Its worth speaking to @Funkymonkracingabout one of his billet knockles/linkage. That'll raise the arse end up without affecting the workings and ratios of the shock too much. A very worthwhile addition. He made a facetube video very recently that has been posted on here

Brian has a altered 750 setup by look of it bud. 

[fatblokeonbandit]

The linkage has thicker plates welded onto the bottom but the holes in the same place.????

 

anyway sorted the seat out an raised it by 1/2 an inch, its spot on now, and mounted the seat unit firmly, it looks a bit untidy at the back but ill sort that later, main thing is the seat is actually where i want it for my fat arse..

Need to loose 4 stone as well. well thats what Mrs ftabloke says!!!  Or mabey lose 1 stone?? or just wind the suspenders up a bit and buy bigger romper suit.

 

 

[TonyGee]

is that a grasstrack section as well Garry ? 

[fatblokeonbandit]

Yes i was trying a bit to hard to catch the triumph Daytona thing that went past me

Epic fun though, i saw the bloke after and he was of a similar age to me but 1/2 the size, and he said he could sense me coming so didnt turn in until i had flow by!!

if you look closely you can see the point where i was braking so hard the back end came up in the air so i had to let the brakes off and head for the grass...

[TonyGee]

looks like great fun

Always good to put your safety in the hands the the cheapest shite from China .....I like the cheap "noodle based" brake  pads on mine , I mena they are vegan but identify as asbestos so what could possibly go wrong ? 

 

 

Plate of HMS Gsxcester perchance ?

Never use the back brake so it doesn't matter how well it works, as long as it passes the brake test machine for the MOT

and the Suzuki one fitted don't work worth a fart anyway.

I'd have thought with your specific username you'd be making use of all brakes possibile to stop....................

Nowt wrong with being a little on the larger side. It's not weight, it's a highly sophisticated mass transfer and traction control system. 

[fatblokeonbandit]

I find its easier to make more power and improve the front brakes rather than go on a diet and give up pies.

 

And many years ago when i was racing i got used to riding up on my toes so never used he rear brake.

My new shiny wheels arrived this weekend, but i realised I didnt have any room to fit them as my garage is full of junk and bikes and stuff!!!!!!

so moved everything out and had a group photo

So white and clean I had to stop myself from licking them,,,,,

 

 

 

 

Remembered the rear had  washers for a spacer!! so made  a new one.

 

 

 

The question is Tooo much white or not???  Blue seat unit or just blue number boards, I don't know, ???

 

Why am I asking you lot?? 

Anyway im liking the wheels. They are very shiny.

Still seems a bit dodgy to me using cheap brake bits per se and also alloy fasteners on brake components, regardless of whether they are made in Chiiinnnaaa (said in the style of D. Trump) or not

[fatblokeonbandit]

Front brakes I totally agree, but like I said, I never use the rear so ill use what i have to hand, and I like purple

[Wagola]

Not too much white and blue number boards to match front muddie.

[clivegto]

Blue seat unit, you did ask

Had one of them on my kat for about year and a half. Not let me down yet 

[Allspeeds]

Looks great but I’d have to ditch the seat unit suited the last owners build but this is abit more modern style imo just my two pence worth other wise nice looking bike now well done that man
