Build thread 2013 RSV4

[Marshy]

Is it just me, or has there not been a good build thread on here lately??

I'll try to fix that. I'm building a bike up from scratch..... it started with a frame, then I got an engine for it, and I've gone on from there. Currently it's had a few bits added - frame and swingarm covers, swingarm, forks, triples, wheels, and a few of the engine bits fitted, as it was still partially apart from being rebuilt.

We all love a good build thread 🏻

It's not what you know

It was missing a few bits. It's just been refreshed, but the job had been started by one person and then finished by another. So the first bits removed (side covers, starter gear, sensors etc) were not included, which put it in the 'too hard' basket. The hard work was done though! I just supplied the missing bits and reassembled.

I've got a few "bit" if you need anything else

sounds like a good deal mate

Finally did a tiny amount of work on this build.... Changed the rear spring for a much heavier one, to suit the new owner.

More progress. It looks chaotic, but a lot of the detail stuff underneath is done, like the wiring and the zorst.

Chain, sprockets, and OEM rearsets (to save time, although I did spend some time switching it to race shift). Race ones supplied separately.
Rear brake fitted - I'm getting rid of the ABS.

Looking great mate! You mean all those bits spread around the garage are condensing into one motorcycle now?!

Those were from a guy on a forum overseas. They are Italian, I believe, but don't know the brand.

It's in danger of looking like a bike!

Looking good!
Hows the front wheel speed sensor mounted on the 13? Thinking I'll need to tap a thread to mine. Can that be done? Safely ?

Yes, I've done it before. It's a shit job (time consuming), but easy enough with the fork out and upside down

Ta. Might do it with rob when it next worked on.

[Marshy]

Ti mid-pipe and Akra can fitted. Had to drain a non-abs tank, and change over the fuel pump and extra fittings to a tank with room for the abs unit. Fitted the new tank. Threw on some old fairings at 5am (it has brand new ones here in a box)and it headed out to the Creek today.

More work done tonight (just finished now), getting it ready for Friday at ARDC. Fitted a cool cf zorst hanger, to replace the passenger pegs. And fitted fairings! It just needs rearsets fitted, which I can't find but will get for Friday.

Dunno why he doesn't look that happy. I'm guessing because it's 2am on a school nite?

[Turbo]

Needs more carbon!!
Hahaha, nah looks amazing. That's an excellent paint job and a unique looking bike.
