[M.Boy]

Hello,
this is my new model which I begin to build Yamha YZF-R1 Taira Racing – Tamiya 1:12




Yamha R1 is quite popular bike so I try to build something different




bike used for such a fun





Stunt Bike







[photos taken from the portal ścigacz.pl and motogen.pl]

I have some own photos taken at one of the stunt events.
This is bike



what I have to change:
- bigger sprocket





- double rear brake caliper




- rebuild rear fairing





- kinked fuel tank







- cut side fairings














- change the location of the front fairing with lights

Standard R1


And this stunt bike







- new handlebar


and also some minor things and traces of intensive use

Wish me luck.

Start work soon.

Nothing interesting at the beginning, some standard work with engine elements















I remove from engine all plastic nut and screw



then some custom work with the engine

[denman2]

Some idea on the fueltank, do it the same way as they do it in real.

Heat it a little bit and dent is ( in real they just dent it by hitting it).
I love the project and i'm curious how it wil work out.

I don't know if I can do it in that way.
I have another idea

Thanks Alex!

This is swingarm by Tamiya







swingarm must be submitted complete with damper









I did not like it, so





and swingarm is like orginal

















I also did a few welds

[miguel s]

this welds are made with epoxy putty?
thanks again for this nice pictures.

[M.Boy]

Something like that.

Further action with the engine
oil pan



I removed the plastic screws and added the oil level switch





I changed the connection of clutch cable.
Tamiya’s standard



poorly
there is clutch cable holder



lever with spring







I tried to do something similar





Temporary fitting so it does not look good. Finally it will be better.
I have to reduce the two elements because they are too big.

Thats awesome!!!

[M.Boy]

Thanks!

Swingarm has some scratches and paint chip so I decided to also do some similar damage

[M.Boy]

I prepared stand







new





and used

[M.Boy]

After swingarm I started doing rear fender





some fillers and primer





white primer and basic colour Gaia fluorescent yellow



I also did some damage





as in the bike on which I was inspired



then I put two layers of clear coat Zero 2k, some polished and I started to learn to do such a thing





after this


[photos from the portal ścigacz.pl]

this is my first time doing something like that







and swingarm





I also added a little dry black pastels





swingarm with fender







how you like it?
