I run pit bike throttle. There about £15 for a billet assembly on Eblag. Work out at 3rd turn.

Hardly anyone does anyway sadly.

Robinsons offered a small discount if you mention OSS. Both are helpful I'm my experience. Suzuki quite often have special offers on gaskets and the like, offering parts at half price or less. Both dealers mentioned pass this on to customers.

What wrong with that? Damn those people selling rare and interesting parts to like minded individuals.

Hi Tony, sorry to hear about your dad, he had some cool bikes. He was a member on here, didnt post much. He was mostly trying to sell off trick bits he had. I think quite a few got scattered around the biking world. As has been said you need 50 posts to see the classified section. Its one of many stupid rules zealously applied on here. Some of the facebook groups may be a better place to start.

A mate was a dealer, worked better on some bike than others. Most people seem happy with them.

I bought a ducati monster tank a few years back, they have a big removable access plate on top that filler neck screws into. That plate had been removed and it had been sat for months like this, barely trace of fuel smell. Gave it to friend to pull the dentis out of the side and paint. He used one of those slide hammers that spot weld pins to the metal to pull on. He was welding a third pin on when it went woof. Took his fringe and put a groove up the middle of his curly locks. Only other injuries were a few chuckle muscle were pulled by his colleagues.

Saw the SP had gone to Iconic. Sorry to here Jake isn't well.

Far, far, longer than you would think. Flush it out thoroughly with a hose and some detergent. Do it a few times to be sure. Welded lots of tanks, had a few go up because I couldn't be arsed/ didn't have time to flush them out. Make sure the filler neck is open and pointing away from you or anything flammable. Dont try the second method.

13.5 pistons and dot head are bad Idea. You'll have a sky high CR, and no valve to piston clearance as the dot valves are longer and sit closer to the deck. Base gaskets and head gasket might make thing work, but you'll bugger up you squish height. This is bad. the dot cams are worth using if you are starting with a Bandit lump.

Another thumbs up for Maxton here. I've got hybrid gsxr1100k/rf900 forks with maxton internals in my Harris build. Great company to deal with. Not cheap but good value.

Have you measured your compression ratio? Or areyoujust quoting part specs?

Throw the screens away. Fit proper bell mouths and either run them open or proper filters. Cold starting, give the throttle 3 or for sharp full twists, so the accelerator pumps wet the inlet ports. Spin it over with no throttle then crack it open stightly as soon as it catches. might take a couple of attempts if it's really cold.

There was a bulletin years ago about it, but it's true that doesn't capture anything, boyond the week it's published.

You can still buy alloy -3 stuff for brake lines etc. They are supposed to be an mot failure though for that very reason. I certainly wouldn't use alloy fittings on a road vehicle.

The leaky fitting in the OP is a swivel type, which has an o-ring inside the swivel part. they do perish an fail. Not servicable really.

No need to get the arse because you can't work out what others have managed to figure for themselves. Forums are free info, treat them like you would anything else that is free. They are also about give and take. If you give a little, you may get little more back.

What do you pressurise it with? A foot pump?

Early r6 throttle tube will work in gsxr housing if you want to keep the switch gear. Cost less than £15 from Yamaha dealer. I run a £30 pit bike qa on my slabbie race bike.

Oh dear. I know someone with a project there. Been there 2years and not started, but now they're building bikes they haven't sold...I see they are making WP tanks themselves now. They've got some skills and kit there, but some people just arent business or customer orientated.

Could well be right.

Japanese market fj1200 had Brembos with that spacing iirc. But those arent Brembos on the bus.

First thing to do is assemble the linkage on your current set -up correctly. It's a faf, the Slabbie 750 and 1100 stuff looks the same, and bolts togelther, but they're all subtly different so not all combinations work, People have run 750 arms on 1100 and made it work extremely well, Manx gp bikes type well. I've only ran an 1100 arm on a 750 frame, and I wasn't really happy with it. See if some one has an 1100 arm would be my advice.
