Does somebody want this ? I was gunna fit it to the DR but I sorta like the pipe thats on it now.
Don't really know what it's off but it says suzuki on the side and some other #'s, I think it's off a 1200 looking @ some other #'s. 2.5 inch inlet
Pm if interested

Looks like what what was common fitment to the RF900 and possibly Bandit 1200. I think they are all 3 bolt whereas I think the GSXR's are 4 bolts.

Bash plate - I lost the 3 bolts to refit it.Found them now. I decided to change the oil whilst the bash plate was off.
The speedo drive is a bit of a bugger.It's the female end in the speedo head- it's rounded and wont spin any more.Aclever man would know how to fill the end with epoxy- leaving a square section in it. I'm not that clever man, Im fu.... stupid sometimes and this is one of those times. I'd irrevocably glue the entire front end together.
Nice bike on the photo - made me feel better already!

Buggs, you need this, though it is for an RD07 not an 04

put that straight on the wall of coolness bubbs

**dmc** · 24th July 2009, 20:31

They are cool, I looked at doing a Marathon style upgrade to my RD04 but by the time I priced up the suspension upgrades I was already almost at the price of a 950 and with everything else I was at the price of a 990, still would have been nice.

Thats cool alright ,but lose the aux fuel tanks for NZ , you're better off carrying something useful like beer or coffee or pies

That's why most Trikes have kegs for tanks

Anyone got an RD04 who would be willing to pop the speedo head out- just enough to read the serial No. ans maker? Hopefully the maker is NS. Im speedo-less at the moment and can only findone off an RD04 whereas mine's an 07 and the head's serial HP0281003. Cheers Steve

Isn't the RD04 gauge bigger than the RD07?
I'm sure a trip to a Honda wrecker will find a gauge off any number of Hondas that will be the same.
I'd try asking the question on xrg.org.uk Im sure you will find what bikes shared the same one.
