Manawatu Rant n Rave

Well I could sell you some 650 forks for one! (in a few months that is) haven't broken parts, just finding/making better ones

Jolly good mate! I don't think I can be buggered with a 400/650 hybrid. Lovely bikes, love them to bit. But, I shall try something new. Haven't had a 4cyl since the GPZ400R when I was 16.

Which is a good thing...


What are the plans for the bros?

What are the plans for the bros?

so far I've done a cbr600f4 shock with custom linkage, a mikuni vac fuel pump.
Got new forks (zxr250), renthal fatbars, pods and jets lying round to go in. Also plan on replacing the rear section with an ally subframe, single seat, and under tail exhaust. Got some other bits in the pipeline too, but those will keep me busy for a while...

Super fun!! I wish I had kept my [wreck] 650, I could have sold you the motor, was making a few ponies for a bros [71whp if I rmember correct]
I have some slightly bent fork legs here if you want them.....
I hope I can score a nice wee bike and some nice gear from the sale of the boat and Rover.

Head work, cams/springs, carb kitted and Moriwoki stainless system [from the bocks, was a fair bit fatter than standard too, and tuned length, ridiculous sound] and that's all I know had been done. It ate the clutch, fast.
I would be happy with a 400 I suppose, just for that sound...mmmm 52 degree twin FTW!!!!

yeh, except the crank isn't shared pin, so the effective angle is still 90degrees iirc, I got a moriwaki chambered exhaust on there atm, took it apart and seems pretty restrictive, straight through can should be ftw!

Never even thought about that? They do have a unique sound though. Mine was rather empty in the can....got the can packed and it ran like shit, so emptied it again
Argh, I want the toys gone now so I can start hitting buy nows....

Bit of anti matter injection will sort that.
