Wilson Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 After working and fussing for most of the winter, my ‘85 Slabbie 750 is ready for the track. General cleanup, carbs rebuilt and cleaned, Twin Clicker Fox Shock and forks sent off to RaceTech for rebuild, re-spring and gold valve emulators. Finding 18” tires in Canada was the biggest hassle I had. Finally found some sticky Avon AM 22 and 23 tires in the States. I have left the engine untouched for now. The first couple rounds will decide if work needs to be done. My first race round of the season is May 11, 12. I can’t believe I’m mostly ready more than a month ahead! 13 Quote Link to comment

Wilson Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 Here is a pic of the ‘85 on the track. I completed three practice sessions and the clutch started to slip badly. New clutch pack and springs on the way. For those who still run 18” wheels I recommend Avon AM 22 and AM 23 tires. Great feel and quite sticky. 6 Quote Link to comment
