There’s Earlystocks as well problem with both clubs is they don’t like non period mods or post cut off date changes, can’t remember which but they don’t allow tyre warmers or wets so you end up with 17” Road based tyres or original 18” slabby wheels running conti classic race tyres which are pretty good.
I’m building a slabby race bike and with the mods I’m planning already make it hard to find a club to race with FPR have a classic super bike class but you’ll be running a slabby 771 against ZXR and YZF big bore engines, as already stated best bet is to contact CRMC to find out more, when I tried they didn’t like the fact that my VM29 were bored to 33mm or I was running RWU 2000 era GSXR forks,you could not tell them but if you start winning folk will soon start whinging

If someone can't tell you I often use this for part number checking when I take the gamble on eblag buys
Don't know about body work but some 750 bits do fit the 1100 as I used the under tray and rear light set up from a 750 slingy on my 1100k recently

Its a bit bonkers I looked into it with other clubs and they say oh you can run period 17" wheels but can't run anything bigger than a 160 rear tyre....
Can't bore out original carbs to 34mm or run RS flatties which these days are cheaper than 1980's VM29's its nuts.
FPR are the right club to run with and CRMC are great as long as they will accept the bike mods, think what you're planning to do makes sense but it shouldn't be that hard to go racing.
Standard non radial brakes are fine as long they've been refreshed(new seals,pistons,lines and decent race brake fluid) I could outbrake modern sports bikes on track days no probs with them on my old Blandit race bike with dual carbon pads and a fartblade master cylinder, my lad ran the same in an old 600 steeley he came 3rd at Castle Combe in FP3 on it a few years back
You'll just have to recalibrate your brain if you've been racing with the 600 axe murderers

@Hacksawmadwill CRMC let you run non period mods as they can be a wee bit strict in my experience or is it a new class?
Only asking as when I was looking at classes for my slabby race bike they were funny about non stock RS flat slides and wheels that were from much newer non era bikes, hopefully they have seen sense or made a class for the likes of us

@Simbec1863are you still racing with the FPR club? and are the grids well supported in the FP3 class I was thinking of putting a 750wn together
Not raced since 2021 for health reasons but still in touch with FPR as they run at NG race meets the grids are often mixed FP1 FP3 street stock 1300 and SOT due to low entry numbers sometimes only a handful of FP3 bikes mainly YZF and ZX7r
Great club to race with mind if you’re looking at putting a bike together
The slabby I was building would have been spanked by the other FP3 bikes due to age and power and I think the YZF ZX7 can run up to 861cc on original barrels allegedly
Link to FPR website Keith who runs it is a top bloke best club I’ve raced with and I’ve run with a few

Life sometimes throws you a curve ball so the smoker hasn't moved out of the shed since July 22, rolled it out the other day to be greeted by a family of spiders, fortunately no mice....flat tyres, flat battery and manky fuel.Had to take the calipers off to move it as the brakes were seized on to.
I've retired from riding on the road so the options are sell it or do a few track days a year which is the only option as the tax and mot have long expired and there are no plans to renew them other than for a new owner...So for now she'll stay and I've booked the annual Big bang , now renamed a 2T day as lots of fat old blokes like me were crashing their pride and joys, one even ended up being helicoptered to hospital last time out....
. The new mantra is spirited riding is fine but no riding like a dickhead.
It's not until July so there's time to sort it... fit the 17" rear wheel and all the other bits I never got round to doing before my break from bikes.
Proof it came outside for some fresh air

That's the great thing about them, you can make them handle/stop/go better and still chuck your Mrs and a tent on the back for a tour round Europe (Brexit, ferry strikes, plague permitting).
One of my mates still races one that he rides to the pub on with his missus on a daytime mot,he just leans it up against the wall or available fence

Saved more than £75 quid with my ACU discount

in Oil Cooled
Posted · Edited by Simbec1863
Not sure about M and N but K and L are the same as I bought a repair kit labelled K and L which fitted my K tap this might narrow it down a bit K and L fuel tap o rings are the same part number across all 4 models not sure if the taps are or not
