Sig Change

Well it would be if I was using one. Here I'll make a temporary one.

'Hog
'89 R100RS '96 Bandit12 in Black wiv nice bits

It can be seen here www.photobox.co.uk/album/1788003
Arm is 916, front end is ZX9, exhaust by Zorstec.
Engine is a Holeshot stage3 with raised comp. and 144bhp rear wheel.
I have all the paperwork and it's done 8000 miles since new.
Even unfaired (I shall put something on though) it was way better on
the back/neck than the Gixxer when keeping the speed down to an 80ish
cruise.
Fun it is......lots.

The ride up from FJ's (thanks Mark!) got a bit interesting. Passing
the on-ramp to Burton in Kendal services I was aware of a lot of lorry
tyre debris on the road. Slowed from a 120 dash to 80 but immediately
felt the rear go strange. Clutched it and felt the chain let go, it
was able to coast right into the services off-ramp, leaving no more
than a 50 yard push. Auntie Carole had me in Glasgow for a next day
chain replacement 5 hours later.

I recovered the old chain and it has a fair size kink in it. There was
also some rear sprocket damage. I guess it could have been a bit of HT
wire reinforcing (from a tyre shard). The cases and arm survived
unscathed, thankfully, but the clutch pushrod was KO'd. A B&Q paint
roller donated a very nice piece of chromed steel rod just the right
size! The chain guard was bent but recoverable having done a sterling
job.

Are you in need of any paddock stand bobbins, engine
protectors...anything like that?

 

Please explain

 

Niiice.

Now if only someone would crash a ZZR1200 so I could nick the cams we
could play an interesting game.


I know.....


Judge, as you're posting again will you write your bike off for me
please? Go on, you don't *have* to die or anything and it's all for a
good cause.

 

Nicer ;-)

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on screens, as I shall have to
do similar.

From the pictures, you may have a problem at MOT time - it appears to
be in possession of a pillion seat - but no footrests.

Now that does look like fun, there's a trackday at Kirkistown on Sunday Hog.
Weather permitting its the time the Blade made an appearance.

Latest on the NIP front is they sent me an offer of a speed awareness course
in Warwickshire or £60 & 3 points. Sent my licence and cheque off but had
both returned today with a thanks for your attempted payment but we'll refer
you to our prosecutions dept for court proceedings.

I quite like the look, that 9R front is from a B model and they are
reputed to be one of the nicest set of stock forks ever fitted to a
standard motorcycle.

Snot nice when it falls to bits on it's maiden voyage is it?
Inconsiderate I calls it. Get it fixed and give it a damn good
thrashing within an inch of the edge of it's tyres. You can do it I am
sure.

I'll make a list! Thanks
Now I've made it back I'll post your stuff

'Hog

 

Well it handles and pretty well, damping is a bit hard though.

£3100 on fleabay.
Over the odds for a stocker but IMHO a steal for the cash that this
had spent on it

Cheers mate, be appreciated.

<goes to clear shite from garage>

 

They seem excellent. Needs *proper* brakes though

'Hog

 

Couple of ideas rumbling, I'll let you know

They will return in QD form. Low for girlies and high for m'boy

'Hog

 

Will be in London sadly. Need to get used to it first anyway.

And so it begins

'Hog

 

Certainly isn't. I called the previous to let him know what had
happened. He said "you left my house on the back wheel in the first
three gears WTF do you expect" ;o)

'Hog says...

What's the spacing between the caliper mounting holes...90mm?

 

No idea. I have my ex gixxer callipers of course but I expect they are
the same or similar.

'Hog

 

They do seem like good forks and enough for the frame I expect. Most
importantly on such a bike....the look the part

'Hog

 

*Slight* cost difference methinks so...................don't fookin
tempt me! thoughts of AP's are making me crazy enough already
