Finally got everything from Japan.

Nitro Racing exhaust looks killer.

Carbs look pretty damn sweet as well. :D

Got home some more goodies today.

I ordered some front brake discs from ISR Brakes a while back but when I got them, they had mixed up some measurments so they didn't match the wheels at all so I had to send them back and they had to make some new hubs for the discs.

A few weeks later and here they are.

Image

Lovely looking discs.

Image

And here are two more shots of the carbs. Almost my favorite part of the bike now. :D

Image

The carbs are supposed to be put together by JB Power (tuning firm in Japan) so hopefully they'll work straight out of the box without much tuning.

Image

Gonna try and get some work done this weekend on the bike. Maybe fit the Pingle fuel tap to the tank. I'll either make a bolt-on adapter or weld a short tube with the proper thread to the tank. We'll see.

Great stuff - looking well LUSH :twisted:

On my old MK II Sprinter I got hold of a nut to suit the Pingel and had it brazed onto the tank so it cleared the carbs (VM33's).
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Thanks Piggy.

I'm looking at doing something similar, only making the stuff myself.

Find a tube of suitable inner- and outer diameter, thread it inside with the correct NPT-thread that Pingle uses (stupid thread), weld said stump of now threaded tubing onto the tank where the fuel tap is supposed to go. Hey presto! :)

Actually got something done today!

Any guesses?

Image

Hm...

Image

Image

Image

Starting to look like something...

Image

Done!

Image

Refurbished the fully floating disc that came with the rear wheel. The center for the disc was re-drilled a couple of times and looked terrible, plus it had a pretty big offset which we had no use for on this bike when using an old GSXR rear caliper. Gonna refurbish the buttons a bit then hit the center with the blaster and get it painted up.

Only a few hours of work so much better than paying £100-150 for a completely new disc.

Great skills to have, you could set up round here and make a killing. No-one wants to do any work any-more or retire on what ever they do get!!!

Thanks for the kind words guys. Unfortunately, this is about the extent of my abilities with the lathe, which is good enough for most bike-related stuff.

Made this today. A fitting for the Pingle fuel tap. Just need to cover the holes and weld it up.

Gonna try and get some work done this week. Spacers for the rear wheel among other things.

I'll post some pics in the next few days.
