It came from a house clearance, half of the parts were missing, the Frame had been butchered and there was no V5. The idea was to build it for no money but a frame came up for £60 so that blew the budget. _________________ Diamond Mob - Land Speed Racing https://www.facebook.com/groups/917210268336697/ Back to top Trikeopath Brolly Dolly Joined: 11 Feb 2018 Posts: 15 Location: Merseyside, UK Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2018 5:24 pm    Post subject: The rest of the parts came off a dead Fazer that I had in storage, or from raiding forgotten boxes of VTR parts in the loft. _________________ Diamond Mob - Land Speed Racing https://www.facebook.com/groups/917210268336697/ Back to top two-stroke-brit Scooter Boy Joined: 25 Jan 2018 Posts: 73 Location: TEXAS USA Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2018 5:32 pm    Post subject: necessity mother invention and all that. _________________ IT MAY BE ROUGH LOOKING BUT ITS A FUN RIDE Back to top Trikeopath Brolly Dolly Joined: 11 Feb 2018 Posts: 15 Location: Merseyside, UK Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2018 3:33 pm    Post subject: The VTR Tank is notoriously small so I added a belly like the Exup. _________________ Diamond Mob - Land Speed Racing https://www.facebook.com/groups/917210268336697/ Back to top nuggitt Moderator Joined: 22 May 2009 Posts: 5081 Location: North Yorkshire Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2018 4:05 pm    Post subject: Nice bit of welding there lad. _________________ Bit of advice.

Would that have actually fit on a VTR? It came off a VTR1000 but there is no way it would fit back on one now unless you removed the rear Cylinder. By the time I'm finished making a new airbox, it'll hold more fuel then the original Exup Tank. _________________ Diamond Mob - Land Speed Racing https://www.facebook.com/groups/917210268336697/ Back to top oldskoolexup Motormouth Joined: 19 Jul 2009 Posts: 1200 Location: THE place...some are born here, some drawn here...Manchester Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2018 4:46 pm    Post subject: Really impressed with your work! How much fuel do you think it will hold when finished? _________________ Life begins at the end of your comfort zone & Learn from the mistakes of others.............................

I guess they'd have done it if it was possible. Still, fine work, indeed.

Fitted a set of USD's with new Bearings and a set of Headers that do away with the EXUP, also spent a good few hours wiring it up. I used mostly VTR components again because I've got tonnes of that stuff which made it was easy to fit in the undertray and the butchered sub frame. Most of the loom was hacked out a a VTR harness, so the colours will confuse the hell out of anyone that has to work on it in the future. It will probably be temporary anyway as I'd like a programmable ignition box. I thought I was nearly ready to pack away at 2 am but the Speedo had me up till gone 4am. Its a chinese effort and the instructions weren't even half right, so had to sit there with a meter and a chocolate block working it out for my self. Only got the Rev counter and Fuel guage to figure out now. Think I'll be able the get the Tacho working off the Coil or Pick up, but i suspect I'll need to make my own fuel sender unless I can find one off another car or bike that had a gauge, not sensor... I'll figure that out next week. _________________ Diamond Mob - Land Speed Racing https://www.facebook.com/groups/917210268336697/ Back to top Trikeopath Brolly Dolly Joined: 11 Feb 2018 Posts: 15 Location: Merseyside, UK Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2018 12:45 pm    Post subject: Made a start on the Airbox last night. I thought I'd have it done in a night, but that might have been a bit enthusiastic. Made loads silly mistakes trying to work with what leftovers from the Turbo bike were lying around. Should have just bought the right stuff. _________________ Diamond Mob - Land Speed Racing https://www.facebook.com/groups/917210268336697/ Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Exup1000.co.uk Forum Index -> Workshop All times are GMT Goto page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Site News----------------Announcements Exup1000----------------Lounge BarRogues GalleryWorkshopMeets & RideoutsReviewed & RecommendedClassifieds  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum www.exup1000.co.uk is owned and run by EXUP enthusiasts, for EXUP enthusiasts Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group
