I've ridden both back in the day and agree with @Rene EFE slabbies are the best if you can fit in them! Loads of adjustments that you can make to bring them up to date or as I have keep it old skool with refreshed suspension and new rubber

Same here we are locals and I'm available Friday if required

Just wanted to show my support and get a lap or 2 with similar minded folk,might even dig out my Arai Wes Cooley for the occasion...oh just remembered all the lining has vaporised and its been on the shelf in the garage since the late 90's

I think this is a good problem to have but fair dues,I can bring beer instead of cake or do I need to join the VJMC....insert other motorcycle clubs here

Thanks YJ nice to know someone cares I went for the got too excited... Discount what discount...will just have to ride slower than my usual tortoise pace to make up the loss by saving fuel to compensate Im starting in the superbike group and will work my way towards novice after each session

I can bring my slabbie to if it's needed I'm also only down the road, if we need a cake stockpile! I'll pm my details to @Harry74

Sounds sensible otherwise it will be..... did 1 lap, it all came back to me...in the bales lap 2 off to med centre wristband cut-off...bike dead....speaking from experience To go fast at first you must go slow...this is what I keep telling myself

I did, just cleaned up in parts washer when they were off the bike,then a bit of elbow grease to clean the road salt damage and a waft over with lacquer.

Fitted and finished...for now

Before and after pics

Do you mean Powerhouse? If so I used them last year,it was cheaper than buying all the parts/paint and doing it myself so would recommend, top job matched the gold paint perfectly even polished my existing bolts up rather than replacing them and losing some originality. Stuck them back on, replaced the brake lines and now have brand new circa "87 brakes again!

Are you telling me drilling isn't the answer........

Drill everything else,remember the old saying less weight more speed

Oh well no discount or double bubble I should have read the rest of the posts first

Cancelled work booked on track for Sunday

I'll be there for the parade laps on the Saturday, will ride there early Saturday but can't stay for the glamping as I've got work on the Sunday

Good luck with the build still got 18" in mine using Avon road riders grip is good enough on road/track but 17" slingshot wheels have less flex and better tyre options at least in the UK presume the same applies in NZ

Found the discs checked with a micrometer and they only have 4 mm left on them Do you want me to send some pics or are they too low for you? If you do PM me your email and I can send some pics for you to decide if you want them or not

Not bought any for a fair few years they're having a laugh at that price! Your Google search option sounds cheaper

RS Bike Paints used to sell a colour match as far as I can remember

Agree with tabby59 seen a few 87H sliders on eblag, I may have some in my spares will check, not sure if they are F or H ones, if they are H's I will let you know

Thanks for the detail tabby59,much appreciated,cheers

I will dig them out for you I think they are on a loose wheel in the back of my shed I'm doing the reverse finished my slabbie last June now starting Rgv it's a VJ21 in black and silver Once I have the discs out will send pics of them to see if they are what you want

Thanks for all the responses so far, now I have a few more options to look into

Cheers for that
