Sam-Jaffa Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Well, I couldn't bring myself to decommission the rat so the geeper could live so I needed to buy an engine and stuff and I ended up buying the stereotypical OSS donor bike 4 Quote
Blubber Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 You did wel. Quick learner. With a better exhaust system you can get a 120 to 128 BHP out of the donor Quote
Sam-Jaffa Posted January 20, 2018 Author Posted January 20, 2018 Has some tasty additives like uprated tokico front calipers, nice set of headers, braided lines, seemed a shame to break it but meh, I got over that hill quickly 7 Quote
Paulm Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Good lad Sam, another donor bike bites the dust. Quote
Sam-Jaffa Posted January 20, 2018 Author Posted January 20, 2018 Well you need to sacrifice one to save the lives of many, seems the best way forward 1 Quote
bluedog59 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 The good old B12 must surely rank in the top 20 best bikes ever for one simple fact. Despite it being a cheap, basic, "jack of most trades" for Joe Public, the very parts of it that made it such a cheap and basic bike are coveted by the "Cognoscenti" as "upgrades". It's like the "Age UK" of the motorcycling world, the "cast offs" and "hand me downs" of the general populace being used to help the elderly. Quote
Foz Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Nowt wrong with a bandit :-) don’t know how tokico calipers are an upgrade though Quote

Sam-Jaffa Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 @Foz these are the calipers fitted, any I.D on them? Quote
CockneyRick Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 90mm spacing so at a guess Kwak? & either way, 4 pots are better than 6 or blandit cals 1 Quote
Sam-Jaffa Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Nowt wrong with the nissin 4's as I run them on the rat but these feel a little better and look a bit cooler Edited January 21, 2018 by Sam-Jaffa Quote
Sam-Jaffa Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 Cheers CC, good to know when ordering pads n stuff Quote
