Moderator drewpy Posted February 20, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted February 20, 2015 did a bit more today, noticed that the lower crank looked bodged so took it to kickstarter motorcycles in manchester for them to have a look. turns out its body filler took it back home and prayed that it was only the post that had gone and not the crank itself. after a tense 10 mins using a wire brush drill attachment, i finally breathed and it was just the post that had been bodged so i tooki it back to KSM and he welded it up in a few hours. so I went to manchester city centre 3 times today, luckily its only 10mins if the traffic's clear red in the photo for some reason on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Aye, I think the red is that stretcher/filler fibre glass stuff. Used it few times in the past filling in holes in car floors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted February 21, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2015 got some wrecked dogbones off ebay for £4 so I can check if they fit yipee, they do fit so all i need to do now is work out the ride height when the bike is together and either use standard YVPS dogbones or get some shorter ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat250 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Will this change ride height ? is the R6 unit firmer ,? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted February 21, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2015 Will this change ride height ? is the R6 unit firmer ,? the ride height will be adjusted via the dogbones when the bike is together the r6 is about right and has the added benefit of rebound adjustment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted March 28, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted March 28, 2015 got some tasty 4 pot front calipers of an FRZ400rr. these are fitted to TZR250 bikes too and some Raask rearsets. brake side is good, gear change side is a lash up with only the back plate any good. Hopefully I might have some kind folks give me the missing bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted April 8, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted April 8, 2015 did a bit today, well a lot actually. forks in swing arm in, wheels on brakes in and the postie brought the pads striaght to me as I was hanging the brakes talk about timing. the rear wezmoto brake pipe is too short, so that will have to go back put the raask rearsets on and they are too high for me, so I'm going to stick with the original set up so I can be less of a contortionist! the front brakes and M/C look good though, just need to bleed them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
