Re: My attempt at building a track nc29(On a shoestring budget)
Lookin good.
Can I suggest you move the cdi and other electrics to inside the rear subframe? Keeps it a bit safer should you have a little 'oopsie'.

Re: My attempt at building a track nc29(On a shoestring budget)
Good advice chaps, i was gonna ask if anyone had a piccy of their subframe with all the bits in place. Also, with the cbr600 shock, i mounted it so i could easily get in to adjust the rebound damping screw. But on other bikes they appear to be the other way, allowing the reservoir to be mounted near the exhaust hanger. Does it matter which way it is?

Check out the 'new arse end on my racer' thread in the CBR graphics section. There are some pics in there that show where my CDI etc is mounted. Although its a non standard subframe, you'll get the idea.
On the std subframe i put some holes in the back of the battery box and attached everything onto there with zip ties.

Re: My attempt at building a track nc29(On a shoestring budget)
Ok after taking on board what you guys have said about moving the cdi etc, ive now located them behind the battery box like advised. Nice and neatly tie wrapped into position.


All coming along nicely now, will be borrowing my rearsets off the road bike for the time being. Then i think i might give her another good clean seeing as shes coming together and things have kinda fallen into place.

Ok fat guy tested, all ok
Fitted a new 14t front sprocket i bought of GF ages ago and now need to fit the new clutch cable.
Will be fitting the front fairing that i was using on the roadbike on trackdays. Just a single rear seat cowl is needed now as regards to the body work.Then a screen brace will make it complete.

Is that the turn signal relay on the RHS?
Might not need that on the track...
It's looking good. I love watching these threads/bikes come together
