Re: RS Taichi Gloves

No Idea Dave. It's so hard to find ridding gear that fits properly. If you have found something like the alpinestars that work, I would stick with them. I'd never buy gloves that I hadn't tried on before.

Re: Megacycle

Isn't that the truth Djalbin, My crank shop has retired, and an engine builder=machinist did the same. They can't find kids who are interested in taking this sort of work on. Demand always leads to supply, but you have to draw the line at Harley guys... Joking. :lol:

Yamaha Racing Success.

It's been a sensational year for Yamaha, with the MotoGP championship and the WSBK championship in the bag as well!

Back on top where we deserve to be!

Next year will be interesting!

Re: Replica OW01 Kit triples.

I've got a set of OW01 Ohlin's clamps on the way now as well.

50mm upper and 53mm lower? Dunno, they are due to arrive, next week.

Then next time I have a fist full of cash I'll do the replicas (some of each. Stem and collets should be the same... :crazy:

Re: FZR 600R project

Very Handy Dave.

Can you double check the number stamped into the headstock?

There must be something missing here as nothing is coming up.

Exactly as it is stamped. :thumbup:

Re: New family member

haha. it's deceiving. These are a very strong little aircraft. They are rated at +6 -4 g's In the positive that means the airframe will take 2 tons of downward pressure. At 6 g's my body weighs 6 times it's static weight (which is a bit these days :lolno: ) I'll be able to enjoy entry level competit...

Billet bits

Here is an interesting link to a company that has been under my nose, but never knew about. Billet t6 FZR-YZF clutch baskets, alt block off plates, cable clutch kits, and some other stuff. The basket, with rivets for people overseas is $405 australian dollars! That is like 4 american dollars... :lol...
