F.O.C.
Never seen a bigga bag a bollox in all my life as that piece a shite

bugger........
got her started after fighting with a dodgy coil(as soon as i plugged one of the leads in,it wouldn't start !)
managed to find another coil now she runs on both cylinders.....
but.......
did a compression test when cold,95 and 100 psi,warmed it up and.........85 and 90 psi ,worn rings i thought,stripped the top end but everything is within spec,very slight wear showing on the barrels but nothing to worry about
bloody crankseals i'm going to have to try and find some money to do the crank now

the crank's been stripped now.....and the center pin is buggered too....another one on its way from bdk,more money....
i've also been playing with my zinc plating tank,i've now done every bolt on the engine

What type of plating have you had on the other components,is it zinc/nickel?


Cheers

front disc's are ebc's (part no. md4008rs md4008ls)and the calipers are from a blandit 1250 (same as gsxr's k1,but newer and less sought after,got mine for £45,with less than 1200 miles )

Looking good doug.You don't hang about d'ya =D>

Iv'e got one you can borrow Doug, pm me if you still need it

body work now fitted............had to take a drimmel to the fairing to remove the large amounts of filler,so the mirrors would fit

the rear shock seems a bit worse for wear,so i thinks i may go for an r6 jobbie,mind you,maxton don't charge that mush to rebuild the standard unit.......oh,i wish i wasn't so skint at the mo.....

Looking good can you tell me what paint or plating youve used on the rear caliper - it looks spot on.

its some leftovers after painting some stuff for my kids..............plasti-kote,fast dry enamel......gold leaf,i think it was 99p from wilkinsons.....lol

had some time at work to get on with doing the zxr 400 front end.....



i've also fitted the r6 shock,works surprisingly well even in standard form,ride hight is a tad high though,46mm,i thin i'm going to have to rework the dogbones......

got the front end fitted into the bike,got the mudguard thanks scooble






just got to have a play with the dogbones(for the timebeing till i can afford to have the shock modded) to drop the back a little.......
then to find another decent painter..........
