You can get 25 mm back with this, so the K1/2 would be about 735/740 mm and that’s ok I’ve had several bandits with 740 mm forks.. obvioulsy you need to add a spacer to the top bit so the clamp has something to grip so it doesn’t strain the top part,,

K1/2 are way too short, 710/715 mm instead of 775mm as B12 standard, i fitted a set of K1 ones years ago and smashed the mudguard into the oil cooler when I braked really hard... slingshot the easiest like Tony said, but difficult to find now... Heres the chaep way to make a stepped yoke, weld 2 top ones togtehr, worked fine for years until I had a posh ( expensive ) one made..

Yes it went OK, still uncomfortable though, sorry didn't get to see you but had to shoot off lunch time shipmate ............ some nice stuff... This was in my group and the noise it made when it shot off was epic i like good brakes.............. and for once no bits fell off.....................

What a Hoot that was, Brian redeemed himself, had a right laugh... here's a vid of an old bloke on a 250 LC Turns out hes a bit of a classic racer,, Brilliant fun...

Camshafts and cylinder heads, depends how much power you want and how much money you have GSXR 750j/k cams drop in and give a good boost of power with a race can and decent air filter, if you can find them

They weren't restricted as such, that's all they were designed to make, 98HP, some of the European ones were restricted to 80 HP.. BUT its very very easy to up the HP, using GSXR parts.

It is indeed, but I think there might be a lot of old duffers out there on Saturday

well im 63 and Brian is 42 so 105 years in total. so I think that counts as Antique not Vintage,,

Yes my Mag 2 was the same, I built it so it looked, in my opinion, right. BUT the seat was too low and pegs too high, i could only manage about 20 minute It was one of the reasons I sold it.. I haven't been able to use clip-ons for donkeys years, even when I raced my TL1000, 20 years ago, I had to put high bars on it, which also made it much more fun Gratuitous TL pictures as its a quiet bank holiday I must apologise for the leathers , they were very cheap

Good luck i was on the reserve list and only space that turned up,is in the vintage class

But dose have carb heaters

Which group are you in shipmate

Oi, you calling me fat!!!!!!!!!! But yes its a pain for us normal sized chaps, my legs are too long and my arse tooo large. these special framed things are all built for children sized people, my magnum was the same You coming to Coombe this year Fletch??

So Brian is ready for his first outing since September last year, Castle Coombe again, Classic bike track day, I'm in the VMCC group don't know if that's the bike or me!!!!! Anyway, stopped all the electricity escaping buy fitting new earth connector and all it well, apart from my hips, its so uncomfortable for my dodgy hip bone, only did 5 miles and it was agony had a look at raising the seat or lowering the Starboard side foot peg, but I don't think I can, and keep it looking half decent.!! Im just a bit worried that i wont be able to ride the Bleedin' thing due to my hip! Getting old is shite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its ages since i did a B6/12 conversion, and cant remember if i used the B6 CDI as it came with the loom or the 1200 didn't physically fit, I just fitted the lot and it all plugged together.. Best buy a 600 loom with CDI attached, or just get the 600 loom and try the 1200 cdi, if the plugs fit it will work

You can use a B600 loom and cdi, it all plugs together, the only difference is the red line, it’s higher on the 600….

Would have been better off with a canoe than a motorbike,,!!! once the rain soaked through to my pants I gave up and went home, oh well can’t do anything about the weather……. Bandit went well as we all tip toed round, now I need to get Brian sorted for the 15 as I’m doing classic bike one at Combe….. found a dodgey earth plug which is where the leccy is escaping

Anybody else taking part..

So spent today getting Brian running, started off on 3 so cleaned carbs and nicked plugs from teapot.. Better fitted my universal number plate and put my hat on pulled away and it stopped dead no electricity, arse!!!!! fuse blown , spent the next 2 hours not finding the short or wheee the electricity is leaking out of the wire !!!! as the track day is Wednesday I gave up and dragged the bandit out, found the battery in the airing cupboard! and fired it, as usual It works just fine, so bandit it is then

Found one looks a bit used but will do a turn

Yup B6 one, I’ll look in the morning

ill have to look tomorrow shipmate

so you need a 26 tooth gear i reckon!!

what size have you got?????
