A few bits arrived through the post, donor swing-arm that I’ll use the brace off and the billet adjusters, r1 spindle,blue spot and hanger so it should all work ok with a GSXR 600 wheel.
Gives me better tyre options for next season as I’ve changed my mind about running the old slabby flexi 18” wheels

If you read the thread my posts are about the sad loss of Gav from GIA only.I have no experience or opinion either +ve or -ve on Martek, other folk seem to have personal knowledge and experience as you do.
I personally love projects and look forward to seeing your Schwantz rep in the projects section perhaps OSS isn’t for you,I hope not but it can be sarcastic and tough at times, but well worth sticking around…off to bed now as it’s late in Denmark

Good thing about opinions we all have one…normally based on folks own experiences, it’s a good forum is this not an arsebook page.
Did you RTFR……or just join to wind folk up with your witty banter
There are some smart and creative people on here
I don’t include myself in that description.
Welcome to OSS by the way
from Gonzo , more interested in what project you have than whether we do or don’t like how someone runs their business, we should all agree to disagree we like pics by the way -

They probably are at least I can confirm my old 600 blandit race bike was the same nut as on my old 1052 and my 1127 as I nicked it last season.They were about a tenner from Suzuki

ACU standard is lever guards brake side only to prevent brake being applied due to collision with other rider normally designed to snap during this process but stop brake locking on
Folding or pre cut levers allow bike to crash without doing much harm ie bike digging in, always carry spare levers and an easy fix, ask me how I know
I think brake lever guards can be seen in earlier photos on this page-

Hope your health issue is not too serious mate, hope to catch up with you at Donington. Tell me more about your frame bracing plans ? Picture is the Turbo Scratchers NWS frame.
Nothing too bad mate just my malfunctioning ticker still not sorted
had a couple of procedures but not fixed yet and 1 more to go but the waiting list is 10 bloody months and I can’t do anything stressful like racing until they’ve sorted it.I’ll be at Donington for a catch up I’ll be having similar bracing to your NWS one plus a little bit on the upper frame plus swingarm mods to, something like this

Carbs cleaned and soda blasted, bores enlarged plus rubbers blended to match intakes. Now need to get a few new parts for the carbs,doesn’t seem to be a full rebuild kit available but Keyster does a Tornado kit direct from Japan only.I’ll look to see if it’s a better option than my 10% ACU discount from Suzuki.

A wee health issue has stopped my racing plans this year,on a waiting list to get fixed so lost my mojo with the race bike but thought I should get my finger out and do a bit in prep for next season.Having the frame strengthened and the swinging arm modified so needed to get it dismantled.Only took 2 hours from start to finish took longer to tidy up afterwards,bloody knackered now

Looks similar to the Team Classic Suzuki Blandit seat unit,think that was a copy of the RGV one.When I raced in the series I’m sure Highfibre supplied them

Not a lot of folk do down pipes for these bikes off the shelf,Delkevic do bandit systems so may do something if you only want link pipes and an end can give these boys a call https://a16roadnracesupplies.co.uk/product/exhaust/?model=gsxr-750-slingshot
they did me some link pipes and end cans for my 1100K

Found a site in uk called nrp-carbs which shows them available, but can't get them on phone which always raises my suspicion
I use NRP carbs regularly if its the same company based in Manchester UK?
They've always answered my emails and never let me down for rebuild kits

Bit more progress on the motor

Not much happening with this old girl but nipped out on the smoker today and after visiting 3 post offices managed to find someone who knew what they were doing.She’s now registered historic and zero tax paid,just need to sort a few jobs on her and she might be back on the road this summer
I’ll stick her in the queue with the other non running projects she’s number 3 on the list
