Simbec1863 Posted May 22, 2022 Author Posted May 22, 2022 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 Pictures of the slabby in kit form 10 Quote
Simbec1863 Posted May 27, 2022 Author Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) 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.

clivegto Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 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. 1 Quote

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 4 Quote
Simbec1863 Posted July 18, 2022 Author Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited July 18, 2022 by Simbec1863 4 Quote
Simbec1863 Posted August 5, 2022 Author Posted August 5, 2022 Sold an 80’s old skool air rifle to a mate of mine for a decent price so spent the money on some stoppers before the boss finds out I’ve got some cash . Saved more than £75 quid with my ACU discount 3 Quote
