  1. I used a piece of 25mm OD aluminium pipe from bunnings (home depot/lowes?) and 2 short sections of 25mm id hose to connect it on my 5th, before I did the front mount.
  2. Cheers mohawk- i had a feeling they were mostly the same.
  3. Mohawk, what year gsxr 750 gaskets, or are all the same?
  4. Yep, its why i have a delk and custom link pipe and can, not a glorious, custom, hand made setup.
  5. I know a couple places in sydney that could do it- not mass production, but one offs.
  6. I did a trackday on thursday, then a weekend ride with some of the ASF guys through the mountains. No clearance issues with my new rearsets, but i did scrape my sidestand a couple of times at the track.
  7. I did a trackday on thursday. My footpegs dont scrape any more, rearsets are awesome. I did manage to scrape my fireblade side stand. Not sure how i can make that higher. Take it off after the ohlins goes in.
  8. And gus, if you've already done the shock and rearsets, you dont need the centre stand anymore. Lose the weight.
  9. Sebspeed adapfors and sato copy rearsets
  10. Finally mounted mine. I also managed to use the oem brake light switch because the pressure switch wouldn't fit on my gsxr master. I just made a simple L bracket and used an M4 bolt to hook the spring onto.
  11. Front mount!
  12. A gixxer front end will fix that right up.
  13. I loved that "unleash" thread. Grum, I'm using an antigravity in my 5th gen fighter (so is seb, actually). I've had mine sit for months and it still starts on the first stab of the button, crisp and clean. I put an oyek one in my MT09 as the original one died a few months before I sold it. It made a light bike feel even lighter.
  14. I put a lithium battery in my 5th gen. I noticed the difference, too. Already had lightweight wheels.
  15. 162,000ks on my 5th gen. I bought it with 150,000, and turned it into a fighter. Just changing the water pump now, changed the reg rec, apart from that, all good.
  16. I am also glad this forum helped push to get the wiring harness made. I love my RB evo.
  17. I'd bring the seat up and forward so the tail light finishes at or before, the back tyre. The wheel base should be longer than the seat IMO. If you match the curve of the seat to the curve of the tank, how does it sit? My 2000vfr has a 2008 ninja 250 seat and subframe. We just slid the seat along the tank until the curves lined up, and it all looked good.
  18. there are so many common earths on this bike- re do the earth block, and it should sort it. electricity doesn't know what colour the wire is, it just follows the path of least resistance. When there is a small fault in the earths, power will backfeed and makes some things light up when it shouldn't. Give the electricity an easy negative path (battery or frame) and it follows it. My old DRZ400SM used the dash neutral light as a common earth. when I changed to LED indicators, it used to light up faintly with the indicators, too.
  19. So glad you finally put this up here. Bloody brilliant, mate.
  20. Mine are still in a box on the shelf, because, well, life. Keep making stuff, seb- custom parts are sometimes paid for with skinned knuckles installing them. I'll happily pay that price.
  21. I agree with FJ12.
  22. Went for a ride with my brother the other day, me on the VFR, and him on his tuono. He took the VFR for a spin. Great feedback an how it felt, considering the tuono is a benchmark. His first comment was it sounds ANGRY. Not bad for a gentleman's sports tourer. Now, I'm 85kgs, and hang off the bike. He's 20kgs heavier, doesn't hang off, just leans the bike. A lot. He dragged the loop, so I had a new link pipe made up yesterday. Bye Bye, loop the loop, hello ground clearance. And since I have a rapid bike, it'll just remap itself if it needs to. I'm enjoying this bike more and more - good to 6Krpm, fun to 8K, and really quick from 8K.
