    I'm going racing and need a hand.

    Alright, I need "period" hot up bits for a 1986 GSXR750.

    I'd love a Yoshi exhaust system but the pricks don't do 'em anymore.

    If anybody knows anyone with some bits to fit one please let me know. Cams, carbs, exhaust anything that makes it goes fast but in keeping with the era.

    I'd also like some wheels and race tyres so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

    This is gonna be an absolute hoot and, Fizzerman, you're dead!

    :
    If wheels and tyres are open like pre 82,then find some 17 inch from a later model bike,gives you more options for decent rubber.

    There was a GSXR600 1986 in the tender centre up here last week ....it needed to re-vinned and required new discs for it to get a warrant ... I never got a chance to get it fired up but I think it's still there ... would any of the parts on that be interchangable ?? ... ...if so what would be a good price for it .....the whole thing was in good nick so it might be worth a look .....
    A man can move much faster without a millstone around his neck, so if he gets the chance to lose her he'd better drop her and run like heck !! .. (10cc "Modern Man Blues" - Deceptive Bends)

    Give Bryce at Bucket'n Bits a ring - number's in the book, he's out in Rata Street in Naenae. He has got (literally) millions of bike parts. He knows shitloads. Tell him you know me (he'll double the price )

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    And if that doesn't work get back to me cos I've got a few mates who race Posties.

    You might want to think about joining the Postie Register? I think it's $30 and they send out all the info on races, bikes/bits for sale etc etc. It's Auckland based but from what I can see it's $30 well spent for the info you can get. Let me know if you want to and I can give you the details.

    PM me your email address and I'll give you the details.

    Or better still, because I'm at work now and am not supposed to be online to KB, email me at lblair@linz.govt.nz and you'll get the info sooner.

    Hey, I own one of them!!! You are a man of taste

    There's a guy selling a set of Yoshimura pipes (no mufflers) on TradeMe now. Check the motorcycle parts listing


    Also APE guys do alot of (expensive) hot up stuff for these engines, 'cos they use them in speedway cars. The dealer's in New Plymouth...am now trying to remember who they are? Someone help here?

    Oh yeah and CSL do cams and stuff for them as well
