Cooler is just a no name generic 13 row off ebay.
Got two for £54 ( Gonna use the same set-up on the Moriwaki )
Used to buy Earls etc till i found these are exactly the same only around £40 cheaper each

Learning from this project each posting! ......I had to Google 'Glyptal paint'
Those Electrex coils and CDI units are tiny!
Not seen the 650 tensioner mod with the idler sprocket done before - the Liska items retail around £100
The 903 block with 1015 pistons - is that the 'max' the std liners can be taken too?
Trying to educate meself here

Trying to get a little bit done each day.
Rear shock, Bandit 600 item.
Original spring which was too hard and steel preload and collet on left.
Replaced on right by softer Yam R6 spring that is slightly larger diameter so used much nicer alloy R1 preload etc to suit which also needed some Lathe adjustment to fit the fatter bandit damper.
Got that sort of classic Hagon look i think ?

A cunning plan.
Decided i could use a bit of extra length ( Oo'er ) on the front end 
So had a bit of a measure and discovered that the ZX10's forks fixed top bush is 160mm from the top of the fork outer leg .
And the fork slider has a full 34 mm of unused surface above this in an uncompressed state . So i figured there's a safe 32mm of extra length i can gain without too much trouble and even less expense
Just a matter of extending the damper assembly (which controls fork travel) by 32mm.
A bit of a rummage turned up some old ally ZXR fork tops
And a couple of gixer srad swingarm bearing spacers which were perfect donor material for the job
A combination of turned down zxr adjuster pressed into a srad spacer
Produced the extended spring preload spacers
Next turn up the threaded damper rod extensions
On which i milled some flats
To take a spanner
Then add some longer preload rods (more donor zxr)
And screw it all together
And there you go
Spot the difference
And not a vacuum pump in sight
