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

should work ok then

ace pressie, and a great wife too by all accounts

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

does it have the particle filter still attached and cleaned? what colour is the spark plug?

thought you were forgetting about it! it will dwell on your mind and then you'll start getting angry and go for revenge

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

good to hear its sorted

I'd report it to the police, let them record it you never know if they know the car! Glad your not too bad though, day 2 usually is more painful

:welcome:to the forum

make sure you have the later xs500 head

I was talking to a guy on the santa run and he had a helmet one, he changed to a bar mount as he said that you don't know if you switched it on properly and have to check. His had an extension cord for switches which if on helmet, you would have to remember to unplug I think it was a contour HD he had

same here , like the mods but Yellow engine with chrome?

you're welcome

great intro modern biking is def not the same as 10 years ago, all depends where you live I suppose

yes, it holds 10,27 to it. you'll find that it won't undo as the thing spins in side. it needs to be locked with a special tool (which can be made with a broom stick/welded on allen) from inside the tube
