hi try bridgstones bt-016's on the r6 i used to run them on mine when i had it and even in the wet they were fantastic gave loads ov grip used bridgstones since then even stuck em on my rd500 ( i miss that bike so much ) running my thou exup on them as well and in the rain can almost get my knee down......Fantastic tyres

hi all finished stripping the engine down on the 1000exup last nite and can happily report no major wear / damage so sent the head off this morning to get gas flowed and have ordered new highlift cams with adjustable pulleys , uprated clutch, 1040 bigbore kit with race spec head gasket plus the rest of the bits needed so hope fully its gona be a beast when it finished also managed to pick up a set of 41mm flatsides of a matey quite cheaply ......result golfdub

thrashed a few porsches on the m6 last year and a tosser in an 08 plate aston martin i even waited for him to catch me at 140 then pissed all over him again he gave up........stupid boy !!!!!!! just goes to show never underestimate a sweet running 1000 exup golfdub

did the frame and swingarm on it when i bought it as a wreck check out my thread metal polisher its what i do so if you want anything done gimmie a shout as the pics speak for themselves. i'm not expensive as i understand that most real guys who have a bike run it on a shoe - string nearly all the time ............... gona polish the engine while its out so will post the pics soon :rolle yes: goldub

sounds like crap in the carbs bro my thou exup's done it a few times when the fuel level got low or the other thing i've had is moisture in the fuel / carbs if the bikes been kept outside / left standing in the damp for a period ov time...add a wee bit ov redex to the tank and take it for a run that should help. golfdub

hi all just started the engine rebuild on my 89 1000exup today so far i ain't found any scary damage / serious wear ( yet ) so far so good so i recon within a month including waiting for parts it should be backup and running sweet here's a pic ov the bike anyway golfdub

Hi to all and happy New Year from sunny Scotland. I'm new to this forum so i thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself . My forum name is golfdub as i've been into mk2 golf's for a while now ( hey you need a car when its snowing you cant ride a bike) but ive owned a few bikes in the past and at the moment i have a 89 fzr 1000 exup thats my favorite toy !!!!! The exup was a shed when i bought it so after 6mths of part finding, rebuilding, cleaning, restoring and lots of alloy polishing it now looks fantastic. I run a small family metal polishing business thats been going about 10yrs. I mainly do motorcycle parts wheels , frames, engine cases, swingarms.....etc If its metal then it can usually be polished to a high standard !!!! I've inserted a few examples of my work in this e-mail so please have a look if interested in shiny bits and bobs... The wheel in the picture is from a GSXR 1000 K04 i ended up polishing the frame, swingarm , both wheels engine cases on the bike also. plus small things like this collection of items : If anyone has any metal polishing requirements please contact me either through the website or you can contact me directly at [email protected] hope you all have an excellent 09......and get to enjoy plenty of 2wheel pleasure !!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers golfdub
