Third time

[Blower]

My supercharged and fuel injected EFE is beginning to look a little boring.
So it?s time to make a "facelift".

The starting point:

First thing to do was a new belt guard:

then the better flowing sc outlet:

new stainless fuel rail for the E85 fuel:

 

[Blower]

Because the fueltank and tail/seat are going to redone the electric stuff need to relocate:

main electrical things relocated and started to making the new fuel tank:

 

[Blower]

Then was time for the seat/tail unit.

Planning the lines:

tail done:

 

[Blower]

The engine needs new update too.

Original EFE cylinder block without cylinder liners:

1100 GSXR liners and Hayabusa pistons:

new big block (1360 cc) done:

to be continued...

How you figure that starting point is "boring" is beyond me. lol.
Amazing work as usual, Blower.

It wasn?t polished before. It was painted with chrome paint.
I?m going to leave the tank and seat unit finish after eccentric grinder and 1500 grit grinding disc.

You sir, have skills...:clap:

Amazing.

Really like the new look. :dancing:

Thanks for your positive comments!

Yesterday and today I?ve been working with the seat lock and glued & formed the seat padding.

It?s not finished yet, it needs more forming before I can take it to the saddle maker:

That is a really, really, awesome looking motorcycle. In either the "before" or "after" incarnation.

I bet (if you haven't) you'd have no problem at all getting that bike into some magazines if you sent out some pics and such.

I really like how in the first incarnation, the nose of the fairing really matched the tail of the bike, are you going to do a similar thing for the new tail?

I try to keep it simple this time so no front fairing, only 7" round headlamp.

Awesome project! You definately got mad skills!

As amazing as the first set of body work was, I think you really nailed it with the new tank and tail section. It looks more era correct and yet modernized at the same time. I love seeing the progress pics. It really highlights the amount of time and effort required. Your fabricating/mechanical skills are truly awe-inspiring..beautifully done.

This is fantastic. But be honest here, is the real reason you are redoing it is to a have a tail with a bigger bum stop you don't fly off the back??

Love the new muffler too, looks much better than the other one that was on there.

The bike does not look so good anymore and I want get more oldschool look to it.
I like the look of the Nico Bakker race bikes in the seventies and I have tried to get the same look to my bike though with some modern touch.

The muffler and the whole exhaust was the first exhaust I did to this bike. It looks better and because it?s 4-2-1 it?s provides better torque.

Next thing to do is the engine modifications.

Fantastic work! I loved the old bike, but the "new" one is absolutely SICK. You've captured the best "old school" look for these bikes, and your skills and mods put it totally over the top.

Just when I start to feel like I'm getting proficient at this stuff, I'm reminded that there are many levels of skill beyond mine. You, sir, are at the top.
