[slabby fairings question]

The 1100 mid fairing is slightly different and has 2 bolts on the diagonal instead of 3. However if you use a 750 top fairing with 750 mid panels there won't be a problem

At 25000 miles I'd consider a top end rebuild, cheaper in the long run.Make sure your powervalve cables are adjusted properly and the motor will sing (no money 20 minutes). Though for longevity I'd invest i n uprated  powervalves, mine broke but didn't take the piston out, but I've seen those that have.

[Rust in tank]

Soap works quite well on pinholes, reacts with the petrol to form a hard substance. Also hammerite rust dip is quite good

[Brake hose]

Well I had a look last night and you can buy hoses and banjos for a fraction of the price of "bespoke" ones. Though  if can someone post a how to, as gixer1460 describes, I'd be obliged. Couldn't find anything on the net but I do have a vise and a dremel (clone). If nothing else this thread has saved me some cash (looking at the pile of crocks in my garage)

[Brake hose]

Thanks for that, I like the idea of making my own. I thought I'd need a specialised swager

[Brake hose]

Any recommendations for someone to make up some brake hose, braided by preference. Hose is an odd length

 

thanks

[OEM Slabbie Mirrors - repairable?]

I had the same problem but couldn't  make a permanent fix. I did cut a slot in a washer and jammed that into the pivot point, but it was never right

[SRAD fouling plugs jets?]

Thanks for that, i know the main jets are oversize. Time for a rebuild kit.

That x7 is identical to the one I had. Wish someone had told me about jetting at the time

[slabby 750 engine rebuild]

I might be slightly mad but I've decided to rebuild my slabby motor  rather than dropping an 1100/1200 in.

Now I think I can source most of the parts off the net, but can anyone recommend a good crank recon service?

Also reasonably priced discs and an exhaust are hard to find any suggestions?

In fact any recommendations for parts in general?

thanks

[SRAD fouling plugs jets?]

What's the standard jet size for a 96 SRAD? I know the bike was jetted rich and it's fouling it's plugs so I'll start there

thanks

[Rgv 250]

Fantastic bike. I used to race one. Swoped it for a Yosh race system for my SRAD big mistake should have kept it

 

 

[Slabbie frame bracing. Yes or No]

In reply to the question yes brace it. For what it s worth, I was offered a braced frame a few years ago. It had a bit of crpssbracing but the headstock was heavily plated.
