Well just joined up here as looks like a fun place to hang out :D

Thought I would share some pics of my bike build, now this has been a project of mine for the last three years. Ive gone a little mental with it now tbh and its turning in to quite a Frankenstein's monster now tbh..

It started life as a mint 1998 Honda Fireblade

each winter ive done a little tinkering, first winter changed the paint and added VFR800 swinging arm and GSXRK4 tail.. Got it in Practical Sports Bike, more pics

The following Winter I went a little bit mental and decided to add the RR5 1000cc Fireblade motor so sourced a new 1996 frame and started hacking around with the angle grinder to make it all fit. At this point I decided to document the build on YouTube and ended up with a 28 episode build diary

Bike got quite a bit of attention and had a feature in FastBike mag, couple of pics

So thats where she is now, I have a friend who is making some carbon body work so have just upgraded the fairing to CF to match so should end up with 100% carbon body work which will look epics!! Will keep the thread updated on how I get on but little intro for you at least :)
 
Nice, I wish I had the skill to do anything like this but here I am literally afraid to change my levers for fear of damaging something :(

You'd be surprised just how simple things are as long as you take your time.
I'm no where near the same league as LambChopRides and probably never will be, but in just over a year of biking I've gone from never having touched one to doing all sorts of bits and bobs and fingers crossed nothing has fallen off/blown up yet!
 
Great to see you here Lampchop,

Bike looks incredible as always, going to look insane with the new race fairings!, i subbed to you after watching your Healtech QS install and review, although recently sold it on after moving to the SP race unit.

All the best and keep us posted as you progress with it.
 
Nice bike and welcome. I've got the copy of Fast Bike mag with this in, impressive build.

hehe thanks guys and thanks for the welcome :)

Im no bike mechanic i'm just a have a go Charlie and cross your fingers, just take your time and do your research and you can tackle most jobs. Its amazing the resources out there now to help. I had seen another CBR900 with the cbr1000 motor in it so I knew it was possible to fit it. Didnt know how he did it but if he managed it I was willing to try :-)

Will keep the photos coming as things progress :)
