Tyre gone flat three times

[skidMark]

Half of El Dopa's parts-bike Bandit 400, half of an SR400 unit from Yahoo Japan. They're actually the same headlight, just took the best bits of both (SR400 is older lens-style though, symmetrical beam and better focus but weaker reflector). Big 8" bastard, really nice compared to the stock rectangle item.

Tomaselli knock-off clip-ons. Nice bars, them. Could use with a bit more angle though.

Got a side on pic of that headlight? need something shallow so i can sink it way back on katana...

[xwhatsit]

I'll take some pics tomorrow. Still have a complete headlight unit (the opposite of the half Bandit half SR unit fitted to my bike). The rim is dinged-up though. If it's suitable you can have it for a cheap price.

Remember it's 8" though. I had to bend my mounting brackets to suit.

EDIT: Looks close to this, maybe a slight difference here or there: http://www.scs-tokyo.co.jp/yamaha/sr400/sr400_50th.jpg

Here it is. Would scrub up nice with some Autosol. It's just the headlight rim, really.

So did anybody take photos of me travelling over the Harbour Bridge on the back of Squiggles' DR650 with a rear wheel bungie-corded to my back?

Hopefully all sorted now, they pulled a hunk of wire out the tyre. Didn't charge me, said it should've been sorted in the first place -- I didn't even ask. No wonder I keep going back.

Yeah it should have been sorted first time , would have been if you'd brought it to me .

Well I would've brought it to you but you've pissed off somewhere miles away! Actually if you've got some cheap TT100s in suitable sizes I'll come down to Drury next time. Plus when you're relying on somebody else's kindness to transport you places you don't necessarily get to pick where.

Actually, that reminds me -- how close is a 410 to a 350? Is a 350 roughly similar to a 100/90? The guy at Cycletreads (don't remember name but seemed a lot more clued-up than the first guy I saw who didn't remove nail) reckoned the 400 I have on there was too big (hence it being unusually difficult to bead), a 350 would be better. I know the 100/90 that was on there before was much smaller and lower profile.

They do TT100s in 18" 350, that's why it peaked my interest...

The 410 is a different series to the 400, not just a slightly bigger 400. The 3.50, 3.65, 4.00, 4.50 were the old imperial sizes. All 100% profile . So a 350 would be (roughly) a 90/90.

A 3.50 is plenty big enough for a 250.

The 410 , the 10 bit indicates a 90% profile. So it would be a 100/90 roughly.

But the 410 (etc) series had a different construction to either the proper metric ones or the old imperial ones. I've never like them, but that's just me

oem is 4.00 18 4.10 is a low profile 4

On an RS? All the literature I've got says 4.10. 4.00 feels rubbish on it and noticeably changes the gearing.

I might try a 350 then next time, if one can't get TT100s in 100/90. I've already got a 90/90 on the front but I suspect that's slightly wide too.

[mouldy]

90/90's right for the front , still got a 110/90 on the back of my one though and it seems ok
