    Just got this on Kindle and its a cracking read. Gives you an insight as the the machinations of the race industry, the old adage is still true, its not what you know but who you know! still Martin has the grit and determination to succeed and still have fun. that's why he still works on the lorries then he can answer to no-one at the end of the day.
  7. wow, that's some balancing act and strength
  8. sorry I meant to say for the fuel

    well I've decided not to go the CBR shock route now, too much hassle. It is going to be cheaper to get the original shock rebuilt! so I've put it on the market to sell. the bike is totally stripped now and I've noticed the head is weeping slightly, I have a head gasket so might swap the head for the refurbed one I already have and keep the later XJ cams. I already had tapered head bearings fitted but they were pretty loose, but well greased. I had purchased a set thinking that they were knacked, might still fit them though! I'm going to visit the powder coaters soon, keeping with the silver for the frame as it ties in the forks and swing arm and just looks right. Picking up some more plastics friday from a guy off facebook FZ600 page

    I would use to set up with cheaper materials and then get a solid one made up. there is a lot of stress on those

    watch for adjustable ones, I was looking into that for my FZ and came across a lot of failures, mostly at high speeds. it soon stopped me from pursuing that one

    looking good, is the swing arm the same length as the ducati?

    thought you were forgetting about it! it will dwell on your mind and then you'll start getting angry and go for revenge
  20. been in this for a few years now and gets you into shows for a £1 if you come on your bike. Costs just a stamp
