Got her running today. Nothing changed but sounds a bit crisper to me!

whats the problem with them?

Well , my bikes still in bits but im entered in the festival of power and big bang at the pod. sold some bits to pay for entry fees , looking like a 1 man team so grabbing help at each round where I can. Bike has had the crankshaft refreshed by sep, my cams were worn badly but got a decent looking set from kevin marshal for nowt. thanks Kev . Engine back in tomorrow so hopefully get it running this weekend.

Time to make a start on this lot.

The vance and hines drag pipe has been replaced by an unknown big bore spider pipe. It is for sale !

they are not even k and n , cheap shite , just thought they filtered the crap out !

nice bike mate, even nicer stickers!

got mine too , they are shit hot.

My first real go at proper drag racing last year in the et bike series. 4 rounds at scr and 4 at the Pod. A great variety of bikes and a nice bunch of people and got hammered at every event. My times were around the 10.7 mark which I could hit fairly consistently. The entries were the highest out of all the bike classes at most events . I managed to sneak my way into the final at a couple of events at the Pod but finished runner up twice. My consistency gave me 2nd overall in the SPRC . I only lost out in the final of the final round to Wayne Bradley on his bmw due to a dodgy red light, I know I never rolled back! A win in that final would have given me the championship. Not bad for my first year.

Had a few runs with eblag slick , 2 step and lock up clutch , bars were from a reputable old skooler , thanks clive. managed 9.8 at 145 and will go back to this set up , maybe next year. Fancy a turbo over next winter! Them bits all removed now so I can do some consistent slower times in the et bike championship. Daughter and as was junior sprinter son in the background.

wow , that is a beauty.

Yes , I sold the et chassis to loopie , thats what skint does to you. Transplanted the engine into the Kat and carried on sprinting for a while.

after sprinting with the NSA for a while I saw this for sale on the old OSS site , so a day trip to leeds was on.

Thought I would bore you a bit with a brief history of my bike , where the bits come from etc. The engine came from a tired gsx1100et I got from Birmingham on Eblag for £400 in 2011 ish, he had a Kat too so may be on here? I 1170`d it , got a flowed head from Eblag for £200 , long swinger from Eblag , won kit from........... the theme is Eblag here. and managed 9.91 which I was happy with,

I have a face to forget minx , so often keep a low profile.

Thanks for letting me in!

nice looking bike , where will you be racing it?

Clutch play is apparently normal for these , Got an air shifter fitted and now working , knocked a second off his 1/4 mile time , now 15.0 seconds at 85mph , not bad!

Hi again , just fitting heavier clutch springs to the rg125 and noticed 4mm or so of rotation between basket and the helical gear , I guess it should be riveted solid if anything like any clutch I have played with in the past? the rivets are not moving from the outside so maybe the basket has worn slots so the rivets move round?

That was a bargain mate , been looking for a mark 1 . looks in good shape too, jealous !

Welcome to the site , very nice Kat you have there.

looking to get the swinging arm lengthened , its quite small at 40mm x 25mm , would just welding in a section be strong enough or should it be reinforced with a inner or outer sleeve?
