    none in Uk (there was but the proprietor died) try here for parts flat track stuff here might be worth restoring than modifing as there are not a lot of early bikes around drewps
  3. I got FZR 250 R from here
  4. cheapest in usa for oem is $133 from motogrid I'm sure there's a few on ebay, you can use xs250 and xs400 coils up to '78 in Uk i got these http://www.rexcauntracing.com/pages/htcoils.html australia but not in stock http://www.motorcycle-ignition.com/motorcycle_coils.htm

  7. to the forum hebrew H I had no probs fitting my f;at tracker seat to the frame, but had to cut off the rear frame rails. why not try and fit a guilari seat. that will fit straight on and looks cafe style they are made to fit the sohc and dohc models guilari seat
  8. Aye, I think you will need different thickness shims too if its the dohc model. take your gaps first and see what you need.
  9. they were selling them at Aldi not long back with a turtle shell back (presumbly for aero dynamics)

    I assume it was via ebay? start the complaint process and you'll soon get a response. worked twice for me especially as ebay give out their phone number as part of the process and you do phone them!!
  11. ATTENTION ALL ZIMBABWE/MOZAMBIQUE BORDER PATROL AGENTS Be on the lookout for a 1951 Chevy, red with white top - thought to be transporting illegal immigrants. .
  12. as per my reply there is no kit, yer on yer own as this was the info off a bike that was on ebay. you should be able to get the pistons and get it rebored.
  13. OMG!!

    looks great, Boom is not far from me and £99 for 24 hours, can't beat it vroom vroom!!
  15. you need to buy an optimate type charger, this will keep your battery in top condition. buying a glass mat battery (AKA gel) will pay off too drewps
  16. I'm sure there was another thread about this. need to do a search not done it meself so can't really comment drwps
  17. try the INOX web site the sr250 might be the same as the 500

    4 secs for me
  19. should be obvious, the xs400 speedo mirrors the casting on the opp side. the disk has a big hole in the middle to go over the speedo drive!!
  20. invest in a cheap bench grider and get a set of polishing mops. you can do mirror finishes in an hour or so. nice work though, now you have gorilla arms
  21. sounds knackered mate. you shouldn't be able to push it up at all. the run out limit is 0.1mm (0.004in) according to the yam service manual. new head and cam cover ( matched pair) is needed, unless you can line bore them and retro fit bearings.

    I think we need to help Goff with her wedding Tunes for the big day! lets hear your top 5 and bottom 5 top 1) All of my my Love - Led Zeppelin 2) You Shook Me all Night Long – AC/DC 3) Beautiful day - U2 4) Forever - KISS 5) Close Your Eyes Forever - Ozzy Osbourne & Lita Ford bottom 1) paranoid - black sabbath 2) white wedding - billy Idol 3) another one bites the dust - queen 4) heaven knows I'm miserable now - smiths 5) She F*%$ing Hates Me - Puddle of Mudd
  23. not sure i did a step by step, but it is very easy... yam wheel has a cover on opp side of hub and pry this off to reveal the machined holes for another disk. 1) fit another disk 2) you need a left hand early type lower fork part. they have a fitting for another caliper mount 3) use a caliper and mount from an SR500 . these are the same as xs400 right side, but it says left or "L" on it 4) buy 1 longer brake pipe and a double banjo fitting for the master cylinder 5) use master cylinder from an xs750, 850 or XS1100 twin disk bike. I would rebuild it with new seals 6) bleed system for 2 hours and there you have a twin disk set-up drewps

    doesn't really break, as bearings take the rotational wear. it would be cheaper to buy a whole bike

    Ebay gone mad. thi part makes it more expensive than the bike HERE
