Thunder,
You are very weak. No more secret's for you:eek: I hope Lou doesn't find all the torn up wraping paper laying around:debil:

 

[Patman]

Yeah he may be slepin' wit da fiches. :scream:

 

[BigBore]

Hmmmm.....is that a Moriwaki exhaust system? :eek:

 

[Camstyn]

Is it the TeamWANK pipe?:confused:

 

[CanadianRidr]

Is it the TeamWANK pipe?

Nah those suckers are never in stock ;)

 

[MONKEYMOUSE]

I bet it has this kit on it!

seeing how its called the hurricane!:moon:

 

[MONKEYMOUSE]

that IMG tag wont load so heres the like. I bet im rite about the kit !!! hurricane graphics kit

The secret exhaust does look like a Moriwaki exhaust only with a polished finish but can't since they don't make one for the 426F. The end cap make it look like a Pro Circuit T-4 but I doubt you guys would waste your time and money with a wimpy T-4 :confused:

Not TeamWank...

Team: No-Talent Ass Clown!

And not just graphics and plastic. We did it right. Every last nut, bolt and screw. That's been sandblasted and powder-coated, BTW:

 

[biglou]

Notice the polished engine mounts? All the mounts, guards and swingarm look like mirrors.:cool: I know they won't stay that way, but it looks good for the photo shoot! C'mon Clarke tank. That's the last piece of the puzzle!

Forget the polished crap look at those sweet looking carb vent hoses! Mine are old brown looking where can I get those pretty blue hoses? :p

:whiner: Im telling,
I don't know who but you I will tell but you are in trouble:whiner:

 

[biglou]

Hey, we swapped faded blue plastic for yellow and faded yellow vent lines for blue! I got them at my local shop. If you can't find any in your area, let me know and I'll snag you some. They have several sizes. You can't see it but the radiator vent tube is translucent blue also. Trust me when I cay that this thing is as clean as the day it rolled into the showroom. :D

Here's how she sits now. Just waiting for that tank. Graphics are on the shrouds already. No more pix till she's done!

 

[CanadianRidr]

So who made the exhaust?
And is this your bike lou>?

ps, Who's ugly mug is that in the swingarm I can see? j/k lol

 

[BigBore]

Nice. Judging by the front fender, its either a '98 or '99? The stripped & polished swingarm is a nice touch.

 

[MONKEYMOUSE]

im guessing I was correct bout the kit seeing the yellow platic and all!;)

 

[CanadianRidr]

too bad a lot of people allready said that before monkey ;)

It's a PC T-4 pipe. It's Thunder 33's bike. Believe it or not, we did most of this with just elbow grease and some connections at work. We have sandblasting, powdercoating and upholstery specialists at my disposal. I did all of the work myself except for upholstering the seat. I started on it but one of the uph guys took it away from me (luckily!). Other than a few incidentals like cables and grips and fluids, all we really had to purchase was the plastic, graphics and seat cover and the tank. The tank wasn't totally necessary, but we werren't going to skimp on it, either.

Just to get an idea of how much work went into this. Here is a clear picture of where we started:

 

[MONKEYMOUSE]

They have :whiner: I read the whol thred over I didnt see any one that mentioned that platic setup and kit:scream:

 

[CanadianRidr]

2nd page monkey :D lol

Lou that was definately some NICE work, is that a primer black? I like how it's not cheap and glossy looking!

 

[biglou]

Kevin-It's a 99 400F.
CR-It's one of our stock colors that's called "Flat Black but is actually a matt black. A very fitting color for the retro look. It's epoxy-based, too, so it ain't gonna flake off.:D

 

[MONKEYMOUSE]

I guess somebudy did post that befor me!! you did, LOL :moon:

A while back a friend of mine had a sweet looking '98 YZ400F. He stripped it down and had the frame powder coated black. Then he slapped on the "Hurricane" kit. The bike already had a natural colored IMS 3.5 gallon tank, and Cycra Pro-Bend handguards. Pretty nice looking ride.
