[analogue_rogue]

[He11cat]

looks fab!!! well done.

[analogue_rogue]

this is the one i paid 500 for.. i was about to send you the link hahahahaa

[He11cat]

£500 was a bargain!..
Its a cracking bike..
I wish I had got the £800 one I saw as its a nice colour.
But I was put off as it had no service history.

As it was the one I went for needed lots doing to it .. and got me home then broke down, the back brake lever fell off and was hanging .. so I rode home with no back brake.
Then it was shipped up to Norfolk to be fixed.
I will gradually make it my own as I can't have a bigger bike as I am so short and I went for the most basic bike so touch wood can't go too wrong! I went for carbed model on purpose.
I think its a good base model ... although I wish people would stop flashing their SS's about !!! I would like a little yellow one. But 2 Dukes ... couldn't afford to run two of the wallet drainers!

[analogue_rogue]

hahaha this was offered to me as my mate had had enough of it looking crap and got an r1.. i was going to get a cbr 9 but i took pity on this as i thought to myself i have the time and ability to fix it so why not... although i am a car mechanic really so there are bits i dont know about on bikes lol... i wish there were ore m600s here although i wouldnt say no to an s4r....

[He11cat]

I looked at a baby blade a while ago and stupidly got a kwack.
I like the older blades with beam frame and when its fairing free and exposed.
Someone's got to have an R1 I guess... yawn yawn... bit dull in the looks department.
I am quite happy with my noisy little monster as I am sadly no speed freak and I like carbed bikes.
Also no watercooled faffery!
Good that you saw its potential and rescued it :)

nice, so you went for the standard colors in the end..re the screws, use a blowtorch and get yourself one of this (http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cht526-12pce-drill-screw-extractor-s), drill a hole with the drill bit, put the extractor bit on a electric screwdriver on a low torque, and whet the extractor bites, increase the torque a bit at the time, it should come out.

oh the old stud extractor.. lol.. these are well and truly welded in .. i promise, over all the years i worked on cars and bieks i have never seen a bolt as welded in as this lol.. i dont wanna risk it. but i was looking online and i can get a set of vipers for the biek for 220......... what ya reckon?

[He11cat]

I run stainless vipers on my other bike little stubbies and they sound really nice and still look good after 3 years outside!
I would give Vipers a thumbs up :) not expensive but a nice can for the money.

[analogue_rogue]

i dont want stubbies.. :(

[He11cat]

Mine wasn't stubby .. it had a fight with some cutting equipment! was fine before it was hacked!

You don't need to take the sleeves off to core the cans, (unless you want to shorten them too).
