The Black Sheep build

[sharq]

Hi all.

600RR owner in Iceland. Doing a build this winter on my 07.
My first bike, acquired a beaten up quarter mile (stock bike 600 female) record holder for cheap.

It has a Power-commander V + Autotune

Was going to make a streetfighter / Café Racer a la Hooligan but decided that I wanted to own a pretty regular custom instead :)

Plans:

• REPAIRS both engine covers are beaten up
• Paint (fairings+subframe+bits that need cleaning)
• IT+Tail cleanup
• Yoshi carbon (in the mail)
• 2wheels levers
• Grips+barends
• Reflective Rim Tape
• Rearsets Vortex or might go cheap ebay
• HRC Reservoir Delete
• Black Windscreen
• MORE...

GOAL


WHEN I BOUGHT IT
It had been crashed badly, non crooked, farings ALL messed up some helt together only with gaffer tape! , no barends, both engine covers fixed with welding, it was a mess... I plan to fix all that and more


It's currently naked without a tail in my garage, some plastic welding and paint is next!

Let's see how this goes...

You all have now been introduced to the famous Jim Diesel...

To sum his personality up in 3 words....he's a tool.

[sharq]

YES! I'm from Iceland...
But do you guys got any comments on the build or the plans? I'd love to hear some feedback :)

UPDATES

SUBFRAME NOW BLACK!!!

Done with heat resistant paint.

ALL NAKED

[highonlakai]

I'd personally get some aftermarket fairings (or buy parts on here), new air filter, new chain (etc) and everything else you listed above.

Looks like fun, keep us posted sharq

[sharq]

I'm all set for the fairings really, just a couple i've gotta fix, got all materals... it's not gonna be a prob ;) ... new air filter! gonna get! anything else you guys remember that are regular maintenance parts that need a change, did my brakes this summer though.

[SilentSun]

haha, I could fire off around 4k worth of mods you could do to that thing if you really want...

How much you willing to spend mate?

You're off to a good start though, are you thinking about installing a HID kit or maybe some new break lines?

[DoOb's]

What paint are you using on the tail sub frame ....did you use can paint or proper gun and compressor paint. Becoz it will scratch off easy with can paint. Did put an undercoat/primer

Took my first babysteps as a plastic welder... It's a piece of pie! fixed a cracked boomerang and welded a hoop tab on it :)

[sharq]

Plastic welding and filling :)

PRETTY MESSED UP


SOME PLASTIC MELTING


FILLED AND SANDED READY FOR PRIMER


Just 2 more pieces to fix before paint :)

[sharq]

Stuffs just came in the mail
Gonna be some time until i re-paint the clip-ons and fix the controls part of the bike... but here is something for when that happens

[SHAdoh]

Nice body-filling work! Looking forward to the paint!

[sharq]

Thanks! This is the first time i do body filling or anything to my bike for that matter... it's an exciting journey... 600rr.net and youtube help alot with all sorts of info

[SilentSun]

Damn dude, you do nice work!

Keep it up, this bike is going to look sweet as.

[sharq]

Xmas came early





Now i just have to paint the swingarm and start puzzling the tail together again :)

[sharq]

Stuff Done
Slowly but surely the bike is comming together...

Painted the scratched rear wheel and swingarm. Stuck some reflective rimtape on


Wrapped the Yoshi


Mounted the Yoshi on


Just bought:

• TST Smoked industries Taillight
• Ebay smoked DB windscreen
• HRC rear reservoir delete
• Friend is building me a FE that mounts on Yoshi strap.
• Ordered LED bolts for FE

[Raj24v]

Looks good so far mate. Will be interested to see just how this turns out considering the state you purchased it in.

[sharq]

Little update

• Painted Clipons and accessories
• Attached clutch lever (2 wheels)
• In process - filling in broken front reservoir mount on front MC
• Received - Black Ebay double bubble
• Received - Carbon fiber wrap, going to be used for: Belly, front/rear fender, chain cover, small in-between plastics in side fairings and side plastics for upper cowl.

A rather pathetic update, but an update none the less - now things will start happening rather fast!

[HighzerOfLife]

Hadn't seen this yet... Looks like some good progress. Keep it coming.

[HighzerOfLife]

Just as a thought depending on how the buiild goes. Instead of getting aftermarket rearsets you could always get your stocks powdercoated and save some money.

Where do you create your own designs on a CBR model?

[jorge5]

[pancakes562]

very nice! can't wait to see more!

I use Photoshop to do these rough mockups... I don't know of an app that does that.

There is a thread dedicated to CBR Photoshop
