What ever happened to filling the pits with superglue/jb weld and wet sanding it smooth

Late one, this is narrower and apparantly what's needed. No line casting This one is earlier and had the cast line. These are wider and I believe need narrowing. 560mm long, not sure what slabbie arms are? But I think you will be extending the wheelbase a bit.

I believe you want the later vfr750. Some folk don't mention the years. You want the one without the line casting. Ill try and find pics to show what i mean

That first pic made me wince!

Great, thanks. Appreciate the help

Oh well, never mind. I've committed to this one now. It was cheap enough.

It's ok, I just bought a k3 frame on Eblag this evening! I figured with a frame in front of me, I can make a jig too.

Bike looks ace! Can I ask how you have the headlights set up. You said one for low beam, one for high. But the lense for low beam won't dip will it? Did the tester care? Not really sure what the deal is legally, but am wanting to fit something similar to yours.

It will be close enough, thanks. No huge rush though, probably won't be working on that area till the weekend.

Someone must own a slingshot and a tape measure!

Not specific to this bike/engine, but saying it's not been run in yet means nothing. By that i mean it changes nothing. It should sound, run, and operate perfectly. It just means you may need to take it a little easy for a while, but personally I'd just ride it normally. What I'm getting at is, be wary if the seller makes any excuses for the engine due to it not being run in. And noise and he says 'it's not run it', be wary. Any smoke and he says 'it's not run in', be wary. New rings in fresh bore, and the lube from assembly, will smoke when first run but if it's done a few miles it should be bedding in enough not to smoke.

Should have measured this before taking things apart, but can anyone tell me the height of the center of the swingarm pivot bolt, on a 750 slingshot (1990, but they are probably all the same) When sat on both wheels, but without the riders weight. Thanks.

Thanks

I think they are. I've seen frames advertised as k3/k4. Not sure how easy it will be to measure on a complete bike, but even a bit of a stab at it with a guesstimate at the accuracy of the numbers would help. It all let's me know if I'm even close. Thanks.

I'm not sure I can be a part of what you all get up to, but if it ends up with some usable measurements, then you can all do whatever you wish within the privacy of your own garages
