Reddragon Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 12b doesn't really have the same ring to it though Quote Link to comment
Reddragon Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Nearly ready to try and fire this up, re the PAIRS system, will it still run ok without it blanked off ? Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 will run but like with 4 leaking exhaust gaskets Quote Link to comment
Reddragon Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'll try and get them blanked off then, i was gonna cut the pipes off and weld up the hole in the middle as a quick fix Quote Link to comment
Reddragon Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Bit of redneck engineering on the PAIRS pipes, cut them off and flattened them in the Vice for a quick fix Quote Link to comment
Reddragon Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Then fitted the titanium downpipes from a gsxr 1000 , people say they fit with a bit of brute force, I'd say a lot of brute force Edited September 25, 2017 by Reddragon Quote Link to comment
Reddragon Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Tatty powerscreen oil cooler coz that's all i had to hand , filled it with oil, pulled tbe leads and cranked it for about 10 secs 3 times to get some oil around the top end hooked up a car battery and gave each carb a squirt of easy start ............ nothing. Pulled a plug, no spark, checked one on tbe other coil, weak spark . Cleaned the coil terminals, cleaned the earth and wiggled the clips on the battery , tried again a few pops , promising i thought, realised i didn't have the choke out pulled it out pressed the button and vrooooom its alive! 1 Quote Link to comment

Works fine but don't over torque. Quote Link to comment
Reddragon Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 I did that to the first one and threadlocked it in place then decided it was quicker to just crush them in the vice Quote Link to comment
Reddragon Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Not done much more on this but my bargain hunting skills came into play again when i saw a set of bst36s on the bay advertised as running rich even after cleaning, got them for £27 posted and these are not clean in my book Quote Link to comment
micktodd Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Ive got a punch bag in my garage for anger and the chains it hangs from make a good hoist with couple of ratchet straps ideal for engine fitting been a loner that i am lol seriously good buy though Quote Link to comment

fatblokeonbandit Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 bugger I should have charged much more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Reddragon Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Lol, I actually bid £350 but no one else bid , I figured I'd throw a grand at it and see what I got, but don't reckon I'm gonna get that high 1 Quote Link to comment
Reddragon Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Didn't realise how long ago I posted on this, still beavering away in the background but keep forgetting to take pics, I've just torn down the dry build ready for paint powder and polishing, and I'm in it for WAAAAAAY over the initial 1000 budget, partly due to custom yokes and a change to R1 forks , my assistant mechanic is sadly no longer with me , the big C took her in September last year Quote Link to comment
