Re: Track bike build'08,'09, winter changes '10
Well that makes two of us then, im sure we can sort it. Aly clip ons eh, they are next on my list of wants. When do you need the frame? Im swopping out my frame for the powder coated one at some point. All numbers are in tact but no V5. Yours if you want it?tanuki wrote:Mate I'm going to need your help when it comes to swapping over a swingarm as I've never done it.

RVF master cylinder is 14mm, you need 5/8" for the later bigger calipers or you will have spongey brakes with too-long lever travel.tanuki wrote:I'm going to swap the SP1 calipers that are on the NSR and use them with the standard RVF M/C

VTR calipers serviced and fitted, brakes bled but might have a leaky nipple

If you are refering to the bleed nipple then get some white plumbers thread tape. Works wonders for about a buck.

I would assume so as I've done it a bunch of times in the past and doesn't leak.

Well with Donington a week away im still awaiting some prolite discs i won on ebay and the SBS sintered pads ive ordered. Fitted new iridium plugs though, so fingers crossed these other bits turn up asap. Need to drill and fit a fibreglass front mudguard then should be ok to test.
