    I run the EMGO mirrors on my 91/92 750. Collectors and restorers have made originals stupid expensive. They work well enough.

    What's stupid prices? And I guess some models are harder to find than others. As in this post

  3. What's the mount centres your looking for??

    Wrong spacing for a J. 750 J/K/L and 1100 K/L have wider spaced mounting bolts.

    The ones in the link look similar to M/N style mirrors which have narrower mounting spacing.

    Home made, a mate who is a bike dealer has it for sale. I nearly bought it. 

    Yea did see it forsale. Guess you know the gsx he has aswell?

  5. Bit of a curiosity question hear. Mainly aimed at slingy framed turbo bikes.

    What sort of wheel bases are people running. To not upset the handling or improve the handling on there boosted bikes.

    My slingy build currently sits at 140cm spindle to spindle. Rear block is roughly at the centre of its adjustment point.

    I've not been active in the project section for ages. But will be very soon. Just been collecting parts etc

  6. So it turns out that the FPR stuck open. And was not doing its job properly. That and the split pipe.

    So pyro is lives again. 

    Few bits to button up chain etc and tidy a few bits. Then going to the dyno to check everything is all good.

    If the float bowls are not getting dynamic boost pressure the increased fuel pressure will certainly over pressure the float valves leading to flooding!

    Sound. I never noticed the split it the vent pipe. I have redone all of it now so fingers crossed it's sorted.

  8. Hi all. Quick question.

    I've been rebuilding pyro. And I'm having a few issues. 

    The engine keeps flooding. Now I never noticed that the float vent pipes into the up pipe had a split in. Would this have been the cause of the problem. Catbs are good clean and fresh etc..

    I don't really want to put decent oil in yet. If there could be something else I've missed.

    Any thoughts boost junkies

    Also a big thanks to everyone who has had input in this rebuild. And sorry if I've come across a little shitty.
