nipper280383 Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Is there anyone on here that is in the bournemouth area that would like to come and give me a hand with my project . Food and drink will be supplied
wild foamy Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 depends what sort of project it is... more details would be helpfull
nipper280383 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Posted December 15, 2012 Well I managed to get a fzr600 89 model. Electrics need looking at. And I want to try and get it back to a double seat. There are a few other little things that need doing as well
wild foamy Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 bit far for me to venture tbh dude, post a list of what needs doing and no doubt somebody would know how to do it
nipper280383 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Posted December 16, 2012 Cud do with someone who is good with bike electrics as I don't have a clue. Also I'm trying to figure a way of putting a double seat back on.
jimmy Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Alright mate. Whats up with the electrics, and re the seat. has someone cut the frame, if not it should be easy just to take the seat off and the original seat should fit. Post pics
nipper280383 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Posted December 16, 2012 some things work and some dont. doesnt look like loom has been cut. as for the frame the person i got the bike from said that the guy he got it from cut it. cvant see where its been cut too. I will post pics tomorrow when better lighting
Noise Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Im only down in Yeovil mate, but im not an Electrics wizz. If the frame is cut then its going to need a frame builder with a Jig to re-weld it back together, but as said if its not cut then all you will need to do is find a standard seat + pillion pad and pop it on. Will wait for some pics then we can go from there. but try and post a few at different angles so we can get a good perspective of whats needing doing.
Noise Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 What i can see is that first off the pillion foot peg brackets have been chopped off. And yes the rear section has been cut as well to fit the after market street fighter seat pan so if you wanted it back to normal then you will be best off getting it jigged, i know a chap called Baz who is going to do my one off frame for my bike and most likely will charge you about £100 ish to do this work for you if you want his e-mail address? As for the wiring, i think its best to just get a second hand complete loom and put that on. Its not hard as the brilliant Jap have made each plug unique to fit its male/female counter part so its just simple plug and play
nipper280383 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 Thanks dude. I'm watching a few looms on ebay at the moment. Once the bike manages to fire up then I will start doing other bits.
nipper280383 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Posted December 19, 2012 I have ordered another loom which comes with fuses and other bits attached. Once it arrives I will re wire the bike and see how things go from there
Noise Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Good O! Like i say its a piece of piss changing the loom they are just tie wrapped to the frame and each plug has its own counter part plug. Best way to attack it is to start at the front, un plug one plug and plug in the new one as you go, at least then you will not loose track of where you are (remembering to cut the cable ties as you go.
nipper280383 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Posted December 19, 2012 I'm hoping it will be pretty straight forward. There are custom lights on the bike so do I cut the loom or buy brackets and put original on. Dissions dissions. I don't intend to keep the bike as my wife wants to be able to come out with me and she can't on this unless I buy a new frame .
Mike1942 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Hi I don't know if it will help but there is a guy on evil bay that sells really good wiring diagrams I have left his name below,tried to find his web address but if you put the item number below in the search box it will take you to his site Item number: 290501358252 Cheers Mick kojaycat (12300 ) Kojaycat Vehicle Wiring
davie6711 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 If it were me I would try and put it back to original. If you're going to the extent of replacing the loom you'll get a good working knowledge of your own bike. As far as the rear sub-frame is concerned it may be a simple case of looking for a trashed frame and getting the missing part welded back on but be guided by the more expert guys than me on this. Good luck with it anyway
