Building a race bike on a BUDGET - Part 2

[@grahamsmith7394]

Tom, stop being tight and get a bloody bike ramp! Your knees will be buggered when you hit 40.

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

Totally get the sentiment Graham... But I'm probably still not going to buy one unless I see one cheap 😂 sorry!

[@stewitr]

Great video again, Tom.

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

Thanks Stew, really appreciate it 🙌

[@seanfavouritesongswithkayb9868]

I would be interested in all the parts you're removing

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

Feel free to get in touch, if you have Facebook or instagram my links to both are in the video description and you can send me a message there to discuss

That opening sentence.. I can definitely relate! 😄 I currently have the fairing off of my ZX12R as I’m changing the oil before it’s used this year. The top fairing is off my SRAD as I’m replacing the worn out faux carbon effect on the air intakes, plus giving it a deep clean. I have also taken the o/s front indicator off my H2 ZXR as the rubber part that pushes into the fairing socket is split..making it quite insecure. New one ordered. I’m currently removing the Akrapovic exhausts & refitting the standard oe silencers on the RSV ready for the MOT & sale. The Fireblade is currently in a state of disassembly as I’m replacing the leaky old radiator, & swapping the front callipers for rebuilt/restored versions etc… So yeah, bits of bike and tools all over my garage 😂 Your projects coming along nicely though 👍🏼

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

Haha now I feel way better about my own projects 😂 thanks for that! Sounds like you've got plenty to keep you busy though 😁👍

[@woooster17]

@@ILikeMotorbikes Keeping busy keeps me sane.. my happy place is my garage 😊👍

Well done mate drunk me tea and ate my biscuits whilst watching this 👍🏻

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

Perfect! That's exactly what I hope people will do while watching me mess about with bikes 😁👍 hope you enjoyed it

[@tomstc]

@@ILikeMotorbikes its literally like I was watching you in the garage offering pointers, you know like when your mate sits there and watches

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

@@tomstc hahha yes I do know that! Not always useful but at least they try 😂

[@elliotrigsby8282]

Just sat here watching your video whilst waiting for the r6 to hopefully pass its MOT, looking forward to following this racing journey of yours 😁

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

Haha excellent, hope the R6 passed? Will you be out on it on track this year?

[@elliotrigsby8282]

@@ILikeMotorbikes yep, got brands and castle combe booked so fare 😁

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

@@elliotrigsby8282 excellent! I can't wait to get back to Brands, I love it 😁 are you doing more of the Bennetts days this year?

[@elliotrigsby8282]

@@ILikeMotorbikes yeah the brands hatch one is a bennetts day and might be doing donnington on the 12th of September

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

@@elliotrigsby8282 ah excellent! Really tempted to buy the rewards scheme this year and do a couple of them! Might join you for Brands again 😁

[@grossi46]

Can't believe how easy those headers came off. I really want to replace mine with stainless ones but scared to death about snapping the studs. Have you had the headers off before buddy ?

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

I hadn't ever had them off! Soaked them in WD40 for about 3 days leading up to it Just go steady and if it feels too tight, stop! It's not the end of the world if you snap them as you can drill the head in situ as there is place for studs to fit opposite the current position (if you look at the bike it'll make more sense)

[@Rideitoutyoutube]

tis weird to see the bike on screen after i see it in person! hahahahaaaa it went well though dude!!!

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

Haha thanks mate! Yeah I bet its weird to see it finished then take a step back in time 😂

[@facuvercellotti]

So how’s this project going? Is part 3 coming anytime soon? Cheers from Argentina!

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

From Argentina, awesome! Yes part 3 is coming, the project has been complete for some time and I have actually raced this bike twice already! So sorry for the delay but I have taken a short break from producing videos whilst I went through some changes in my personal life. I hope to have more videos being produced very soon. Thanks for your support and interest 🙌

[@elliotrigsby8282]

Weight wise I'm going to say 15kg if it's a stainless exhaust system you've put on there

[@ILikeMotorbikes]

Good guess! I need to weigh everything and I'll add it into the final video 😁👍

[@twt3716]

About 20 kilos in weight saving.
