Re: Winter Workshop

Being honest I thought it abit excessive lads pulling standard masters for RSC's and then I started racing. Rcs19 and rc pads was such a change. 2 + sets a season. Sur look worth it to outbrake anyone

You sure this is going to be a track bike?
 
Re: Winter Workshop

Good point and funnily thats what Tam Brown said lol.. but there's method in the madness.

Yea I'm keeping it road legal Rob, it hadn't been well looked after the more I looked at it... so ended up going round the whole bike.

The charachteristics of the bike right out the factory make it track worthy added to that the front forks are sprung and worked by MCT within 5kg of my weight as is that back Penske Shock, receipts show this... the guy was about 5'9 so a good bit smaller than me but similar weight.

I've a spare pair of wheels for sticky tyres, whipping out front pads is a dawdle, the lines, front calipers and M/C and now discs are all upgraded, I'll modify the rear end so's I can quickly unplug the indicators and remove the plate, mirrors take a few mins to remove...I'll get it MOTd (when allowed)... if I tried selling this as an out and out track bike the value immediately plummets as does my market, other than the headlights showing it'll be well track capable..I'll use it on the road from time to time and get some fun out of it rather than it sitting idle, just hedging my bets mate..

Re: Winter Workshop

Made a back and front of it earlier... snapped this mount off inner fairing..and remembered I bought this plastic repair kit a few years ago.... holy **** is it good or what... I forgot to take the after pics and it's now fitted but it worked better than expected.

Its simply a grey and or black powder that you fill a hole with or in this case poured into each of the three slotted ribs... pour super glue onto the powder and wait 7 seconds...rock solid !... superb !

Re: Winter Workshop

That stuff looks the bollocks, need to get some for those get me out a hole situations that always come up in the garage
 
Re: Winter Workshop

In fact I've got an R1 radiator in the loft that the over flow nipple has snapped off on. That stuff looks idea for repairing that. Can you tell I'm bored yet
 
Re: Winter Workshop

Good stuff indeed Stuart!
There is another product out there called Q bond. Does exactly the same. I highlighted this a couple of years ago on here after I?d repaired a couple of fairing panels for friends. I?ve done a few more since then, again with perfect results.
It?s got to the point that I actually like repairing fairing panels and their fixings now!
 
Re: Winter Workshop

It's great stuff, never seen your post RR.. I guessed there were other brands out there, I think Supafix may actually be rebranded Q Bond now, looks exactly the same kit.

Re: Winter Workshop

Bikes taking shape...slowly. those R1 calipers are a bit of a challenge, the lead pistons are smaller than the trailing, my pliers are too big so had to resort to compressed air and jiggle the small ones out... the seals are really deep in the body
