    thanks for the pic - it is indeed an Egli clone / very close to one  - lovely in its simplicity :tu 

    There are several frame builders that used this central tube style. EGLI; RAU; Fischer; SEGONI; and many more home brew framebuilders

  2. That's why I'm asking.

    Tried yesterday one of an earlier R1, there the canister is on 90°, but it's a little bit shorter.

    It lowers the seathight about 50mm. So not good to use this one in a slabby.

    But there are later on versions of the R6 shock, where the canister is also on 90°.

    What length does your shock have? Is ist identical to the slabby shock?

    2005 ish r6 shock and spring works great on a slabbie. Don't need anything fancy.

    Is that the one you're talkin' about?

    Same length as slabby original? 

    Cheers

  4. Morning everybody,

    digged out the slabby of my wife, as she decided to do some miles with her bike, that she didn't touched for over a year.

    New year, old probs.

    Put some K&Ns on it and tried to do some rejetting, but never found the right jet size an needle position.

    Problem is, that the bike runs from start up to 6000 rpm nearly perfect, but then it feels like loosing power.

    What setups are you guys using on original carb with single K&N filters?

    Does anybody has some advice for me?

    Would like to safe the money for dyno runs, but would also like that my wife has fun riding her bike. Actual she's always grumbling.... :(

     

    Thanks in advance

    (y)

  5. So you try to import a german registered bike, get it road legal in Uk and than export it back to germany to have it also road legal?  Sounds like a plan,  but I don't think that it is possible. Because of the existing german registration you will have problems. 

    But keep me updated on this.

    Very nice project!! I wonder what happened to your draw through turbobike ?

    :$ still in my shed waiting for finishing it

    Not easy to get a turbo bike street legal here in germany, that's why I stoped workin' on it, but it's still there.
