While waiting for Fizzer parts, thought I'd work on the Triumph... Did a repair job on the front mudguard and put it on... Used stuff called RapidFix to glue together.... Seems ok hope it holds until I get another one
Also fiddled with the bar ends, one was broken off when the bike fell over during the Sydney storm when it was parked, just need another countersunk bolt to fit back on...
joined team green today, the zxr250 is now registered , exhaust is a tad loud, will make a vid shortly , it's a stock exhaust but has been drilled out
Race bike no2 got for a steal this one will be for classic racing so I will be making a shopping list and hitting kiffsta Cbr shop for parts lol
applied for import approval to bring in a few pre 89 bikes from the states. cheque cashed friday so in process.saturday put a fenda extenda on the 750 as feet got soaked on way back from the lunatic hotel and fixed? a leak from a metal valve stem seal by dismantlig and coating sealing rubbers in urethane and tightenning up. appears to be fixed.will know in a weeks time.
Pig to get off rubbers like cement vanish every where but nothing a litetek kit three bond and dining room table can't fix
Lowered the SV so I don't need a step ladder, and started pulling down the across. Not sure what I'm going to do with her yet.
@Darren Re the aluminium suspension arms. They may be fine, but regardless of being 7075 or any other grade, aluminium does not have an endurance or fatigue limit. Given enough cycles, no matter how small, it will fail. Of course if the part is over engineered to hell then that would not be an issue because the rest of the bike will rot away before the arms fail. However, looking at the image I do not see an over engineered part. It looks to me like it may have the same cross section as the original part (which is steel or aluminium?) and the design is little more than an elongated hole. Given that the application is quite critical it may be worth a thought.
