is a great touch!
The only part of the bike I'm not sure about is the red chain guard? I'll probably change my mind once it's finished though? You really motivate me to get building again with these updates! Thanks

Actually, I think you are right about the chainguard... I've given it a lot of thoughts and I think it should have gone CF... a bit late now unfortunately. Quote:

Re: WIP: Yamaha R1 Tuner
Heads up for you planning your own R1 builds.
The fit between the top and lower cowls are very snug and I've fought for two days getting them in place using too much glue ending up destroying parts of the cowl coat. I think I remember having the same problem during my R1 Taira build but this is worse, probably because I've put some mesh inside the lower cowl... What I've done now is to glue the two cowl parts together and then remove the front wheel to get them mounted. I'll see how this turns out. /Joel
