Very nice build chap, However 1: why the heck would you invest so much time and effort to rebuilding this fine motorcyce and not put fork leg protecters on it? -1 And B: crap yes you waffle on, though the web page is richer for it.

[Utenz]

Thanks for the link.

I have contacted them and will see what comes back.

I have a friend that has some slides, is the carb Keihin?? He has 3 a 7, 6.5 & a 6.
Contact me for his details.

Best reply so far.... TRUE.... I am looking for some now...! And I have the disc cover to put on... original like!... need to find the mounting bracket.

Tried to find camera cable... bugger I left it at work. Asked the wife ti get it.... in my horror she siad NO... WTF... NO... NO it can't be true... hmmmm listein here bitch.... "COOK ME SOME EGGS......." (im not even hungry ... its princible..."NOW".....

OK... no camera cable... no eggs.... bugger cant load pictures.

KX looking mean... fresh oil, fuel tank drained, air filter cleaned, and and ... NO drain screw on the carb... yes yes the big nut thing at the bottom, but what a pain in the ass... when it SHOULD have a drain screw... get home and drain the crab... daaaa thick fucks.!

Night in the garage... Neil Young... load. again.

This is my second build... which like all thing will slow down.. I still need

First is a bucket racer... http://www.fxr150.co.nz/discussion/v....php?f=6&t=308
And obviously this is my latest build.

And like all thing good... they slow done... thinking wifes ass.... yep closer to the ground than when me meet. Ammassing women.. married 12 years... and i let her out in the weekends.

Thinking next project... turn Katana 750 in too... 1340cc (ok already got 1150 GSX motor, $1800 for new wire rims..nice and wide, RS36 cabs.
OR... GSXR750 87H model... thing my ride for next build.

RG500.... already got wider rims..57km gearbox rebuild after Taupo track day.... GSXR1100 breaks... other wise standard. Purchsed from collector... I added Jim Lomas pipes. Leaked oil, so it has been sitting for 18 months... purchased new gearbox gear for upgrade.... new piston comming ...

Or Kat 1150 ... got hyabusa pistons which will match the RS36mm carbs .. at the momnet they are to large. Motor 1150 now...(GSX1135 model) 85 maybe. Hyabusa pistons will take it out to 1340cc.... under 10seconds. yeee ha.

So... mint the GSXR750... Get the RG500 screeming.. or grunt the Katana...1340 OMG... mean

Votes will deside what I will do next... (just quietly.... I have been programing the wife that when the campervan is paid off... i need to get 1 or 2 bikes pained... thinking Kat or RSXR.. RG does not need it... its been done 10 yrs ago...

OK so vote and tell me my next project.

OK... some people are just wise...Fork protectors sounded like leg warmers.... who the fuck uses them... OK.. I look cool shagging with nothing but leg warmers.

So off to the box of bits I went... looking... "WTF do fork protectors even look like" Ahhh found... funny looking white things. And a disc player protector .... even worse than leg warmers. But hay... it might grow on me.... dam and only ONE!



Does it look gay.... if it had a brown smear..... and a little bit of shit paper would you not say... yep that what that disc protector deserves?

Fork warmers on their way....



Notice the bolt hole broken! eazy out needed to remove broken bolt... if not front axle rooted.



Also.... tell me WTF is wrong with these? they keep my feet off the ground...!




How many bike can you count..?

[Arronduke]

And to add .... a nice fulla PM's me with a offer of a carb slide to sort my idle....

THANKS...

Ron.. much thanks to you and I enjoyed the chat... ever make it my way do drop in. I am thinking I will learn somthing! My mate will drop in next week to pick them up..fingers crossed.

Cheers

My two cents! ditch the disc protector (no one uses them any way), get another fork protector(or two new ones), get a black gripper seat cover, paint the foot pegs nice silver to match the bike, adjust chain.

Job done ride and enjoy .

[ktm84mxc]

My choice would be do up the RG500 fit the RGV swingarm, GSXr forks SRAD fairing & tail unit and a SKOAL BANDIT paint job , Or turn the Katana into a Nev Hiscock rep with a full floater rear end etc.
To many choices and only one pair of hands.

big boar the kat, the 1260 kit i had in mine was wicked and way different to the 1135 , you need to do crank/ casings/ and under cut the box / and clutch , but don't advance the ign

Me thinking you are on the right track.....

New fork protectors purchased, disk cover goes back in to box... chain needs to be replaced ...... and I can't bring myself to paint those footpegs!!!!

On a positive note I picked up the slides from Ron and the number 7 worked perfectly. The thing now idles... cool.

Orangeback.... yes this is the goal.

Crank and casings agree as with the clutch... but undercut the box......? does this need to be done?
As I said I have the Busa pistons and are on the look out for a suitable GSXR1100 barrels to donate the liners.
I have RS38's all ready to go, need a full strip and rebuild with new paint and exhaust....$$$$$$$ bugger.

RG500..... needs the cranks rebuilt and new pistons and a motor strip and rebuild. I am not fucking with the RG.... needs to stay standard as its worth to much.

So... this year i will get the GSXR750H up and running real nice and enjoy it while I save for either the RG or Kat..... dam ...... might take a coin toss and a bank robbery.

Haaa yes sounds dam fine... but I dont want to mess with the RG...
