Bored at work...don't tell the boss! So I decided to throw down some pics of the other Zuk in my garage. MOTARD, more fun than a set of twins with low morals!

Little vid, clicky

Well, the stock rear brake setup has been bothering me. The added weight of the enormous stock caliper and the thick ass 275mm disk had to go. So I just bought....

and

more fab work....deadline gets pushed further back...stop me, please!

Nice! Looks like a K5/K6 GSXR 1000 rear rotor and caliper. Should stop things in a hurry. Did you get the rearset brake assembly and master cylinder to go with it?

Spot on! Good eyes, it's a K6. No master yet, still looking for a smoking deal.

What's it worth to you? I have a spare master for that setup.

They are nice & a top piece of kit but I have to say I'm not overly impressed with the finishing on the cast alloy top section. nothing that cant be sorted but at the price they sell for there is room for improvement.

Mark...

I just went back and re-read your first post. February seemed pretty far away back then, didn't it?

What are you thinking about doing to the rear of your frame where you made your cuts. I am trying to figure out what to do with the open tubes. Got a few ideas, but I am curious what you are thinking.

[jonesti]

I was thinking about glassing up some end caps....but I really don't know yet.
February, no doubt, I guess 08'!

I have the same issue from where I cut off the passenger peg mounts. Thinking of placing a plug of Bondo maybe half an inch to an inch inside the open tube, and letting that harden. Once there's a "base" to work with that won't move inside the tube, I'd put enough Bondo to fill the end part of the tube and make a nice vertical plane that's flush with the end of the cut metal. Then sand and paint. No idea if this will work yet though.

PJ, I'd really suggest welding that spot up instead of using fillers. With the flex in that area I'm willing to bet it'd crack/pop out plastic filler in no time. But if you were going to use filler I'd probably use JB Weld as the plug than to smooth the rail this stuff http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/p...ProductID=5594
But if ya, can weld it!
I completely forgot to weld up the holes before I sent it to powdercoat. Trying to get it done in a hurry!

By the way your bike is coming along really, really nice!
