Get rid of those NGK spark plugs :!: I think these are better IRIDIUM BR8E1X-S NIPPONDENSO W24ES-U I feel sure other members will be telling you later I have used ND Iridium plugs previously and had bad experiences with them causing misfires and basically behaving poorly at higher CR's over 11:1, s...

Have been looking around for a while for some air corrector jets that i can adapt to fit without much success. Closest i have found are from Allens Performance Mikuni: They have 0.60mm in-stock but they are M4 thread which is too small to fit the air passage which is 5mm (from memory). I am assuming...

Need to list the spec of your engine but 130 mains sounds too big if you are using 26mm or 28mm VM's. Thanks for replying zed1015. Agree 130's are probably too big. Engine spec: 1105 Wiseco at 10.3:1 GPZ unitrac cams at 107 timing on both GPZ unitrac inlet (36mm) and ex (32mm) valves Shims under bu...

Not me but it might be helpful to others to know what size VM's?

Standard, as in 26's

Hi All, Does anyone have experience with setting up standard VM carbs with pod filters and 4 into 1 pipe like a Harris etc? Ideally looking for appropriate sizes of: Main jet Pilot jet Air screw setting Needle number Needle height setting If any mods are required on main air jet etc. Capacity is 110...

He's got plenty of experience of eating all of your biscuits............ :mmm :mmm Don't remember getting any chocky biscuits when i was last round yours (admittedly a very long time ago now). But there is always chocolate hobnobs in our house! No direct experience with VM’s but done plenty of carb...

When you gonna let me come and have a look in person? You are welcome anytime of course, but i'm about to take the front end off to extend the forks and fit new bottom yoke and also going to be sending the bodywork off for painting in the next couple of weeks, so maybe wait until i get the paint ba...

You can see from the last picture i posted that i slung the rear wheel in, including the rear caliper and hanger and torque arm: IMG_20170723_204304.jpg What you don't see here and what i haven't posted yet is the lengths i have gone to to get the caliper to fit the rear wheel without fouling the wh...

Excellent work cannot wait to see this finished in the flesh.

Cheers Padders, and everyone else that has commented

Are you fitting individual air filters or will the oil cooler lines go between the airbox rubbers ?

Pod filters. Currently battling with setting up the carbs esp. just off idle transition from pilot to needle.

Anyone got and carb set up advice for pod filters??

Eccentric adjusters are a good solution I guess you could also bolt an extension stop (plate) to the one already fitted to the frame. Yes GB, it was considered and i did this on my ZRX fitting a ZX12R front end. It always looked a bit like an "after-thought" but was hidden well by the fai...

So after a problem free final build up till now, i sling the pre-assembled front forks, yokes etc. into the frame and 1st problem shows up straight away: IMG_20170723_154157.jpg I had extended the lock-stop bracket welded to the frame so the vertical lock-stops on the R6 bottom yoke touched with abo...

Got some M8 304 SS exhaust studs from Legend and fitted them with Loctite stud locking compound: IMG_20170719_222630.jpg Also mounted the oil cooler. I had the brackets black anodized. Thanks Mikey :beer IMG_20170719_222639.jpg I had pre-made the oil cooler pipes with the cooler end fittings and rou...

I used the time tested method of laying the engine on its side and me and the mrs. lowered the frame over the motor and started installing all the engine mounting hardware: IMG_20170711_180833.jpg IMG_20170711_180844.jpg Once in the frame i then put the cam cover on and installed the oil pump the su...

Powdercoating by Nick @ Griffs? It may have overrun a little (something that niggles me too) but the quality will be second to none. Hi GB, yes. Although the overall quality was good there were other issues that had me really not happy at the time. But time is always an excellent cure for most thin...
