  1. Had the first ride out for a while at the weekend for the mot, about 20 miles each way. Feeling more planted with the new rear shock and freshly serviced forks, very happy....oh, and the yoshi cyclone sounds beautiful :pimp:

  2. xD

    Will give one a try cheers :tu

    It's a static test prior to getting out on track at a higher rpm for 750's than an 1100... I struggled to get through with the slabby a couple of years ago, no sticker no track time, team oss came to the rescue though 

  3. I've got a yoshi cyclone end can now fitted on the 750 slingshot engine in my moto martin and wondered if anyone has successfully fitted a db killer to a similar system (50mm outlet). 

    I need to get down to 105db for the classic track day at Cadwell Park...

  4. Little update....found a good second hand penske rear shock off an R1. 305mm between centres with the added bonus of having a little +/- length adjustment....

    Don’t waist your time and money on others just ring Richard at Maxton he will sort it out forks and shock at sensible money for up to date cartridges and shocks for your old skool bikes mate you can even take your bike to him to set up if you wanted

    Couldn't agree more with Maxton for quality......cost is out of my range at the mo. although I know its reasonable in the grand scheme of things.

    Useful thread here talking about what can be done with slabside forks for little cost.....

  7. I've recently been looking for a trail bike for commuting and a spot of weekend green lane riding and happened on this cosmetically challenged 1986 ts250x (also known as the rh250) . Having bought it I then find out parts are a wee bit scarce so the plan is to get it running sweet and return it to the yellow and blue livery with a combination of ts, dr and rm parts...last picture for reference....

  8. Have fitted a dynojet stage 3 jet kit on my gr77a engine with the 36mm carbs running pipercross dual foam filters and vance & hines headers but am still struggling to get it running sweet....has anyone got any experience and tips with a similar set up?

    This is a nice bike and a pretty unusual chassis. Do you still have the Spondon discs that were on it previously but now are not? Someone on here was looking for some a little while back as they were asking me if I knew of the whereabouts of any.

    Cheers dezza....yes I still have the Spondon discs although they are zxr fitment, same as some marvic wheels I have too (very slightly different bolt pcd to slingshot but same overall diameter) 

  10. she's now up and running, will road test on the way to mot later this week.......with abit of luck.....

    will be fitting a bikini fairing at some point but no time to do a nice paint job yet....

    booked in for the track day at Donington in a couple of weeks, am sure it will out perform my skills!
