Blitz's X18 - Rising Sun Ninja

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

man ive been dying to show you guys after the first panel came out great
ive been working on this paint for at least a week
i wasnt really sure if i could do it, i never layered paint outside of class, so it was kind of an active test
i saw the rising sun graphic a few weeks ago and i was hooked, it was japanese and fit the theme perfect, at first i was gonna do a small spot on the 15 then i thought ill do the whole 18 in it if the aluminum body panel works out, which did
the sides arent mirror and i didnt even try to do that, actually i did 'kinda ' try and well you see how it went, but i dont care as it adds a bit of flavor for both sides, there are also plenty of mistakes like overspray and such, i dont care at all, im just glad its as good as it is
right now its got the stretch arm, i plan on taking it to vir to race in the 110 class so it will have the stock arm on soon, i need to do some flavor on it too
all rattle can
2 primer
2 gloss white
2 gloss red
3 clear
1.5 rolls of painters tape
1 sunday newspaper
2 sheets 400 wet/dry
2 sheets 1000 wet/dry
1 blister
1 bangin azz 18, i actually like my 18 now rock2

[mishka]

i love it!!!!
ya hecca jdm hahabluelaugh

you did a very nice job man!
sick looking bikethumbsup2

Very nice Blitz very very very nice thumbsup2rock2

[ninja x1]

wow!!!!speechless33 that looks bad ass!!! cool_smilie

good job man!!!speechless33

[rene13]

Thats sick!bows_smilie

[Ghost Rider]

damn thats looks really good. I thought i was going to be the only white bike. What did you do to make that lower plate behind the front wheel. Or is that just part of the aluminum pieces that you made? i need to make one of those.

oh and did you just take the tip off of the stock exhaust??

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

ya i made the lower front with a x7 inspired cross plate thingy
ya i drilled out the rivits to the cap and ground down the welds to the tip from the inside, then rivited it back on
thanks guys, the response has been really good
im almost scared to ride it
now i got to do all the decals for it

[Shooter]

Impressive!
Most impressive!

Doing the whole bike like that makes it that much more dramatic.
I really like the swingarm and the option for adjustable heightthumbsup2
Great job!!!thumbsup2

[Ghost Rider]

what decals are you putting on it?

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

um i dont really know yet
ninja and zx110R for sure, and the blitz logo
it could be alot like the 15 just styled different
thanks shooter, i was thinking of you when i was doing the aluminum panel, body work is less than exciting

[Ghost Rider]

In my opinion (which doesnt mean a thing haha) dont put a lot of little different color stickers on it like the x15...keep it clean and just get all red/white/black stickers. But thats just me

[swheels]

Sweet!!!thumbsup2 now throw some slicks and numbers and take her to the track.

[X7rocks]

daaaaaaaamn
thats a badass paint job blitz!

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

its got a slick on the front and a maxxis on the back
#22
ya i was thinking red white

[Ghost Rider]

So on the exhaust can you just drill through the top 3 rivets and pull that piece out, then pop off the tip, slide the piece back in, and put 3 new rivets in?

Did it make any difference in sound?

[doug@xmr]

I thought you might think this was cool Blitz. Not exactly the same but very similar idearock2. This was my GSXR 750 from back in the day. Couldn't find the whole shot of the bike but this will do. It was originally just red and white but went back and added the neon yellow into the white. I think it would have looked better with the way you layed out your designthumbsup2.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

thats a nice bike doug
a different verson of the same graphic
i was thinking of a black/red twin bike
i dont see myself doing regular paint jobs anymore
49cc, yes thats how i did it, nope didnt change the sound, i have a exhaust leak at the head tho so i cant really tell, the dang gasket fell out somewhere and i lost it

[doubleu82]

Dang Blitz! That's tight! Great job on the taping. I did a small graphic on my husbands bike and it was tedious. Your work and effort really shows!

[Brigham]

Damn dude, thats pretty badazz.bows_smilie

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

got the stock arm on and some decals
rode it around today and it was nice
got the drain plug drilled and wired, still gotta make the catch can but then its ready for vir

[Niusiic[latvia]]

maybe take some vid blitz?

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

i did a walkaround
you can see how the aluminum piece came out and other mod stuff
as soon as vir is over, the stretch goes back on

Hey don't forget the numbers.thumbsup2

Boy i'm siked and ready to ride.

[ninja x1]

[Ghost Rider]

ya i still need my number for my tail piece #110

ninja are you going to make it out for the august rialto event?

[125ccCrazy]

That looks awesome Blitz, very nicely executed for sure... I can't wait til mine is just ready to shoot the urethane primer on it LOL... I have lots of body work to do yet before it's even close to primer ready....

Keep us posted on that bad boy.... thumbsup2

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

thanks, ya i forgot the numbers, its gonna be #22
i would start it but you all know what it sounds like, whimpy, and mine has a nice exhaust leak at the head to
actually i think the wrist pin walked out again cuz after 5k it starts vibrating like crazy, it did that when i first got it and i fixed it but its been awhile and i think its going again
so if i dont blow this motor before, im sure vir will do it in

[Niusiic[latvia]]

sweet. I live that sun!!

?????? i hope i can!! i doubt it thothumb_down

[Ghost Rider]

how come

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

125, did you read all my posts?
i took the stretch off to track race, i put it back on last night since there is no race now
ya no way to race with that on lol
but if you did it would be funny

[ninja x1]

hey blitz do you think you could make me some of those 110r stickers?? how much?

[boonacka]

sweet bike. i love the extended swingarm. can someone get me the dimensions of that swingarm. mainly looking for the total width of the swingarm at the pivot area

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

ninja, normally i would just say make them yourself, but if you just want some made for you then maybe ill help you out, what would you like?
boo, the swingarm is the same as the stock arm at the pivot point, its a tube that runs to the frame on both sides

[ninja x1]

[doubleu82]

That looks so COOL!! Good job, man! thumbsup2

[Niusiic[latvia]]

yea, I think that too!

[Ghost Rider]

I really want to do the dual front brakes like that...im too scred that ill mess something up and therefore not being able to ride my bike for weeksthumb_down

what parts are all needed to make the dual front brake conversion - another front brake rotor/caliper/pads anything else?

Oh does your x18 have the stock exhaust modd...cuz if i take off my tip with the 3 rivets(like you did)...wont i have that little skinny pipe just sitting there, or does that come out too?

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

its been awhile and in that time the bike has gotten plated and a list of other mods
id like to thank ashar for his input, this is the best of both our bikes
im about ready to go on the first legal voyage today
im gonna get personalized plates but i couldnt wait so i just took whatever they had, i was thinking about BBY NJA
what do you think about that?
ashar, what kind of carb is this? ive decided that the rear facing carb sucks, it leaks gas and its hard to adjust, i need a forwards manifold for sure

[X7rocks]

mann that bike is steller! tell us how the ride around town on it is like :)

[james1300]

Whoa!!! Well DonE!thumbsup2:JP:

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

rode it about 10 miles today
its nice not having to worry about if im allowed to be on the road or not
i had a gas leak so i had to cut it short
i passed a few bike rides that were checkin me out as i went by. i really wanted to turn around and chase them down to ride in their group
so i came home and fixed the gas leak and changed the gearing (a 16 tooth counter sprocket is the biggest i feel safe with on these yx motors)
i guess im just not gonna like the inner rotor kits, i took it off my race bike and now its gonna come off the road bike too
anybody wanna trade a flywheel setup for a irk?

[Ghost Rider]

Ya me and my bro just got back from ridin about the same distance. He rode my friends stock x18(thats been sitting in our garage) and i took out my bike(i have it plated too). Went down to the local canyon and found a nice new freshly painted bike trail that felt like the Isle of man, haha it was sweet. Blitz, you have any canyons near you?

[X7rocks]

i would trade but the only flywheel i have has a gear on it for a 110 engine and im not sure if it will work :(

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

ghost, nope no canyons, im on the coast
S, any motor should work, thanks

[rene13]

Isn't it awesome not having to worry about getting caught riding. The first day I rode mine, I got pulled over. He told me to stick to the small streets and I said "no officer I paid to be on the road and I 'm going to, so he follows me until I left the city. It was funny.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

today was the maiden voyage to my work, which is now 11 miles away
i was pretty achy by the time i got there but it was alright, the ride home was much better
i cant even get a cop to look at me wrong now
made a bracket and got my inspection sticker, my inspector is positive he will lose his license behind this bluelaugh

[james1300]

Mine is Licensed too!
Im adding some rear L.E.D. turn signals to the rear of the X18. They will mount on the license plate bracket (fabed up a little aluminum bracket) and be quick-removable so the plate and signals come off to do Track time.

[ashar014]

congrats on your first legal ride

its good to hear you got it all together and riding well

what gearing are you running your X18 at?

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

well i wanted to run 17/28 but the 17 was pretty close to the case so im at 16/28
whatever the top speed is, i hit it down moses grandy trail today
not as fast as the x15 but id say around 70mph
traffic with a irk sux, so do unexpected pot holes
to use the mirrors i got to peek through my arm pits bluelaugh

[swheels]

Hey Blitz currently all i have is the 110cc stators/flywheel.

When the motor starts to loosen up it will get faster and better.You gotta ditch that carb it came with and you need a good exhaust system.

[stuntnx7]

ghost, nope no canyons, im on the coast
S, any motor should work, thanks




go to the gap aka tail of the dragon aka 129 aka deals gap near knoxville one weekend...you wont regret it if you like twisties

ditch those mirrors and buy a handle bar mounted mirror from walmart....7 bucks...it velcros on and works great....i got one on my big bike bcuz i cut the upper down passed the mirror mounts....its been a 125 mph or more tested

[rene13]

My pig spotters are easy to see through cause of the convex mirror.
You can make some barend mirrors for cheap, they are to expensive.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

i dont like the bar end mirrors, looks stupid to me
S, wont that flywheel go on a 150? if they are both honda clones?
today i got pulled for the first time in forever
i saw him and he didnt pull me right away, then after a mile he did, and he asked me where my license plate was, and i was like 'here is where it WAS, but it broke off yesterday and im going to dmv today to get another one"
i asked if i was speeding and he said, yeah i clocked you at 55 (in a 45, in 3rd gear) but he wasnt worried about that he just wanted to know where the plate was
he commented that he didnt know those bikes could go that fast, i says oh yea
he ran the registration, license, and checked the vin on the bike
everything was good so he was like have a nice day
(his partner that showed up later was a %^@%^, he 'recommended' i get a taller bike to which i said, 'now what fun would that be'
then he says he cant see me, to which i say 'yes you can see me, cause your buddy had to see me to pull me over'
he kinda pissed me off
anyway 10 bux later i got a new plate

[X7rocks]

arent co signer cops the worst?

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

i was gonna say if i painted donuts on the side of the bike, youd see it
he prolly owns a harley and was mid-hatin

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

well i had to make a pipe for the 18 since i took the headpipe that was on it for use on the 15
this is a underslung upswept pipe design
i had to weld four pieces of pipe together for this to work, did you know that a welder is a pipe bender too? bluelaugh
well its not all pretty yet but it is functional, it even shoots fire now! guess i gotta fix those leaks bluelaugh
the can is a shorty of the original and its mostly gutted, there isnt a restriction
i rode it around and its loud and mean
i wish it was a yoshi but this will do till then

[GaRsNoW]

Sweet man! Im jealous for sure. Would be awesome to cruise the streets. Sometimes when I jump to different neighborhoods I get on some main streets for a quick second and its a huge rush. Not sure if it's from going wot until I get to the next neighborhood, or if its making sure I dont get caught....but it's a damn rush

[rene13]

Check lockhart phillips for some mirrors. Are you running the stock on the 18? I had a similar problem with my bike, with the shock. It would bounce like a pogo and eventually broke my fender and then the license bracket, I switch it to the side mount bracket and bolted it on using the axle nut, it was alot more visible and I noticed the cops hated less.

As for the fire coming out the pipe, did you use a lava rocks or a flame thrower? J/K lolbluelaugh

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

rene, ya the shock is stock, and it does bounce when i hit these potholes
when your going 50+, a few car lengths isnt enough to avoid a pothole
so im on my second license plate because of that
but now its mounted high up and the pipe isnt in the way
cept now the swing and pipe flange are mm apart and could hit on a big bump
garsnow, if you worry about getting caught, you will

its a blast on the street for sure
i pulled up to a big bike (dont what it was) and hit my rev limit real quick, nodded my head at him and he reved his up
i would have 'raced' him but i guess he was more mature than me at that moment
the fire is prolly leaks in the pipe, when you let off the gas, fresh air can rush in the exhaust and ignite any unburnt fuel, ya im running way too rich

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

got my property tax bill for the bike
for those that dont know, thats where VA says we want money cause you have a bike law bs crap
anyway it was 8 bux hahahahaha

[X7rocks]

blueluagh thats awesome

hahaha eat the kids first dude these are hilarious

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

chillin at the shop today
this is my bay
i got my laptop and my TP so im good

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

well since the vir event, some things have changed
the hybrid is no longer in the 18 and is on the bench getting the turbo plumbed
i bent the ex valve in the 146 race head so i had to put the stock head back on, with the original 146 piston instead of the huge dome that was in there with the race head
so now the 18 has a 146 with a wimpy head and cam, it sure makes a difference
and i also put the duals on the 18 since i wont be racing for a minute
so now that i can stop good i decided to actually try the interstate
the bike will go about 65-70 without tucking as i dont want to look like im a kamakazi, so i did get passed but not too much, i still get more respect on the bike than i do in the G-low
anyway it was a blast, im not going my old route anymore
so yes, if you get the good stuff, you can just be one of the bikes on the road, just midsized

[Ready2Fight]

Do you not run a rear brake or am I just not seeing it ?

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

ya yer right, there isnt one now
thats the only thing im really worried about
i wasnt gonna go on the interstate till i got one but i moved the duals from the race bike so im good
i can stop faster than a bran new car with abs
but its commin, i need to work out a lever plan cuz i ditched all my rear pedal brakes

[X7rocks]

you bay looks nicer then mine blitz what kinda of tools you repin around the shop?

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

shee my nig weees gots some snap on junts some line-em up lifts, yo we jus got a new tire machine frum snapon
my boss is pretty good with keeping the equipment up to date

[X7rocks]

not mine we only have one lift that you role up into for alingment ( i think its easiest for putting cars up on)

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

ya my bay has a drive on lift
its a single hydraulic pole in the middle
i had an excursion on it today, sometimes it will lift a older diesel
that is how i do the alignments and the oil changes
the center bay has a 2 post lift with arms that come out and you adjust
it can lift alot of weight
3rd bay is inspections
we stay busy, thats how i fund my addictions :yup:

[X7rocks]

hmmm is the one with the pole in the middle in the middle bay then one that has four adjustable ones in the first bay that spreads out form the middle then another with 4 adjustable lifts on the side skirts of the vehicle? if so its sounding just like the bays at my job

i hate doing alignments though to me it feels like such a long procedure id rather change a alternator then do alignment

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

ya alignments are alot of setup time but the actual adjustment usually isnt too bad
ya alts that are on top, some of them you got to dam near do a waterpump job to get the bracket off machinegun designers

[X7rocks]

man i think some of the old mercedes are hard to get to there was a saturn i had the biggest issue with ><

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

well my last ride home from work was a nasty one
first my bike just cut off in the middle of a busy road and i had to push it to a 7-11
after 5-10 minutes of looking at it and wiggling, things i decided to try it again and it started
i think it was the sparkplug wire vibrated loose a bit
so then i get on the highway and a lady in her big suv just starts commin into my lane and i had to ride down the stripes for a second
the car on my left was cool and stayed far over in there lane to give me room
i always forget the horn even in my car so i gave her the wtf hand wave
and i said lots of bad words but i rolled on to home
a few turns before i got there i heard a loud pop and clang
something broke, i looked but couldnt see anything real important so i rolled home
then i saw the horn swinging from the wires, the bracket had been bent it was attached to and it broke, thats what might have affected the sparkplug wire too
so today i did alot of bike maintenance

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

went to dmv today to get my learners permit for the bike
i read the manual online and figured id pass with no problem, wrong, i failed badly, not barely failed, no like not even close
i felt like an idiot
i didnt even study for the car license and only missed 1 question
they had these stupid questions like, 'if its icy out how you stay safe?
A use front brake
B use rear brake
C use both brakes
D slow down before
i was like, first of all, my ass aint gonna be on a bike in the ICE
oppsa dinner time

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

well i wrecked the 18 a few days ago, i was gonna tell yall then but i been on some pain meds bows_smilie
so now that im coherent, i can tell
i had just left work, getting ready to pass city hall i seen some kids on the left that had wrecked their car, the driver wheel had come out and the axle came with it, i was thinking to myself 'dang they sheet got messed up'
then when i looked forward again the cars were stopped, i hit the brake and next thing i know i was getting up, i turned the bike off and some lady cop comes yelling at me to get out of the road cause there was a truck commin through, im like pretty groggy but im stumbling to get my bike to the side of the road
she asked me what happened and i say i was lookin at them kids and got caught up in it, then just flipped it
i think i did a highside but i stuck to the bike this time and it slammed me into the ground basically, i hit on my left shoulder and scraped my left ankle some, also my right hand got hurt, mostly impact wounds
she asked me if i had a MC license and i said ya, i gave her my dl and she went back to her car for awhile
when she came back she said this isnt a real MC license, i said ya i know im trying to get it right now, they were closed on saturday
well she let me go, even let me ride the bike home, i still had 10 miles to go
i strapped the nose to my backpack and rolled out
i really need abs

[swheels]

Dam dude wtf........ Well atleast your ok man......Theres is no time for you to be getting hurt.This could cause problems for your racing career.You need to chill bro!Keep your eyes on the road!Nutty-Rant

Blitz you're my Brah and I hate to see you or your bike on the ground, but! There's always a but. I guess I'm the older Brah so I can say this. WTF WERE YOU THINKING!!!! Rubber-necking causes more injuries in accidents than the accidents themselves!!!!!!!!!

Aight that being said what do you need to fix her back? Maybe we can roll up some parts cheaper than buying new from MBN members. What have you guys got for the cause????

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

thanks everybody, ya i locked em up
i put the duals on the street bike so i could stop good and i ended up stopping too good
my head is fine, the helmet skipped across the road and made some nice new rash marks, i think its still got 1 more wreck in her before i need to get another one
these brakes are unforgiving, i think im gonna put a air bubble in them on purpose, but ya i really need to pay full attention, it doesnt have a abs certified sticker anywhere on my finger, guess i got stiffed on that one

these brakes are unforgiving, i think im gonna put a air bubble in them on purpose, but ya i really need to pay full attention, it doesnt have a abs certified sticker anywhere on my finger, guess i got stiffed on that oneYou really gotta work on that 2 finger grab technique.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

for a few days i didnt see anything but now you can see the underneath bruising that happened
it still really hurts bad and ive ran out of pain pills so i get to gut it out now
5* my helmet is ok, it just scuffed the paint off as it skipped off the road, the shell hasnt been compromised, however i was planning on getting a better one anyway
S, ya that ol two finger dont work when yer in 'oh sheet' mode, which is hardly ever when your racing, and normally in the streets
granted it was my fault nothing to say there
as soon as i got home i told our moped rider he needed a better helmet
guys, if you dont have gear on your gonna get hurt bad, if i would have had on one of those shoulder pad chest protectors i would probably be ok today, but i did have on at least leather and boots, and my ankle still got scraped
so if i woulda been that tee shirt and shorts guy, i would be typing this from the hospital, if i could type at all
so get some gear guys

[The Nutty Professor]

:JP: Damn Blitz that kind of hit usually means a broken collar bone :stretcher: Speaking from experience if you can get back with the doc refill those scripts. There's a fine line between toughing it out and just being a masochist bluelaugh I don't do the paing thing anymore it gets old quick.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

my wife wanted to take me to the hospital but i said no cuz i really didnt think anything was broken, it didnt feel broken, ive never broke it so i guess i wouldnt know
a bone in my hand feels offset but its not too bad, i can lift my left arm up but it hurts
i dont have insurance, that means big bills i cant afford or i would
i dipped into the wifes supply but i have to respect her needs too
i did act as manly as possible for the cops, like oh ya this happens all the time

[X7rocks]

oh boy the pictures with no shirts has begun *slaps forehead


that doesnt look to good blitz you have any freinds that are doctors or nurses of that nature? stuff is pretty tight my brother doesnt have insurance either so things are hard when he gets hurt to

[FiveStarSky]

thats kind of a wierd place to hit the road?

And yeah, docs are exspensive, thats why i didnt go in when i broke my hand in a highside, I'll probably regret it in my 50's, but it seems okay for now.

Thats why i really like the idea of the Icon Feild Armour Vest, full back and chest coverage, as well as the upper sholder area, and for $100, its a good deal. but you can always find used MX chest protectors for cheap.

[swheels]

Yeah if you broke your collar bone you'd know.The pain is intense that arm will feel week.Well i'm just going off of the memory from when i broke my cousins collar bone back in the day. I broke my hand and it hurt like a mother i didn't know it broken till i went to the docter.I never forgot the pain though i'll never forget it.I spent like 40mins trying to put the knuckle back in place.That was some funny ish.LOL ouch ouch ouch i think i got it nope ouch ouch ouch.LOL i kept tugging on the broken bone then trying to move it in to place.angry_red

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

it looks like that in the back too, i flipped the bike but didnt fly off this time
it basically slammed me into the ground on my left side/shoulder, and the bike landed on me i think

[The Nutty Professor]

If the collar isn't broke I'll bet it's cracked at least and your hand is too. Bruising on both sides is not a good sign.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

well i might agree on the cracked, in which case i cant cast it, i just gotta tough it out and be aware of the loads i place on it till it heals
i quit sparring and i am training a kid at work so i make him lift all the heavy stuff
really surprised it took 5-6 days to bruise, my ankle is still raw
i am gonna try and fab a piece to fix my front fairing back on, gonna try the aluminum and some rivits
i think the nice pretty rising sun just became race body work lol
S, i enjoy our talks, nobody else here is ate up with it as much as me so i can only tell half the story, hondub is commin around, his buddy already got his turbo half hooked up to his xr50 with a x18 110, the ex is spooling now he needs to do the intake side
im kinda bummmed he got his going before me

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

finally healed up enough to ride again
i took a test ride then rode it to work friday
the aluminum held up to even 70mph winds
i also modded my headlight
it sheared the wires off in the wreck so i decided it was a good time to improve it
i took a dremil and cut off the tabs that held in the stock bulb so it was flush, then reamed the hole out till the bulb fit through, i used a 3157 (1157)
the socket i had was round with 3 offset tabs around the circumference
i traced out the tabs and cut them out with the dremil, so the socket just twists in with a 1/4 turn, its very nice and clean
sorry i didnt take pics yet
i wired the high beam up first and let it sit to see if anything would melt, it did
so then i wired up the low beam and it just wasnt bright enough
so i wired the high beam back up, as long as i am moving then its cool enough to run, if i get stuck in traffic i may hafta turn it off for a bit

[The Nutty Professor]

Yeah if you throw up some pictures we might be able to give you a few easy ideas.

Maybe some tiny vent holes or some L.E.D bulbs

[The Nutty Professor]

Yeah those bulbs get real hot. I think even while you're riding if it's long enough it will still soften the plastic.

[FiveStarSky]

couldnt you just cut little vents into the clear plastic, to allow air to come in? would have to watch out for rain though.

[boonacka]

damn! another accident because of the brakes! good to hear youre ok though. I think its long overdue that you havent gotten any real protective riding gear. at a minimum, i would get one of the mesh jackets with the built in armor. I have a Fieldsheer one that has served me well during a bunch of really hard wrecks on the track. let me know if you want to get a jacket, i can try to get you a discount. i would spend the money on gear before i started fixing the bike man. sorry to sound brash.. but i feel its more important you ride safe then ride at all. and that goes for everyone. be safe guys.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

lol, ya i hear ya boonacka
this time was my fault
i did have my leathers on tho
i plan on getting a armored mesh jacket like you said too
i rode to work 11 miles with the high beam on and it didnt melt it any more than it did from letting it sit, so it should be ok
i try really hard not to ride in the rain, mids dont like rain

[FiveStarSky]

i would recomend an Icon field armour vest, has back, chest and sholder/collerbone plates, $100 for a new one, and slips right on over/under your jacket. They are pretty comfortable, and arnt as stiff as some backprotectors ive used.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

i want a black/white/red joe rocket mesh jank
kinda like the red one, idk
http://www.joerocket.com/catalog/index.cfm/292/Textile_Jackets

[FiveStarSky]

that one would be nice, but i bet you could fine one just like it cheaper without the kawasaki logo

and why you would want a red ninja is beyond me lol. if i ever bought a kawi. it would have to be green.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

i agree, however my black ninja was themed after this bike:
http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/1689030/
and the rising sun bike is white and red, so red is the common color and white and black go with anything
so it would look good on either bike, unlike a green one

[FiveStarSky]

if your into the repsol stuff, the are a few places that have honda repsol mesh armoured jackets for $99. I would love to get one just to wear while farting around thebackroads, and to wear as a light jacket, but i can only find M-XXL, and would really prefer a small. although i may run by the local shop and try on a med, and see how it fits.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

why would i want repsol? im a kawi man
sure im frontin but who cares, at least keep the theme consistant
honda jacket on a ninja bike = stupid
full face on a harley = stupid (looking anyway)
squids wearing flip flops on their R1 with 30 day tags = stupid

[boonacka]

motorcyclesuperstore.com is have a 50% off sale on fieldsheer jackets

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

lol ya they send me emails
i need something with the shoulder pads in it, the rest of my gear was fine but ill get a separate jacket for work travel

[FiveStarSky]

Whats with the hacker deal? i cant get on the main page (have to go around it?)

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

havent rode the 18 much cause its been too cold and my helmets visor broke
so i finally got a new helmet, $300 kbc for 99 bux
also for the 18 i ordered a 160 motor and a tm28 mikuni, this will be the 100mph bike first

[briansX19haulsass]

Sooooooooo a race to 100mph is what you want that is what you will get. I have the same type of helmet as well. My 160cc is going to be absulty nuts comarped to a stock yx 160. I will post pics of my newly worked motor on wedsday. The motor is this kit http://www.tboltusa.com/store/160-bore-kit-with-new-race-head-and-carbkit-p-868.html?osCsid=3c9aac52944c78ed295b2c22d13c114c inner rotor, lightened oil slinger and the Head has been worked extesivly as well as a Z-40 cam for more duration. Possibly over 18-19 HP...no joke.

[bbbx18boyyy]

x18 vs x19 fo show

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

well thats not what i ment but ok
i ment that the 18 was gonna be the first of my bikes to hit 100
the 160 hybrid will be going in it until i can afford the 184 4V setup
i was gonna put the 160 in my race bike (15) but i havent really rode the wheels off the 146 yet so when that bike is 'slow' then ill up it to a faster motor
but for the 18, it is a legal bike first
ive had this bike on the interstate and although it was ok i would really like more power at highway speed, the 150 had me going about 70 idk, i need the extra torque of the 160 at that speed (53mm vs 57mm stroke)
so big up to vince on the motor and i also got a tm28 mikuni
still got to get the 22 rear sprocket tho
ive put the stretch arm back on for street riding but i can always put the stock arm back for track days
i plan to race this bike a few times this year, even if its just a slow stock 160 ill have fun, actually it will be very fast
so brian, i guess i got at least a month before i can attempt 100, how soon can you?

At least a month as well. Our bikes will give one another some good compition though. You need about 15-16 HP to pull the highest gears made to fit on our bikes 17/22. So after that it is all up to tuning, high rpms, sprockets and weight and who wants it more hahahah. Well just have to make a few youtube videos. It will be good though we will push each other:yup:rock2

I can hardly wait to ride just got back from the motorcylce show in chicago!!!! saw a few X15s and cags but nothing like our bikes our now haha. Just want to do the speed run and get it out of my mindbanghead

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

the stock 160 is supposed to be about 12-12.5, the planned upgrades should make it close to 20 and then of course this is the motor to turbo
so ill try to hit 100 before it blows up
ill see if i can get a stock 160 vid after it gets broke in

[briansX19haulsass]

Ya forsure. Well damn you got your shit all planned out and ready to go:clap:

[bbbx18boyyy]

yo blitz this will get u some hp http://www.tboltusa.com/store/tb-yx160-gpx-ogm-184cc-kit-p-864.html?osCsid=f945818e6524ea0777974f196464b052

[briansX19haulsass]

No if I know Blitz, and I know him fairly well, he will want a 184cc just not that one..... The 4 valve 184cc kit:yup:

[bbbx18boyyy]

yeah the 4 valv e is better

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

im waiting to hear how my brothers 4V is
then i will decide on the roller or the 4v
but ya either way its gonna be the 184

[briansX19haulsass]

when will you be getting one or the other kits?

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

this summer i hope, they cost alot

[bbbx18boyyy]

that would be sick if they come out with a 192cc bbk

[briansX19haulsass]

that would be sick if they come out with a 192cc bbk

Dude you should check out PM their are 160cc motors built all the way up to 260cc MONSTER engines. I just got done reading a thread about a 239cc lxrspeechless33

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

thats pushing it a little far for me
im all for the cutting edge but ive blown up/wasted alot of parts and i dont want to be doing 75 down the interstate and have a motor issue
and for the track do you really need that much power on the small kart tracks?
i mean more power to you if you can harness that much power around a track, AND not blow it up in the process
call me a wuss but i like proven and safe power
my bike has ran very good at all but the last when the head bent a valve, which i take the blame for, it wont happen gain

[briansX19haulsass]

what excatly caused you to bend a valve? Not adjusted? To big of duration cam?

[kevinneedsabike]

brian can u put a link to the 239cc

[briansX19haulsass]

http://planetminis.com/f21/update-my-239cc-beast-lxr-139378.html there you go. A fewer bigger motors out there as well.

who in the hell goes on the interstate with these bikes bluelaugh i dont even hit the interstate with my f4i bcuz the gearing is too high...ive ridden to the store on my piece from the drag strip and wont do it again. Its to much constant speed for a lil engine with no water cooling it.

[kevinneedsabike]

do they sell bbk bigger than 184cc

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

what excatly caused you to bend a valve? Not adjusted? To big of duration cam?

ex tappet came loose and the nut hit the spring leaving the ex valve open too long and the intake valve hit it and bent it
stuntin, its actually quite nice when the bike is built right, if you rode my bike im sure you would agree
now it does take some balls to pass a semi, and the on ramps are sketchy, thats what the bigger motor is for

[K-Pac]

Blitz were you the one that said, that a reason for your head breaking was because of not torque wrenching the bolts?

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

i said before when i did the 114 kit on my 110 it blew the head gasket and the possible reason was not torquing the bolts right, i dont really know
after that i got a torque wrench and always did 12ftlbs on the head bolts and never had that issue again
after that tho i got a 125

nah prolly not, id say a sticker but even my stickers i keep 'real'

160 motor is shipped :clap:
now im stalking any ups/fedx/dhl i seebluelaugh

[Monster_Bike1780]

160 motor is shipped :clap:

lol thats how you get your packages now daysbluelaugh

[swheels]

160 motor is shipped :clap:
now im stalking any ups/fedx/dhl i seebluelaughNow it's just like christmas again when you were a little racer. Waiting on santa to bring the goods.LOLthumbsup2

[RomanianRacer]

I hate it when your waiting for a package and see one the ups trucks roll by your street and your thinking "yes! its here!", but find out the truck ain't coming back for you.

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

well my advantage is i had it sent to my work
they are always seem to be on time when its a business
plus ill get to play with it right away, unless im really busy
im hoping its tomorrow

[MotorHeadMike]

very exciting. which 160 did you get? Price quote please (if you dont mind)

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

now i get to turn some attention back to the 18
the 160 is in and the tm28 carb is so freakin big i had to relocate the battery to make it work, its on tho
looks like the v2 head is the way to go with the s35 cam although i want to try a s30 cam too

[briansX19haulsass]

Ya a V2 head and a S35 cam is a mean setup for sure blitz!

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

well got the motor in, i decided to use the vm26 first instead of the tm28, cuz my exhaust is too small anyway, no need to go big on the carb yet
biggest counter sprocket is a 16 that looked 'safe' i could put on there
nutty, i had to make a vin plate cuz it was on the stock swinger and i wanted to run the stretch arm, so i made a plate and rivited it to the front
in your 'professional' opinion, what do you think of it? good or not good

[shaq93]

the bike looks nice thumbsup2, will you ever do any performance mods to that engine (not including a carb or exhaust)?

[The Nutty Professor]

Blitz to me it looks exactly like a Chinese VIN, but to someone who doesn't know the bikes they might wonder. I would roll with it thumbsup2

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

sweet, thanks nutty
shaq, yea everything eventually:bling2:

[shaq93]

cool. werent you trying to sell your bike on youtube at one time?

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

no that was some idiot kid that took my video to be cool or something...sad

[shaq93]

thats dumb, i sent them a message trying to buy it also.

[swheels]

thats dumb, i sent them a message trying to buy it also.Good thing he didn't get back to you. Cuz you would have gotten scammed..

She looks good Blitz,Excellent work as usual too.thumbsup2
