February 17, 201510 yr thats some work your putting into that yoke.. great handling bikes tho so well worth it..
February 18, 201510 yr Author Moderator managed to weld on the new top mount for the r6 shock, about 25mm longer, which is fine old mount new mount off to Andys bikes in Derby to drop off the plastics
February 19, 201510 yr Author Moderator well drove 200 miles today to give the painter my plastics, only gone and forgot the fuel tank left it in the shed as it stunk, so I borrowed a box off him and said he can have it back when I send the tank asked it to be ready for end May
February 20, 201510 yr He has addled his brain with all that 'old man porn' he has been trawling through lately
February 20, 201510 yr Author Moderator 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
February 20, 201510 yr 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

February 21, 201510 yr Author Moderator 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

March 28, 201510 yr Author Moderator 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
April 8, 20159 yr Author Moderator 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
