Re: Gpz1100b1 wheel options...

My Lawson has 18 inch CMA 3 spoke wheels in stock forks at front. Rear is Kipkawa Z1000S replica but ZRX11/1200 swinging arm virtually goes straight in, looks good and keeps twin shocks. My old Unitrak track bike ran FZR600 forks at front with GSXr Slabbie wheels front and rear. 750 Unitrak will giv...

Re: Z Thous at Cassington

I would normally go to Cassington on one of mine but I was freezing my nuts off doing a trackday in Brno. Heatwave (and summer in general) seems to have missed Czech Republic

Re: Gpz1100 a1 fairing.

Yes it will. I had one on my old Unitrak but i think there are differences if you are looking at a perfect resto. They regularly come up on eBay

Re: Donington Endurance 2018

My Croz replica ran the entire weekend without incident or failure which is amazing. Shame it's so damn loud as i'd love to use it more often. Even managed to start on the kick start as i forgot the foot switch for my rollers.

Pictures aren’t as much of a pain as they used to be. Getting the forks out the eaves of the garage is more challenging

Re: Racefit exhaust

I have a Racefit on my Katana. Welcome to the world of melted ear drums. Even with the DB beater fitted it will wrinkle bricks. Hope you have a sympathetic MOT tester! BTW performance is good. I replaced a Marvic system and there is a noticeable improvement in pick up and it revs much cleaner. Quali...
