  1. Well it's fitted to fatblokeonbandit latest project his gsx750f , he was told by a forum member that it came from a gsxr slingy of one yr or another but iv'e checked all of em and i just can't identify it,   It's very similar to early kwak zxr's but isn't one of those either.

    whip the plugs out and see if it spins really fats then:tu

    thats  the thing to try , engine runs well and did couple of track days no problem lifts the wheel in 2nd gear if your a bit heavy handed without clutching it up ! so wouldnt be surprised to find its played with a bit .

  3. I may have done something similar :$ left bike for a few days, struck it up and it poured bout gallon of petrol out top breather it was running for about 30 secs like this whilst by brain was trying to work out what it was seeing :( changed the oil thrashed the tits of it, its all good (y)

    I've got a lathe and a press, if you want to send both yokes  over  here I'll have a look see if it's doable??:tu

    All iv'e got is imagination and a selection of hammers , 

    Im off work  for a few days over xmas so im gonna look at all ideas inc maybe using the gsx750f font wheel and swapping out the bearings to suit zx spindle , but then im sure im gonna have disc issues as zx are 300mm and t'pot's 290 + dont know what will happen to caliper spacing either .

    But thats a very kind offer and i may well take you up on it (y)

  5. Yup the zx forks are 41mm  but upon fitting them ,then trying to fit wheel disc's are actually hitting fork legs as the T'pot yokes are much narrower , hence needing to fit zx yokes, 

    The bottom of the T'pot stem is a good 10mm wider so dont know how to make that fit ?

    I was intending to use the zx wheel to make life easier 

  6. Im gonna replace the  yokes on my gsx600f with some from a 1996 zx6r ,  problems are stem is too short, lower  bearings have different id and od and bottoms of stems are totally different so switching stems is not possible ,  what my limited brain power has come up with is a cut and shut on stem to lengthen it and is it possible to get custom made bearings ?

    Am i heading in the right direction ?
