  1. Handles much better than standard and takes off like a scolded cat Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. All road legal as of today! Time for some fun! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. It is off a 2003 R1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Tail is off an R1 5PW, and whilst it is a tad higher than I intended, it needed to be at that angle to house the battery and electronics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. It's surprisingly comfy, and handles much better than standard Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Completed and ready for shakedown Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I've got 2 aces, one uses oil the other doesn't! I'm lead to understand it's the rings at fault not the stem oil seals! Apparently if you fit the rings from a GTS the problem is solved! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  9. This is the mock up of the finished bike Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Started with a standard Thunderace but after some old bloke knocked me off, a project has developed... Subframe cut and welded For the R1 5PW tail Tank re shaped for the new seat Fairing panels slimmed down R1 forks mated to FZR1000RU yokes ZX12R rear shock and Ducati dogbones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. If I remember my youth correctly I think they had a sleve in the downpipe as a restrictor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Lesson to be learned here ...... Adjust your chain regularly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Well more I've looked today the more I like it, front of seat is to be lifted by 30mm and a filler panel constructed! Was going to adapt the ace plastic battery box to lay the battery flat but have decided to make a fresh box and fuse carrier out of ally sheet instead Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Got rose joints and M10 turnbuckle all in aircraft spec steel Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Dog bones are only temporary until the bits arrive for my home made adjustable ones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. No idea, dog bones are same length! I bought a full linkage off a Ducati so I had more choice of shocks as Ducati has eyes both ends and ace has eye and fork at bottom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi I'm Paul, new here from Ripon North Yorks. My Thunderace was bog standard when I bought it First job polished the rims and fit a stubby can Then disaster..knocked off by an old bloke and insurance declared bike a right off (paint damage) so bought it back, bought another frame and decided to do some modifications Got an R1 5PW rear Which will require subframe alteration So the cutting bending and head scratching started TIG welded Mock up getting ready for paint And a new shock off a ZX12R with Ducati dog bones Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
