Son of Sparkz Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hi All, New to the forum but have grown up on bikes and helping my dad have fun in the workshops modifying them. His first project bike even featured in the original Mad Max which started life as a z type Kwaka. My dads last project bike has now become my project as he passed away in May this year. It's a 92 Yamaha YZF750 rear frame with a 03 R1 front end and the plan is to turn it into a tribute bike in the end. I have a 1040 hybrid motor for it so when it's finished it should be a beast. I'll start a build thread when I get started on it if someone can point me in the right direction and all feed back is welcome be it good or bad. Dads dream will become a reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted September 26, 2017 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2017 Welcome to the forum it sounds and interesting idea. 1040 hybrid of? Whats the big bit in the middle, yzf 750, r1, zed? What direction are you struggling with. Bike or forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Sparkz Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hi Cynic, I'm learning about the forum and as for the bike I only know enough to be dangerous. The bike was sold to dad as a UTE and trailer load of bits and there is probably enough bits to build two bikes if I had a second frame. There is a stock 750 motor and the 1040 motor is all in bits ready to build. Hybrid of what I don't know it's just what's in dads notes. The frame is a yzf750 to the steering column I think with the r1 forks. One of the last things dad did was get me patched in to his motorcycle club so a few guys there will hopefully help me out and I thought a build thread to get you guys input would be handy as well. I'll stick some photos up here tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted September 26, 2017 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2017 Ah. So were talking 750 with the thou top end in a yzf frame with an R1 front end. Interesting, the forks will go in without any real headaches, motor mounts will be an issue and shoving something into the rear end to balance the look of the front will get you thinking. Just remember the MOST important forum rule with things like this. PICTURES, lots and lots and then a few more PICTURES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted September 27, 2017 Moderator Share Posted September 27, 2017 Kin ell, it wasn't inspired by the film it was in the film, with your Dad in the film. That's some pretty heavy family kudos. So did your dad get splatted by max in the film. Might have to watch it again. hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Sparkz Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Nahh Cynic he was just an extra. He was in a few scenes. only guy on a white bike and yes thats him riding up on the foot path cause some dick was going to slow infront of him. theres a few shots of his hand, leg and fairing at they are backing in and in the fight scene then walking over to the donuts scene. He did get the crap scared out of him by Toecutter though in a red light brothal but that's another story lol Miss my dad and this Yami has to be perfect. i've started a build log if anyone wants to take a look Cheers Son of Sparkz Intro: https://yamahaclub.com/forums/topic/45344-son-of-sparkz/ Current Build: https://yamahaclub.com/forums/topic/45345-yzf-750-and-then-some/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
