I've got a mint jmc swinger for an fzr1000 that could fit that.

save loads of bog roll and kitchen roll tubes for the job.
then make a cut in them down there lenthg and use them to wrap around frame tubes and tape in place.
i found this to serve very well to protect the frame during engine installation

good info about plugs. but do you go down a number or up a number for a hotter grade plug.

you need a bodyshop with a spectro - photometer it analizes the paint and issues the formula for the mix of the colour your paint is now.

im after 3 or 4 exhaust mount rubbers the ones that end 010. Any condition will pretty much do as the 4-4 i have has oval holes of approx 20mm x 15mm and ive got to linish/dremrl them down to fit. so i dont really want to get new ones just to butcher them.
many thanks

Train your cat! I've got 2 that built a complete bike for me.

if you do suck on the tube to start the syphon, new oil don't taste that that bad when it gets to your lips! or use something like a mitie vac and drain straight to its res ( pukka for brakes too) or failing that a big 'F off' syringe to start the syphon.

cool, thanks very much.

Help
I need to source an exhaust mount rubber bung and washer ( for the original exhaust mount). Or I cant mount my new kerker.

all good advice cheers guys

z power do a z1 side stand bracket that might save you fabricating from scratch.

I have heard that the French used to call them l'perculator. so overheating makes sense. was it a temp sender thing or more to do with the rad/water pump.
