[Cedric]

Sweet. I like them

[KTM_Paul]

please we dont want to start that eligibility shite here. i'm just sharing my piece of history


So by that comment I'd assume it's dodgy on the eligibilty front? :rules::stirthepot:
Have you got a "Sharks Fin" for the rear sprocket yet? and I think you need the front one covered too!
looking good though:ayyy:

[Big Lunt]

well at least it matches the posters in the background!!!

[WET4URacing]

http://www.wet4uracing.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=372 should do it when we make some more this week

no need for a front cover, havnt needed 1 of them for yrs now

[jasonbw]

every time I see those I think of Susie Underwood...

[WET4URacing]

the dude that originally built this 7 wheeled Mladins K in for that poster

[jasonbw]

sweet heritage then... Mladin was unstoppable on that machine.

[clarkey]

Comin up with some nice kwakas lately Paul, :ayyy:-Hows that yellow Honda going ?

[WET4URacing]

i have a shed full of green . cant show all at once now . bit like a stripper rippin it all off at once.
honda is just gettin some new paint. all the damage is fixt.

[frostyscurse]

Is that the bike Ive heard Bomma talking bout', ...was waiting for his son to ride?

[AG23]

looks heaps good wetty

[WET4URacing]

Is that the bike Ive heard Bomma talking bout', ...was waiting for his son to ride?

Now thats a nice Kwaka. :ayyy:

[sbutler]

Get this>> r u gona b riden the kwaka wetty? :lmao:
Thats Wetty speak for.
Will you be riding the Kawasaki in [pre modern]Wetty?

[WET4URacing]

fuk yeh i'll b aboard the 7

[sbutler]

fuk yeh i'll b aboard the 7

c ya out there.:lmao:

Being serious for a moment, What is a good time for a pre modern around the creek wetty, what should I be aiming for, remembing the NE1 & PM are on the same grid this year ???:confused1:

[WET4URacing]

PM will do 40 or below.
NE , i think Murray will do close to 40, i hope.
2 yrs agos i went 39 and Mr Avery 38.
last yr i didnt get thru fri.

[1down5up]

was just watching a old tape and a brother of a rats member won at the island wsbk on the green zxr (two of the best races of all time ) and through his leathers into the crowd from the podium ( what was that red hair die job all about lmao ) they where very compettive back then in the hands of the go show and crafar .......lookin sweet wetty and they did 1,33s at the island in 96

[WET4URacing]

think the local bikes went 32 or better at the creek in the 90's with craggill n bucky. i wont b thats 4 sure

[WET4URacing]

thort i better get my other RR ready as well , u can never have too many of these vintage specials to get thru the weekend

[zRoYz]

more goodies the 7 is already :ayyy:

it is a testament to the racing that there can be a need to bring a spare bike, it's all friendly & smiles in the pits but on the track the red mist always falls.

more pics as the RR goes together please.

[WET4URacing]

motor is now screwed together for the spare bike.

[WET4URacing]

just have to stick the #1 bike back together to get it off the bench so i can stick the motor in #2.

On my NE2 600 Kwaka I got a best lap of 1:49.658 and I finished up 11th in my class overall for the weekend :dohsmiley:
HERE (http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?23/03/2008.RRT) are the results and times from last year

[sbutler]

Thanks Paul. Things are all different now. How do you find the combined grids??
Love or hate em??

[KTM_Paul]

I'm not racing this year :(

[sbutler]

I'm not racing this year :(

Thats a bummer!! I was hoping you'd show me around the creek, after last years balls, up getting 3 wet laps, before the bike ingested mud from the tank[thanks to the Shell garage just outside the track]. I sort of need some help.
I'll see if I can tag onto someone that can show me the right way around the joint.:confused1:

[KTM_Paul]

I'll see if I can tag onto someone that can show me the right way around the joint.:confused1:


Exit the pits and turn left! :ayyy:

[WET4URacing]

well i have finally finished the YZF750 tonight, ready for a shake down (or apart) on sunday.
now just have to finish my 7's for sunday.

[wonnaride]

Looks good.

[sbutler]

Looking good wetty.
I called John www.mototech91.com/index.html today, my paint job is well under way, so I guess I'll have it all back together in the next week or so!!
Did all my suspension checks today. eg: sag, rebound, comp, preload, & its come up a treat.:ayyy:
If all this goes as good as I think, I'll be over the moon!:dancesmiley:
I cant wait, fingers crossed I can get up to speed quick enough to be on the pace. I need time at the creek.

Wetty are you doing the good Friday practice??

[WET4URacing]

of corse. this sun and mon, sat 4th then easter. hope they both hang together this year. old bangers are gettin too old and too expensive to keep fixin up

[sbutler]

If you've put em together right, you shouldnt have to touch it. It should just bang along all weekend...

[WET4URacing]

if they were new then yes. 2nd session i pulled the end off the throttle cable on bike 1. it hasnt bin ridden since 99. bike 2 soldiered on . see what happens 2moro. mite get sum wet prac in.

[WET4URacing]

they had there final shakedowns on sat. now just finishing off a few bits n pieces to get thru scruitineering. both had a bit of trouble staying around 70deg. was having to pull over and wait for heat to rise. may have to tape up the massive rads this wk end.

[SLAC]

big arse radiators... No wonder they wont get hot enough..
Why the solid rear sprocket?
Do those brakes really need the air deflector.. I think they should pull up just fine.
Bikes are looking very schmick, some trick looking gear on them..
Got to work friday and Sat, but maybe able to pop out Sat, Def be there Sunday to watch the racing..

[WET4URacing]

its the only 44t i had. tryin a diff ratio for fri morn.

[sbutler]

Um wouldnt you be running a therostat?? They should never run to cold if the theromstat is the correct temp..

[WET4URacing]

um no it dosnt. they are both proper superbikes , proper faktry engines , no where for a thermostat to live.

[SLAC]

Thort i'd lube u all up with a bit of class. Its almost ready for its 1st outing in 9 yrs. Those of you that know will know what it is those of you that dont your prob to young to be viewing this thread:)

Wetty in the 2nd photo is that a adjustable swingarm point or just OEM?
Man there is some goddies on that kwaka... The rods alone aint cheap..

[SLAC]

Um wouldnt you be running a therostat?? They should never run to cold if the theromstat is the correct temp..

Same as the WSBK, ASBK if they need to hotter bring out the 100 mile tape.. More air in goes the scopes

[zenodamper]

Mind you, both the 636's run cool too - I will be lucky to see over 70° soon with winter coming....

RR not povo R. both are RR's

[SLAC]

RR not povo R. both are RR's

Yeah i know that! huge diff between the 2, wondering if is was a adjustable pivot point or fixed so only the head stock is adjustable

[jasonbw]

Description of the 7RR compared with the 7R:

7RR from the factory - adjustable steering head with special inserts. adjustable swingarm pivot with special inserts. Front forks have different internals for more adjustments (more compression and rebound) and the fork seals are a different size, so the tubes are a little bigger. The front calipers are 6 piston Nissin instead of the Tokico 6 piston. They are lighter and supposed to have better feedback. The rear shock was different. Same size with more adjustments. The motor was basically the same except with a close ratio transmission and wet slipper clutch. You could change to gear driven cams with kit parts. Airbox was the same, but it came with 41mm flatslide carbs. The 39mm flatslides off the M models work better. Came from the factory with the solo seat tail, no passenger pegs, and the trick muffler hanger. They were sold in 96 and 97, but they are all 96 models. They had the same paint scheme as the green/white/purple 96 model.

[SLAC]

Cheers JB..

[WET4URacing]

cheers 4 that jb. 1 of these is actually plated 95. was the 1st to hit these shores late 95. i blagged it out of the deep dark depths of the wharehouse. 1 must 1st bleed green to get in there.
there is more adjustments on these old girls than 09 models.

[WET4URacing]

All finished. mine are ready and this piece of vintage art is too.

[WET4URacing]

and theres 1 for you too RIPPER and you to ZENO(sorry there late mate)

[SLAC]

Front and rear stands.. LOL
She looks the goods..

[zenodamper]

How's shock feel now?

Stickers where?

[zoltanp1967]

awesome! i was flagging at T12 then T8, wasn't sure if u got it out there and not having a bike number in the pics and not having your real name on the rats forum means i just don't know! How'd'ya go ?
zoltan

[Big Lunt]

Is that a R1 front end you have put on that??


All finished. mine are ready and this piece of vintage art is too.

zoltan

i did ok

yes lunty its got a bit of R1 on the bike. was easier and cheaper than YZF bits. had to do some machining to get it the R1 stuff to fit. amazing the YZF 6 pot callipers bolted onto the R1 fork. now i just have to make it go. the old girl was a bit slow out there. best it did was a 50. i nearly ripped him off it in prac as i went by.

remember the side stand is your friend. how the fark any1 can do without is beyond, unless you have an elf running around after you, even then they can fuk it up hey clarkey?

[sbutler]

I rememeber seeing that YZF & commenting on how bloody nice it was!:ayyy:

[SIX36]

What number was your Kwaka 69?

[WET4URacing]

yes 69 is there any other no. for WET4U?

[Johnny]

LOL, I was on 3.7 Saturday ( 2 friday and sunday), and when I heard checkered flag being called, I was ready to give riders a clap as they come up to turn 4 entry .
Saw Wetty coming up and was giving him a clap, untill I saw him stand up, strike a pose for photographer waving the the finger with a 1st motion.


You couldve got off the bike and kiss the ground or stick a flag in it claiming it as Wetty's land..


Fuckenhell, nearly died laughing, couldnt even give a clap to all through laughter :lmao:

Nope sorry was only out for a few hours on Sat before the big acco in turn one.

[gazujc]

No he wasn't but he was a lot calmer than I had seen on a few other occasions.

Speaking of which, did you find where Sammy had put it?





Gaz

[WET4URacing]

he prob wore it to bed

[boomer]

nice photo 848. have you got any of 96 YZF red white black

was that number 96? if you tell me leather & helmet colours I'll have a look through my lot. have a look through my site & see if it's on there, although that's only a small fraction of the total number taken on Saturday am.

edit. how bout this one!

all eligibility crap aside. yes you still have to be able to ride them etc blah blah blah, but the idea isn't to put R1 front ends on. Forgotten era made the same error in missing the people putting later model stuff on which is visually quite different, until there was a major crackdown and then too many people were effected.
It just ups the ante, then there are more doing it, then dummies get spat and bikes get protested and people spit more dummies and chuck a wobbly and leave the class. Or one could stick to period parts like the rules clearly state. Do I hear the defeaning sound of silence? I personally would like to allow R1 stuff in as yzf750 forks will become rare in good nick whilst R1 stuff will be everywhere? Are they cheaper?

Firstly I don't race so my opinion means squat but looking at what your saying think about this for a moment. I guarantee if you pull any race bike suspension apart any class where stock suspension is meant to be used you will find nothing stock about the internals. The fork tubes tend to mean nothing unless your changing to inverted forks on a bike that didn't come stock with them. So long as you use the stock brake calipers the type of tubes you use really has squat advantage. How often in racing do they take your suspension away to examine what you have internally which is really what is important.

As you expressed some parts are becoming very hard to source & it would be a shame to have a good old style race bike scraped because parts simply not aval. I would say the big issue would be you need to keep the same overall fork design if changing with same brake package.

Zoltan the forks that came with the bike were rusty. it was gunna cost almost the price of the original cost of the bike to get new 1's . the R1 fork is almost identical except for the color . they both have spring comp & rebound adjustments . so it was more cost effective. if we were having to replace with same model forks it wouldnt have been on the grid. the same YZF750 triple clamps are used so there is no geometry gain.
Or we could have gone and found an ATM and removed all the contents with a bottle of gas and purchased a set of 'O'hlins forks from the era. :)
do you approve?

[WET4URacing]

Sorry -so its legit or not now , or just accepted/tolerated ?? How good would a 954 front end on the 900 blade be eh

[zoltanp1967]

differences are probably not recognized / noticed yet by scrutineers as they might not be used to period differences and simply see parts as 'they look right'. they also rely on other riders to draw attention to stuff or put a protest in.

fork internals r free to modify and r not required to be stock. I would like to allow having extremely similar forks, like the R1s, and yes, it would be nice to get ohlins which work better i presume? you bring the gas I'll drive :drivingsmiley:

you could already put upside downs on any period bike from any make model onto any make model as the rules don't require using OEM parts, only that the parts are from the period. so one could put yzf forks on a blade already :ayyy:

yes calipers are fine. by brakes i meant discs: being the 'outfield' type where the bolts are not near the axle, they are removed. might not be an advantage, but again, quite different from period ones being thunderace or R1. Again, I don't care, I won't be protesting, just be aware sooner or later someone might raise the issue. :rules:

the thing is that there are always other people who will make this an issue simply on principle. so be aware. The reason for sticking to the rules is so things don't get out of hand as they usually do :) Then also what happens is that prospective builders/riders will see such components and put them on their bike only to be told the same. Again, annoyed owners is the result.
I would suggest to you to suggest to the pcra NE subcommittee that any not-radial-caliper forks should be allowed. If enough people feel that way it might happen. in the meantime keep riding of course :dancesmiley:
:ninja::ninja::ninja::ninja:

[WET4URacing]

think we will rechrome the YZF forks then, more $$$$. made round to go round.

[zoltanp1967]

I didn't write allthat to get you to change... just to give you a heads up that it mihgt be an issue. wait see if anyone complains. I don't think anyone will.

mine needs rechroming too. how much do they charge?

[WET4URacing]

about $200 a leg

. note the belly pan steve. it'll catch 3 litres of engine. i have a set of FZR600 almost finished that we have incorp a belly pan. i will stck the foto up as soon as its all dun , hope by sat.

See what do you think about this though??>>
I got a feeling It will effect ground clearence.
Its just an odd fairing bottom the 1000 has.
But if you think you can make something that will work? Interested..:confused1:

here is fotos of the belly pan insert we are fitting to the FZR600 fairing today. i'll stick up the finished foto as soon as we have achieved the task. the insert is from my ZX7rr carbon fairing that i didnt use on wk end in case of disaster. its worth a fortune to replace.

But cheers - a few laps before...

It's hardly a fair comparison ... the GSXR rider was handicapped by being weighed down with a Helmet Visor! :lmao:

By the way Wetty How DID you see down the main straight without a Visor on? :confused1:
I'd imagine your eyes would be crying like Johnnys when he gets told he needs a haircut!? :baby:

[WET4URacing]

i hid behind my screen like everyone does.??? turn 1 my face would have looked like i jumped out of a plane.
yes i past him on the straight part with my million more HP
more fotos?

[Jake]

Just those two online, might have a few more on the card - will check when I can :ayyy: This was the Sunday, by the way...

[WET4URacing]

yes i only ride sun arvos without a visor:)

[Johnny]

First time Im going to mention the visor incident, as Im sure even though you yourself are joking about it, NOW, it wouldve pissed you off to no end, so I wont even joke about it.

But.... why ?... what happened that caused you to ride without one ? (Im sure you didnt expect the kazillion at start finish line not to notice it, so it mustve been a last second thing ?)

[jasonbw]

I thought it came off mid race... was on the track at T3 was it ?

[gazujc]

I thought it came off mid race... was on the track at T3 was it ?

Only if it got thrown there from the control tower.




Garry

[WET4URacing]

it popt off 1 side when i flicked it down on the start line . so i removed it completely. what i should have dun is flickt it off thru turn 1 after the start. must ""start""" race with all saftey equipment.

That's right if you were racing in dirt, but road race rules mean the only saving grace in that situation would have been glasses.

no thats wat they said in the tower "must sart with all"

[jasonbw]

Then you would have got away with it, they dont always know the rules :D I'll remember that one if my visor screws up :)

[sbutler]

it popt off 1 side when i flicked it down on the start line . so i removed it completely. what i should have dun is flickt it off thru turn 1 after the start. must ""start""" race with all saftey equipment.

Arr,, was that you that caused all that drama. I could see something was going on, but I had to start on 36 grid postion, so I really needed telescope to see that far ahead.
So the visor snaped off. Thats a shit, much like me doing 2 laps & breaking down. Well Wetty, I know how you feel mate. If that any help?:ayyy:

[WET4URacing]

no the delay was when the engine decided it wanted a rest just as the red lite was about to cum on.

I've heard of people "Making there bike wide so they can't be overtaken" but come on Wetty that's taking it a bit far! :lmao:

[zoltanp1967]

so is this bike refered to as the 95 zxr750rr M1 or the generally later zx7rr? mate of mine just bought a m1 and this looks similar...

i am being told the zx7rr was supposedly raced somewhere in 95 and that's why it's eligible in pcra's Premodern.. do you know what the go is?

[WET4URacing]

both of mine are ZX7rr N1's they were built in 95 and were puchased by teams in 95. 1 of mine is the 1st to get here in nov 95 . there were many around the world purchased in 95 . even if there was only 1 produced then thats enuf for the rest to be able to be raced in pre modern. vic is called period 6 i was told by a customer who bought a ZX7r fairing off me last week to race at winton this weekend. Rob Muzzys ZX7RR was on ebay last month with a comp plate that read 11/95.a ZXR750 M1 has 1 air intake a ZX7r has 2 . my RR has 3. enuf info dude?

[zoltanp1967]

yeah, awesome! good stuff! gonna be at next pcra OPGP?
