My Slabby’s up in 2027, but I think I’ll still go for an MOT, It’s only failed once & that was years ago, I think I know what I’m doing, (ish), but I would still like a fresh pair of eyes to look over it, once a year. I know what I’m like, as well.

Fecking hell Dezza, that's great. That link works a treat. I didn't see it at first, don't know how & I've been googling Kojaks cat. Tell you, take your life in your hands out there. You don't know which COPs I could use do you ? Cheers man

I’ve also been thinking about the COP change, supposed to give good spark, don’t get wet & sorts that snake’s wedding under the tank, but where do you get the harness plugs from ?

What Tony Nitrous says. Quadlock for me

Man that’s sweet

Hi Carlinmidarlin count me in too if your thinking about making a few

Hi SlabsideB12kent, Sorry I never got to the conclusion of my story. Same as you, I found one from a place called Henderson Bearings. It to had the worrying 12mm size. I searched around for ages to find a 13mm one & couldn’t. I to was going to shim it then noticed how baggy the original fit was & thought feck it, if the original one hadn’t moved in 35 years, this one probably wouldn’t either. It’s done 2 & 1/2 thousand miles so far & not fell off yet & the ride feels fecking lush. I changed all the bearings & bushes at the same time, cost a bomb but looking at them I think they were all original. To my shame, it was the first time I took the swing arm off & the ‘grease’ had turned to mud Here’s the place & the bearing Here’s what’s left of the swing arm bearings & bushes. As before, sorry for being a slack arse. Gixer1460 , thanks for your find, I think the grease hole bearing looks like a winner.

These guys do some, https://accbilletengineering.co.za/product/suzuki-gsxr-slingshot-radial-caliper-mounting-bracket-set/ Don’t know if they make any difference, but they do open up a world of callipers

Did you go blind for a bit after your first glance ? They are mega-bright. Fantastic build clivegto !

Cheers Tony

Cheers Mean, I was lining my ducks up & came across the no bearing thing. I’ve not took it off yet & at that price I thought someone might have done the spade work Askamask, top effort mate, thanks

Help needed. I am trying to replace the bearings in the cushion lever on my 1100 H. However, Robinson's says that the front bearing (the one with the red arrow) is no longer available, please see picture below. My question is; is this a weird Japanese bearing or is it a standard size, easily obtainable from any good bearing supplier. Or put it another way; Can I smash it out & replace it with locally sourced one ? Or Do I have to leave it alone & just gently caress it with a well lubricated digit ? Ps, even if it is available, 83.00 quid Regards Nelson

What Clivegto said. I wanted the ’proper’ analog clocks you get on Slabbies However . . . . . . .

@Captain ChaosI had, had a look at the charging mod thing in the past & none of our wiring is getting any younger, but I figured nah, feck it, more horse horses / better handling, etc. No disrespect, just not sexy enough. However, there's nothing sexy about bump starting a fecking heavy motorcycle, in 32 degree heat, in full gear, on a narrow solid white line system, country lane. Suzuki say, So I'm 0.3 above what they 'think'. The garage is like something from 'Cool-hand Luke, night in the box', see previous sentence about pushing. So the meter says. Ignition on, bike not running Battery terminal 12.7v Red wire at connector block 12.7v Orange wire at connector block 12.65v Ignition & lights on, byke not running Battery terminal 12.0v Red wire at terminal 12.0v Orange wire at terminal block 11.76v The 14.8v could be cause the wiring loses 0.3v going around the wires, 14.5 plus the 0.3, etc. I'll do the mod thing & post it up .

@Captain Chaos, it is a bit on the high side. It’s in the unofficial 14 to 15 volt range, the dudes at Suzuki give a top value of 14.5. I’ll power up the meter & let you know what’s what.
