Endo's Project Darkside: ZX6E: Wiring, Brackets, and Sprockets That Fit

So, like we said in the previous post the subframe no longer lines up with the mount holes on the frame. We needed to find a way to move a hole about 1 inch. So "D" and I piled into the machine shop to look through the scrap metal.

Meanwhile endo took the time to lay out his wiring harness. And cement it in place, as you can see he's using a highly technical method to secure parts in place. Electrical tape.

endo slapped the tail plastics and seat into place and took a couple of shots.

Meanwhile "D" and I were floating about the machine shop, and found two things:
1) A piece of flat steel to make brackets out of.
2) And "D" found a rear sprocket off an old CG125 - and he started thinking.

Bring the metal back into the shop and endo starts to mock stuff up. He makes a nice heart shape on the metal and gets ready to start cutting.

Three sawblades later he's got the shapes cut out and starts filing down the sharp edges. Drill two holes and it's time to finally put the subframe into place. Talk about a momentous occasion, this moment has literally been 9 months in coming.

endo took the first and only test sit. And as you can see it looks good. Finally got the tail to line up correctly with the tank, and the angles are starting to come together. It is going to be a sweet ride.

While endo was making sure his subframe would remain attached to the bike by more then a wiring harness and good intentions "D" and I were playing with the sprocket that he found (on a bike). "D" is the one with the sweet tattoos.

We went with the subframe gusset rather then the spikes off the windscreen :P Looks cooler.

Sadly at this point pieces for "D"s engine came in and he had to get back to 'real work'. That left me by myself to see out his vision - I'm a fabricator and now I'm stuck not only creating something from nothing, I've also got to take pictures. Sorry if this section doesn't make much sense.
