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 :D

Pictures of the slabby in kit form :)

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.

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 :D 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 :tu

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

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 :)

@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
