Will have a play with the wheels when they get here, 160 will be fine for me.

Kais did all the work on the forks.

Dash is a real bargin in my eyes, was going to pay 4 times as much for a Translogic and this is miles easier to set up. Well need to check all works once can fire up the old girl.

The rear PVM, is that a RC30 fitment 5.5" or have you special ordered them

Ask the man above ;)
Quite possibly 5.5 as its possible to run a 180 rear on these with a spacer, well thats if their the same sizes as the PVM's i had off michael.

Those forks do look dead trick, who done the coating on em? Dash is :drool: too, for the money theres nothing better out there.

On the track it is better to run a 165 slick. All 250 race bikes have a 165 race tyre on a 5,5" wheel. I only use a 180 slick when i get them really cheap.
To use a 160 or 165 tyre is better for a 400cc race bike.

Yep, nearly all Oz racers use 165 slicks on the standard 4.5" rear wheel, not a perfect match but it works better than treaded (DOT) tyres.

That's exactly how I'd like a set of rvf forks to look.

Any idea on how much lighter the tyga lower triple clamp is than a stock one?

Nice build Aly.

Dunlop,Pirelli and Bridgestone require the 5,5" for a 165 slick. I think 5,25" or 5,0" will work but
4,5" the tyre is very round.

My mistake, that is right. Pirelli don´t make a 165 slick.
