cbr steelie (track slag)

If you can buy them for that price and there good then carry on I buy 40 sets at a time and pay £65 lol I sell em for £75

 

yea, they tend to do us for 2 track days for a good set, if we get the odd bad set its 2 sets a days, so we always take to sets each to a trackday

 

Have to be honest I never get the bad sets there all mint and have done very little

 

i think we get one bad set in 20, but we are normally getting road tyres, only get about 7 sets of slicks. its rare for a set to go, but when they do, just start sliding. always on the rear, probally would reduce wear on them if suspension was set up correctley.

 

Yeah that's what I found but only after Rick pointed out that KTM have their race settings under the seat DOH!!!!

We've just booked Almeria with focused events in Dec so looking forward to that an saving my pennies

 

sweet, i always fancied doing a foreign track day, think i am going to save some cash and have a look at doing one early next year, need to upgrade a few parts first.

 

I turned 40 a few days ago and lots of nice people gave me money, so it's paying for half the track day

 

finally started to do some work on her tonight, sanding fairings down, got some filler and some fibreglass repair kit.
got a huge list of things to do over the winter.
just can't decide weather to buy new pistons or not?
was thinking of a complete engine refresh, but too much work tbh.
tappets need adjusting, i know that much.
frame is going to get blasted and sprayed.
need to find a cheap exhaust, then i can get chopping, either underseat or bellyban?

 

finally started to do some work on her.
been taking my time sanding down fairings and repairing, so far only 2/3rds way through, belly pan and seat unit sorted.
just top peice to go.
just waiting on some funds to pay for parts for the rest of it.

 

fairings all sanded and partial repaired, will be finished after christmas.
got quite a bit of stuff to put on ebay to raise some more cash.
been quoted around £200 for rear shock to be overhauled, with all interals replaced and set up.

 

just come back from http://bikebits4u.vpweb.co.uk/ with a new rear set and a clip. and a litre of fork oil all for £25.
local breakers wanted £40 just for bar and clip on.

 

quick update, did a few hours tonight.
new fork oil went, old stuff was green.
new clip went on, and move ignition switch.
also got a new set of wheels today

 

been a bit bored over christmas, so decided to get the new dremel out and angle grinder.
this is how it started


and after a few hours:



its not completley finished yet, a bit more sanding to do, and some new paint.
just ordered a new clutch, collected new forks and brakes and a spare wheel set.
things are starting to move again

 

Are u going to have a dabble at Racing a the 3 Sisters next year? or just more track days.

 

going to have a dabble at 3 sisters next year and maybe 1 or 2 round at mallory.
been doing some more work on her tonight.
fitted new forks, new front wheel and new brakes. all pretty easy.
going to do some work on back end tomorrow, and more work on plastics.

 

got a spot this weekend to get fairings sprayed, so got a bit of work to do.
its all coming together slowly, just waiting on a few bits now.
clutc, rear set, crash protection, exhaust, clip ons, new throttle, new kill switch.
shouldn't take too long once all the stuff is bought. just got to sell some things on ebay.

 

We need Pics :thumbsup:

spoke to mechanic, he recommended to drain fuel out of tank and carbs and replace.
if that doesn't work, check valve clearences.
did some work on back end removing 2 lugs which had been threating to come through fairings.
finally got round to wet and drying fairings, got rear end done and top of front fairing. going to fill them tomorrow, and do belly pan.
theres ony a few patches than need filling.
