Bike Plan Over Winter - What ya gonna do like
Discussion
Sort out GSXR1000K8 track bike running issue and sell it. Injectors are being ultrasonically cleaned and put on a flow meter later this week hopefully.
Big service (48k) on the R1, stick some free secondhand Metz Z8's on it and use it when the weather's not too bad. I probably go out for more road rides during the winter than the summer.

You still doing that?? blade7 said:
Been there, done that, I wouldn't bother.
Why not? I want to be able to fit my favoured tyres rather than having a selection of about two half decent ones. The handling is ok with the 16", but it would be pretty much impossible to put the 16" front on the 954 forks.Edited by Mr2Mike on Tuesday 6th October 19:00

Thinking the same - a lot more "accessible" than spanking a days holiday and couple hundred quid on a track day every time.
At least over your way open areas are easier to get to as well.
Aye I have 4 tracks within about 10 min of my house. Although I need to find out if you pay and play or if they are just used for racing which sadly I think 3 of them are. Im sure there must be plenty of green lanes around here to. At least over your way open areas are easier to get to as well.

Are you talking 900rr I assume? If you find out would you mind PM'ing me as it'll save me the hassle of doing the work.
I'm thinking the yokes and forks from a 954 should just slot in... shirley?
Yep, the entire 929/954 front end bolt bolts straight on, even the steering lock works. However I don't want nasty 3 spoke wheels. The easiest fix is the front wheel from an SP1 (if you can find one) which matches the rear, but I fancy something a bit different and I love the Marchesinis.I'm thinking the yokes and forks from a 954 should just slot in... shirley?
Also people say the 1000RR forks fit too which opens the option of radial brakes, have to use 929/954 yokes mind.
Plenty to think about...

You still doing that?? It's a slow slow project. Doesn't help that we're now rebuilding the garage & half the stable to get enough storage space to empty the kitchen out so we can fit ceilings etc, up till now the kitchen has been the workshop for everything I make for the house.
Making fireplace surrounds out of sleepers etc means things take a lot longer then buying stuff.
