    A bit of clag moved into one of the carbs after the fuel system being disturbed 

    That's what I'm thinking, those barbs in the connectors rip the fook out of the inside of the pipes even when been careful.

  2. Wasn't happy with the internal diameter of the barb fitting for the end of the fuel pump as its only 5mm so I ordered a An6 fitting yesterday from Tourqes UK which arrived today. IMG_20240323_163004.thumb.jpg.db6720e9f5fe6bcb576dca4a6c855052.jpg IMG_20240323_163218.thumb.jpg.ba94c63e5b7a0f84284835d84d90dcc6.jpg

  3. That nice man @Gsxrsamgave me a cut down lock-up clutch extension and a FBM cover for it so I set about making it fit a clutch cover. There ain't a lot of room between the clutch and the frame but it should be doable. IMG_20240323_125528.thumb.jpg.55037e3fc96c05fdbf821d80962f04e2.jpg IMG_20240323_131821.thumb.jpg.e09201c6682d9180209d9e72d6031574.jpg IMG_20240323_122446.thumb.jpg.c698b5492b80fa1882b650336a84ca80.jpg IMG_20240323_122841.thumb.jpg.a6f3a5ef3bfb0474c62c851cf97b5118.jpg IMG_20240323_125534.thumb.jpg.a686dab25b4975a3782ac12fe4e36040.jpg IMG_20240323_125735.thumb.jpg.3f9074a2ca15f175c846c81c8704c4d8.jpg IMG_20240323_125826.thumb.jpg.ee35c5df836a6d074a952705301ce35f.jpg

    Sad times @clivegto, the need to put your powerful engine in a frame that handled went away with the race reps of the late 80's and 90's the desire to do so is only held by a few die hards 

    Indeed.

    hope so as with the demise of spondon bespoke frame makers are a rare breed ....

     

    And Harris the last F1 frame kit was finished last week :(

  6. Spent about 3 hours in the man's workshop he is a very talented and passionate about what he does and he enjoys his work which is quite unusual to see nowadays. Makes everything himself. Was a pleasure to meet and chat with him. 

  7. I put the swingarm back in made some wheel spacers to centre the zx10r Dymag back wheel. Took it with me to Etto's when I picked the aluminium GS tank up to discuss the swingarm arm. He would make me another but it would be very expensive and he is booked up with work until next summer, so coming back to the idea of doing it myself. IMG_20240316_172253.thumb.jpg.ee76f6773ef28e7b33ac339cb1f57793.jpg IMG_20240316_172233.thumb.jpg.f66c1e8309f25290ef1fe299198b3e75.jpg  IMG_20240316_172238.thumb.jpg.030d9b355141d1e5fd6251223b8d0433.jpg
