3TJ Tank mount quick pins?

[Evilchicken0]

When you use the Yam nut you don't need to hold it with an allen key it grips and you just torque the bolt

At least some of the parts are going to be coming, got an update showing the bolt and washer have arrived at the vendor so I think I'm in luck.

Parts are in the mail to me for the rear mount, I've cleaned up the front setup enough that I'm happy for now, I'm going to have a friend make me a nicer pin down the road.

In other news, fired it up today for the first time, it lives! I've got some light plumbing to do, need to find a seat bumper as one seems to have gone on walk about... but it lives!

So, current items to tackle before this bike returns to racing next year:

Missing seat bumper
Quick connect fuel line, quick connect stubbie for draining the tank
Trim bodywork for damper clearance
Longer throttle cables to improve routing options
Repair airbox and get filtration in place, Ram air restoration if possible
Stick coil conversion?
Aluminum radiator?
Improved radiator overflow setup
Breather catch system
Spare/Rain wheels, ideally TZs to drop some weight

The fornt end looks interesting - what's from ?

As far as I know it's stock 92 RR SP. Clamps, fork diameter, brakes all match what the 92 was supposed to have. I don't know what the fender is off of though as the clamp/mount setup doesn't match the parts fiche at all. I suspect it's a BDK creation as it matches a Fizzer on their site: http://www.bdkraceeng.co.uk/Images/FZR4 ... airing.jpg

Ah yes - the sticker made it look like upside downs. You that's a BDK mudgaurd

I hadn't noticed that before, but you're right at that angle the GMD sticker does make it look like I've got something sneaky and USD on the front, cute.

Rear tank hardware arrived today, using the OEM setup means I need to have two allen wrenches to remove the tank compared to the tool-less setup before. The OEM mount is MUCH more secure, I don't have safety poking my tender legs underneath, and you can watch the frame spars tighten up with the bolt so there has to be some impact on handling.

If there is anyone else in the US with a greymarket import, Powersports Plus .com seems to be able to source a good chunk of OEM parts we're not supposed to have access to over here.
