Bucket bits wanted & services needed

[RMS eng]

I blew my rg50 up on the dyno yesterday f*&*K !!!! Probably being a water pump for 5 meetings them sitting around for 6 months didn't help.
Can anyone tell me what the best bearings for the crank are and where I can get them.

Cheers

any good C3 bearing will be fine,i do sell some that are made in japan.or any bearing shop will have them.

yeah they don't last forever, but the left hand side one is the one under most stress so a plastic cage one will fare better. SKF or FAG will do them. Right one in oil so generally lasts, but replace it while yer there. As Chris sez ask for C3 clearance.

I doubt I will have much luck finding anything really good in 18" buuuuttt

does anyone have some second hand tires worth running on my bucket to fit the 18x1.6 and 18x1.4 wheels on my GL145?

Preferably in Auckland

They are pretty cool but I think they are only the same width as standard fxr wheels... so not ideal.

Good shit chris! see you next weekend?!

when I wanted 18' tyres I went and hunted out the back of cycletreads for some that had been replaced/chucked out off someones road bike, not ideal but cheap!

About the stickiest 18s you will find are BT39ss but they are more expensive and less sticky than second hand slicks, the reason for all the wheel conversions.
Let us know what is on it at the moment and head out on them in the meantime if they aren't too crap.

Theres lots cheap 125gp tyres on tard me at the moment for the skinny 17s. Would 2.5-3inch even adapt into gl forks and swinger?

Anythings possible, the common mod was to use 2.15 rear rims from a Xr200 and run 2 fronts back in the day.

Edit it is the XL250 of arround 83-85 that had the 2.15x17 the 200 were 1.85x17 whoops

theres k65 race tyres in 18inch but they are $600 a set.

Keep forgetting about the Heidenau tyres, probably because I've only ever seen them used on street stocks. They are damned sticky by all accounts, pricy though.

Anybody out there have a pair of WETS somewhere around the 95/70-120/70 17 size? and is willing to part with them for around the $100 mark (per pair)? jolly racing is in desperate but on a budget need..

[F5 Dave]

They rarely come up & when they do they are expensive as they last so little time when they inevitably get used on a drying track. $100? well maybe this is more your speed.

Does't Henk have a tyre grooving tool, easier to buy old slicks and groove them

Wets are a much softer compound as they are designed to be cooled by surface water.
Slicks aren't really soft enough and won't get warm enough to be effective.

Find some wets.
