Right that's the old exhaust off 3 bolts snapped in the head so it's of to my friend in Weston so he can weld nuts on to try and get the remains of the bolt out

Okay got a friend coming over tomorrow to help with a bit of brut force and ignorance 1 and 4 bolts are out but 2 and 3 are fubarbed I think there suppose to be 13mm but there's so much corrosion there down to about 11 or 10mm if not it can fuel a good bbq yes I am getting to that point

Well what I thought was going to be a 5 minute job is now looking like a trip to my friendly mechanic after my accident back in September thought the exhaust was blowing found a crack in the collector. As its a micron system the down pipes are held into the collector by 4 springs so poped the springs of to swap the collector box over with a replacement I bought collector and down pipes are well and truly stuck so thought okay unbolt the system and take it off 1 and 2 cylinders bolts came out but 3 and 4 the bolt heads are that corroded that can't get a socket on there so it looks like a trip to the mechanic to get the heads drilled off and replacement installed plus stainless bolts put in and repair any damaged threads it doesn't rain it fucking pours winge over

looking at fitting a wilber shock for a 89-92 1100 to my 1990 750L my question is will it fit without any major alterations cheers martyn

on my replacement k&n filter it has a rubber restrictor on the filter it can be fitted 2 ways 1st for normal untunned engine and the second for a tuned engine

do the 4.5" and the 5.5" use the same sprocket carrier cheers martyn

okay is it worth saving the pennys and getting a nitron instead

i think the early ones do not have electronic adjusters

okay looking on that site and it sems that the later ones have a electronic sensor

looking at replacing the rear shock on the slingy with a bmw1000rr shock but what year 1000rr shocks actually fit the slingshot cheers martyn

okay just checked again and its definately l/m frame but the only snag is its a german import but with a age related h reg plate and v5

looking at a gsxr frame but its a import so not 100% on the year all i can find is maybe a l or m frame the frame number is gr7ad

i run avon storm 2's on my 750l but i use it day in day out for commuting in bristol not the most grippy tyre but fine for waht i use it for

ive got a old set of microns for a 750 at in the shed at home I can measurre them up if you want

i did mean for oil cooled had a look in the vault but couldnt find it i swear there was a reference sheet on the old site stating what engine cases are compatible

has anyone still got the reference sheet that was on the old site for what engine cases fit

those were the days i had a gt250a years ago

Just been on bike trader and printed a few off as evidence for prices there going for quite a bit fingers crossed I get what I'm hoping for

Managed to find a fairing frame but needs powder coating managed to find a mirror but it isn't the best just waiting for equity red star to contact me with a price fingers crossed

Sent you a pm

Just measured my old knackered mirror and the spacing is 52mm

I'll measure up my spare tomorrow and let you know

Are the spacing on the mirrors the same between the 750 and 1100

I'll be happy if the offer me 1200 as they have already asked if I want to keep the bike and I've already sourced most of the parts apart from right mirror and fairing frame

Yeah I know but I have all the paperwork to go with it the original sales receipt service book and all mots since new plus various receipts over the years
