Xtremelow's War Horse Build Start to End

[xtremelow]

Well as promised I started tonight and about an hour in I hit my first snag. Damn shock.

Started with this

An hour later I called it a night

Have to swap springs due to the outlet for the reservoir hitting the frame.

edit: to bump to page 11

Cant buy just the lens so I am sticking with my setup.

SRWmoto has the Ecliptech tinted lens.

Yayee! Love the Mean Green Machine! I am jealous. I wish I got around to painting my frame or polishing it this year. Alway's next winter tho.

 

[kyle_dewald]

I'm curious, are you going to put frame pucks on or not. I mean, if you had then your frame would have been just fine.

 

[Jobe Zeebuh]

^^^pretty sure he is. I saw him post about them in a thread that was offering pucs for $30.00 recently.

Nice set of shocks there mister were you using a different setup to lower your bike?

 

[xtremelow]

I will be putting pucks on for sure. I have a set just haven't put them on the bike yet.

For the susp. I am running a Ss spring. I was going to run the whole setup but it won't fit due to what is shown above. The spring is a stiffer spring which will allow for me to maintain the height I want without any worry about bottoming out. I thought it would lower the bike but it was just that the Ss shock is shorter and when mounted to the R shock it expanded to the same length just wrapped a little tighter

Well got a little more work done this morning [cool], got the rear spring all situated just used a ratchet strap instead of driving to a parts store to borrow a coil spring compressor.

 

[xtremelow]

for those wondering about the EBR Rear Rotor here it is, also we can add the 2010 Ducati Streetfight caliper to the list for the hidden setup.

**** I better get out of bed your catching me.
Looking good man

 

[xtremelow]

I am doing all the assembly then taking the back wheel off to run the brake line. The last thing to get done will be paint. I don't want fresh paint sitting around during the build and it will give me the entire garage to do what little i need to paint once i can move the bike around freely. Plus it will allow me time
To set pieces on the bike to tape off areas to make sure I like the flow, to prevent the need to repaint pieces.

[xtremelow]

   Keppi has competition 

I don't think I would come even close to having that be the truth but much thanks on the props.

[xtremelow]

[Jobe Zeebuh]

I also order some pro-biotics to help with the good bacteria growth in my stomach.

[upthemaiden]

What's that blue tube ziptied to your front stand?

 

[xtremelow]

He has Crohn's Disease and it has something to do with that.

 

[Jobe Zeebuh]

My sympathies go out to him.
