What is the year of that magazine? That’s a beautiful shot of those guys…

That is an awesome mural of Britten !

@ej90vfrI know that bike. 🤭 and where the hell is your current picture?!

Your car lug nuts don’t have a stake spot. The front axle bolt on your bike isn’t tapered or staked to stay in the axle. on that regard, neither are the rotor bolts. Cinch it down, roll on… I’ve been beating on them for years and never had a problem. I’ll go look again to be sure, the last time I tried to take one off that was staked, was also seized onto the axle

I’m running one from a Ducati, and one from a 1050. They seem to be doing good. I lol at the staking. Honda is the only one that did it.

On the same conversation, the Cush drive and everything eccentric related, is interchangeable as well. Do you should be able to find everything you need fairly quickly

You can also look for a triumph 1050 rear nut. It’s the same size in the 05-09 era. 😉 also, the Ducati 748, 996, 998, 848 all have the same size.

Idaho is the same 30 year…

WOOP woop nice find n fix!

Never done powder coating on any bike, nor bike parts. Those spots, if need to, remove subframe, clean them up, paint, clear, then reinstall. IMO…

If I remember correctly, the v4dreams carb builders, were a family? Mom and the boys were rebuilding carbs as dad either wasn’t able to do it any longer, or passed away. Don’t quote me as it’s been a few years since I heard that…

Pm’d

Yer mah hero lol

Kingslime has a point. Plugs are quicker to diagnose before carbs. Could also be a bad fuel pump. It happens.

Agreed on carb clean and possible rebuild if it’s never been done. It’s almost 30 years old… new is fresh and she’ll thank you

Where in the uk? I know a few people…

I have a set of airtech. They don’t have mounting hardware, so look on ebay for that(mounting hardware) as well.

I’m a dunlop guy as well. I’ve been riding them for decades. Every time I’ve swapped for something else, because of pricing, i regret it, and end up buying dunlops anyway. Arguments with people about tire sizes usually end the conversation. I ride roadsmarts to ntecs, and just cant find anything that is more intuitive in a tire than the dunlops. (Wish I were sponsored for them 😁) i would also check your wheel bearings, and brakes. Sometimes you can have stiction from pads not releasing from the rotors(need pucks popped and cleaned), and sometimes you could have the wrong spacers on the wheels incorrectly, and/or, your spindle is too tight. Tires aren’t the only variable. When weather permits, dig in and check these things out.. good luck and report back. oh ya… some shops also put tires on backwards… just puttin it out there…

I just wanna know whose idea it was for that yellow? I KEEP LOOKING AT IT!

Get some daylight pictures. I love the fact you ‘got your senior pictures done with it!’ Brings a tear to my eyes! Those 3rd gen have a lot of fun qualities to appreciate. That rear wheel looks like it’s peeling (and i truly hope that’s all it is) good job getting her running.

D220 on the cbr?! BLASPHEMY! Lol i ran those on my GIXXER1100 back in the day. Never on my cbrs 😁 i love old tire stories

Thats funny! I just happened upon this while cruising youtube on my lunch time. Pretty good so far!

With Plastic repair, please keep in mind the area in which you do the work. The smoke fumes aren't to be inhaled, and nobody else should be near you. 😁 as for the abs, don't use the solid core. Use the foam core stuff. It gets more pliable, and is easier to use. I've never used the acetone trick. I may try that. Good luck. From the sounds of it, YOU are ok. Nice job on bein a ninja😁

I lol on longer rides. How long of a ride are you talking? grip opinions are like tire opinions. I'm a tried and true dunlop guy. Have been for over 20 years. these grips are what i put on all my bikes, and my kids bikes, they both ride cbrs. https://ebcbrakes.com/products/galindo-grips/
