Unfortunately I can’t make it sorry fellas. the baby is bigger than expected and there’s a good chance it’s gonna have to come early. More appointments Saturday hope you have a great weekend!

Hopefully I’ll be good to come along to this. It’s quite close to baby d day sp pencil me down

Me and the EFE

That’s worked a treat Clive! I like the way it tucks under the tank.

I’m up for this Paul sounds like a good weekend.

Oh dang it. Thought I was onto summit! @clivegtothe stem on this is much longer about 273mm but it has had an extension piece welded in the middle. and it’s definitely a good 30.5 diameter at the bottom where I hadn’t pressed it in all the way that .4 of a millimetre is enough for the (gsxr) stem to drop out. and still baffled why it wasn’t long enough at 256mm.

Fack n’ ell!

So I’ve done a lot of sitting and researching and drinking..and then staring again the next evening. I think the 750l/m is an anomaly. the lock stops are in a different place on the bottom yoke, the are at the back side of the yoke opposed to all others I find are at the front or a single one at the front. (I cut them off mine) So maybe the stem is slightly different too. I measured the bottom of the stem that came out and it’s 30.5mm (larger than 30.25 @Gsxrsamkindly posted above) I have exactly the same forks on the turbo slingy which is also a j/k frame. Anyone got a 750 L/M stem they could measure, lend or sell? pic of my extensive research..

Spent the last few days reading this build @clivegto absolutely loved it! Every aspect so we’ll thought out and worked to perfection. looking forward to reading your next one

I’ll drop you a message after with a pic of the bandit stem. I’d call it functional, but it does look like 2 welded together would be interested in trade though yes

Maybe it’s not a slingy one then

Does anyone know if they differ j/k to l/m I have these l/m forks which were on a blandit, decided they are going towards a ‘make a bike from spares’ project, found a gsxr stem..or so I thought to swap out the bandit one, went to work to use the press to swap em, gets home to fit and there isn’t enough length to get the top nut on. j/k frame, are they deeper headstock that the later l/m?

Cake! upside down cake apparently

Changed my mind now, booked spectator tickets for USB now hopefully bring the turbo along for a rwyb try.

I’ll book it off work

Looking good man. Looking forward to seeing it all back together mate.

Anglesey is pretty close to me, plus I can get digs up there with family so I’ll probs go there with @fatblokeonbandit keen to get to USBs other dates though.

Where did you order rods from? I can’t find any in stock anywhere online.

Does it add value if you snap a snap on extractor piece in there Give up on this one for now.

Is it common for these little bastards to snap when torquing them up, or am I just unlucky? this is the second time I’ve had it happen, luckily first time it wound out with the broken head. Tonight, no such luck. I know they are only 10nm setting, though I read somewhere that wet and dry torques are completely different, anyone heard this before?

I’ll be there if I can.

real good weekend. Cheers guys! Look forward to the next one.

I got thumbs up off the gaffer this morning

I’d be game if I can get the weekend off work could bring my turbo slingy or blandit 11
