EXUP Worldwide

I thought it looked like it was wrapped in band aid....just waiting for its first fall

HD seem to be going the same way as the British bike industry of the 60's & 70's.

They seemed to have buried their heads and hoped the competition would simply disappear...lack of forward thinking will be their downfall IMHO

both nice rides mate

is that the gas tank on the near side of the kart?...if so, you need another on the other side with NOS in it :cool

does anyone know WHY the FZR site closed or whats going to happen to it? Thought it was real popular and the membership subs paid for the hosting etc

As most of you know, I run the "other" UK site EXUP1000 and post here every so often (info sharing is always good). Always found the hood friendly and helpful and never minded giving advice/helping out when able. I too frequent several sites ...but have been REMOVED from the FZR site for reasons unk...

any tips on building new stuff (I'm a chippy by trade so basic mould shapes would be easy) and wheres the colour and gel coats come into the equasion?

thanks for the info so far....made it sound real easy :cool

Cheers Stig, that would be ideal. Please do. How many different sizes and shapes are there??? That's a bummer 97YZF, but understandable. It adds a lot to the cost and grief too, but for the buyer I thought, not the seller (unless someone refused to pay it and they got sent back etc)... John The siz...

I used PFM replacement buttons on mine. They're made from stainless and use the circlip at the back against a wavey washer for security. Buttons cost approx £2.50 and are available from anyone who stocks PFM I have the code/size for the buttons at home. If you need it, give me a shout and i'll look ...

If theres something specific you want, I'll ask and add them to the next order if you want. I'll then ship you...

Keep it up Steve, great going :cool

no expert here but could it be an air lock...that just happens to knock it down a couple of cylinders until the fuel catches up

just a thought

UK law states they must be able to reach the rear pegs and be stable/safe Know what you mean about other folks thoughts about being irrisponsible I thought long & hard about the same issue...but medical probs at the time meant i'd either do it then or maybe never get the chance ever again. Obviously...

good luck for tomorrow

remember seing Croz on the back wheel along the main straight at Donnington many years back...he's such a showman and top bloke :cool

nice finish on the mudder :cool

look forward to seeing this topic develop. May even have a go myself once its all been explained

Do you have any plans for videos to show various techniques?

Can you get a pair of mole clamps on the outside of the nut? If so, use them along with the allen key to give extra leverage.

If you're going to tap it, be very careful how much force you give it...don't want to crack the castings

I loaded it when I had probs with IE and for me it was a pain in the R's. It had loads of issues so I ended up removing it and repairing IE (system is XP SP1) :sad

Mine cost me about $20 to paint as I already had most of the materials such as topcoat, thinners and primer. So far I've done 3 sets of wheels and I've used about half a litre of paint

My lad did his wheels easily whilst leaving the tyres on. Paint strippered , polished the rims, masked them up and then painted the centres up. Made a smart job of them too http://www.stigsdump.co.uk/html/the_rebuild.html and heres where I did my own & how I polished the outer rims Bling wheels - cl...

regular unleaded in the UK is approx $9.23 a gallon and still going up
