Welcome home sweetheart :-)

New (used) engine and gearbox, full top and bottom refresh (big end shells, cam chain, rod bolts, piston rings, main shells, oil pump rotor, plugs, gaskets (kit), oil strainer and labour for two engine strip downs) prior to fitting, fueling setup on Dyno Pro by Phil Seton ..169bhp @11900 rpm and 85ft/lb or torque @8K rpm -- couple of BHP up on the old motor from 5K onwards :-) Now wheres the sunshine !

Lovely looking bike, and some impressive modifications. Did Scobby17 have the same problem?

After seeing your vids and photos, I don't think I'm gonna see which way you went, when we get to Almeria.yikes

Some impressive cars in the background too.

I remember him having some sort of gear box problem ... cant recall what though.

Cant complain it had nearly 50 trackdays under its belt before it went bang at 160 ;-)

Went to book almeria and all the advanced group are sold out !? Checked with Karen by email so awaiting news if theres a "squeeze me in" option :-)

well if you need any bits at very very reasonable prices that are race proven, try

www.ermaxuk.co.uk

i know the owner very well (i should do, its my dad) and they supply half the bsb grid including hawk kawasaki, astro vans superstock kwaka and he has good bits for the zx10......

im not plugging it for familys sake but the amount of teams/journos/general public that use the stuff speaks for itself..........



(after all rossi, edwards, lorenzo, jt, guintoli,elias, capirex, and most of the bsb grid are the test team for the products....)

That's not bad 50 track days, my Honda's done around 30, I'm keeping it next year, and hopefully moving onto something bigger the year after.

Hope you can get booked mate.
