I think the TZ350f seat is a similar shape to the one you have, only smaller. Have you thought about an old style ali hump ?

You can do this and use a l/h switch that includes a lights on/off.

You're welcome to come and have a look sometime, just drop me PM.

If you'd only kept all the bits you've changed you'd have at least 2 bikes now.

That looks cool. They're a big old bus up against newer stuff but that's half the fun when they can't shake you off or having to work to keep up.

I had a team mate attach a camera with audio to my helmet for a race, the audio came out shite apart from one bit crystal clear, "get out the f**king way you twat !!!". The rider in question was sat next to me at the first showing that evening.

Boy do I remember that scenario, more than once I've found myself sliding up the track on my butt then playing hopscotch trying to avoid getting mown down by the pack. My race bike was so good in the rain you really only had to be smooth and operate the controls while others fell off but still I'd make the old "ambition/ability mistake". One racer even confessed to crashing because he was laughing at me already cursing as I shot up the road minus bike.

All racing is a peculiar thing in that you put time and money into spending less time doing it. Very strange.

I seem to remember a say about " You can't win a race on the first lap but you can lose one " A very novice mistake from an experienced racer.

They're called "collets".

Pedantic persistence pays off in the end. Better than a "that'll do" attitude. Well done.

Nice but I'm sorry, that fairing bracket needs sorting. Ruins it.

I think that head and piston is,what is know as, "Fooooooked".

I think your best option may be to find or make some new inlet manifolds that drop the carbs and maybe move them forward a little.

Any chance somebody could post up the actual diagram rather than a link ? Can't access the link without signing up to the hosting forum. Ta.

What's the little plate with 4 bolts in behind the basket for ?

Yes you're right on that. I was just checking the book again after reading Blue's post in "Projects" and going to post a correction. OOOOPS.

Waaay too much oil ?

Mikuni BST38ss. Id number starts 17. If you give me the next 2 digits I can tell you if they are UK.

It certainly can. A badly fitted brace can easily pull the forks enough to cause problems. Try undo the clamps a little and give it another bounce.

I can tell you the sizes for the WP/ WR (from the factory manual ), 135 min, 35 pilot. Anything else you need while I've got the book out ?

But don't space it so far that it comes off the centre spigot/boss.

Could anybody tell me what size the clutch m/cylinder is on a GSXR1100 w/c please ? Ta very much.

Because he'd be halfway to Australia after the first burnout.

I think I prefer the red.I'm not sure about the big seat or the rack though.
