One was for an aftermarket pipe.

Hey all, anyone got a master cylinder ( and lever, perch etc if different from stock) laying about they would be willing to sell to me? My stock one on the FXR has lost its grunt/seal . Only starts working at the very end of the pull. Preferably one that takes the stock banjo. Cheers!

Any of you boys know where I can buy an inexpensive but reasonable water temp gauge complete with sender ?

any of you boys know where I can either buy or get made a softer spring for my rear shock, presently it's a 1000lb and way too hard for anything other than smooth surfaces

There is a place in Aussie that sells the shocks DHZ (I think its called) they have a lot of pitbike stuff.
I have brought stuff from them before, very quick turnaround and very helpful to boot

A lot of the Chinasey stuff is half copied off well know stuff, measure and post the spring sizes.
From memory the Fastace stuff is Mazzochi and WP sized not sure re the DNM

Okay Google says
1000 pound
Length 142mm
Inner dia 45mm
Outer 68mm

if none below suit

Length 142mm

Outer 68mm
Thus if we look here on the racetech site here is the standard size and rates
So take off the spring and measure the deflection per mm in KGS and find one here
Note I doubt the std spring is 1000 pound for Inch so make sure you measure it with a scales and a ruler to see what it actually is.
Or hit up MR Taylor with the spec you want.
on his site they all seem to be around $150NZ

AS for the getting made it would be likely cheaper to buy an off the shelf Ohlin's complete with spring tailored to suit then get a spring custom made for the Chinese shock

Chaimberlain springs in chch made one for me about 150.00

If you know somebody with a surface grinder you could gind a flat on one side of the spring , that would soften it up a bit, would probably be ok to use , if you were paranoid you could do that to work out the right spring rate then have one made

F1 or F4 Having an off because modified parts fail on your bike due to having a guess "Probably" advice still hurts the same.

I say again

Do with it what you like.

Do you even race a bucket? Usually there isnt much unmodified, and yes stuff breaks, not always because its modified. Frames crack, wheels crack, chains break, welds crack, engines explode, shocks break.
If the spring fails its contained whats the big deal?
People crash without mechanical failures, there just isnt enough cotton wool in the world

If somebody has a surface grinder they probably have half an idea on a safe amount of spring to remove

Sheesh

Buckets? What you describe is any class of road racing.

My comment has nothing to do with the class of racing you do.....Its about a basic understanding of engineering and making out that you know when you don't offering bad advice at the cost of others.

SHEESH......
