Went out to CBA Engineering AKA Anderson Stands. Had this installed

Same here. My cursor has a mind of its own. Specially when quoting or editing before posting. Sometimes I just give up or not even attempt in the first place.

[Marshy]

I'm confused Tristan; what is the front stand doing there?

[Tristan]

What do you mean Nick ??

[Marshy]

Excuse my ignorance but what is the purpose of the ring?

Any sharp edge must have a minimum of 3mm beading on it, so as not to cut you. That's from memory of the GCRs.

What do you mean Nick ??

There's a red front Anderson stand at the front wheel that doesn't look like it's holding up the forks; nor does it look needed, because the wheel chock is holding the bike. Just wondered what it's for.

Ahh yes of course. Came across that one when trying to work out a shark fin pre-Round 5&6.

[Tristan]

Yeah nick it's just sitting there doesn't do any thing storage lol

how come you put the OEM back in? Did you have a problem with the H&M?

Dash works fine..but after chatting with UK techies I need to install rear wheel sensor.
Couldn't be stuffed right now, therefore up for sale if interested.
$250.00 ono.

Is it universal? Maybe my Suzuki?

[chubb]

He has translogic. Not HM

Ahh my mistake, someone here put one on recently I'm sure of it. I've had a few issues with mine that's why I was hoping to compare notes with someone else.

[chubb]

whats wrong with yours?

[senator8]

Went to see my sponsors Protech Motorcycles for some dyno fine tuning. Outstanding work and great guys to deal with. Dom the owner is ex PTR and real perfectionist. Notice things like rags on the tie down points. That's Damien and Alex Cudlin's bikes in the background, and their family own a bike shop, so says something.

Highly recommended, and I'm not easy to please

[Saturnalian]

Well the acrylic rattle can booth has been doing a great job of not covering everything else in my lockup with spray dust.
I can't say the same for not covering myself.
One more fairing to rub the primer back on and into the paint job we go....

Chroming heaven ... you should sell tickets ...

[Saturnalian]

Those days of selling things for other peoples enjoyment.....
Long over.

[senator8]

Is that your lock up at West Gosford?

[Saturnalian]

Yes. Are you in it now ?
Or are you just playing clever spot the difference games

[senator8]

Just thought it was a good halfway place for my shit. Better than an hour off the freeway to your place

[Saturnalian]

Im closer now. Moved to Davistown. On 3 acres. I'll set up a tent in the backyard for you

Room in there soon

The rebuild begins!


I have fitted my danmoto clipons (never buying again)
Renthals,
New brake reservoir
Bled brakes
Bent rearsets into shape until new ones arrive
And installed a QS
now I only need a fairing stay (ordered) mid pipe (ordered) and a set of slicks and I can go back on track

[Marshy]

You didn't consider giving the engine etc a bit of a wash down, so you can check for damage? It's filthy in that first photo!!

Otherwise it's looking great! Often what looks like a total wreck turns out to not be so bad....

Good work. Keep us updated

blow nozzle on the compressor
haven't washed the bike fully, but I pulled the airbox out and cleaned before I started it

[Tristan]

Decided to deck the Van out.

Installed one of Marshys Annitori Quick Shifters on the CBR today.Holy cow its like riding an automatic.Flat changes without backing off.Amazing little device.Had to take the side fairings(its a roady) and the airbox off to get to the plug top coils which is always a good patience tester when putting it back together as those bitchy little clips and saddles never go back in the way they came out.Thought i might have been able to get away with getting at it by just removing the airbox but nope.Hooking the QS itself up was the easy part.No wires to cut, plug and play
Big thanks to Nick for supplying on short notice on Friday and for the advice today Cheers mate

I'm looking forward to playing with one of these combined with a race shift pattern.

Let me know how you go with hooking such modern technology to our old steam engines!

Thanks Tony; glad you're happy with it!

Look forward to catching up again soon

[tempest]

finally installed QS on my bikes.
Very easy install. Can't wait to try at Rnd 1.
Thanks Marshy.

[Marshy]

Thanks Marshy.

Anytime, mate

[chubb]

You will love it.

I always thought I didn't need a quick shifter but now that I have one I can't live without one!

[Marshy]

Installed Phat3r's quickshifter, and serviced his shock and forks. The rear shock was ugly inside!

Wow, I bet mine is the same :(

[Mr.Ed]

When I got mine done at the end of 2012 it looked pretty much like that too... and that was on a 09 bike with less than 8000Kms, 99% of them on the road

I'm really scared now...

I'm pretty sure that shock had never been opened ... in 13 years ... Yeah does make you wonder about state of suspension on road bikes ... but then sane people are not riding around the streets at 200+kph with their knee down (well not for very long) ... my guesstimate would be 80% of road only bikes still have chicken strips (which is probably a good thing).

And track bikes. It's the old boiling-a-frog-slowly syndrome - the suspension gets soooo slowly and progressively worse that you simply don't notice.... until it's fixed and then it's unbelievably different. If you could somehow ride your own bike from 5 years ago right now (time machine?), you'd be amazed at how different it feels.

For me, when I jumped on an almost-new R6 for some laps, it was a revelation! OEM suspension, when recently serviced, feels awesome! Virtually as good as uber-exxy aftermarket suspension, but much easier to tune and live with. People get sold up the garden path with needing "Ohlins", when really they just need a service, and maybe a revalve/respring.

It's the equivalent of never servicing your engine, then complaining that it's running like total crap (no horsepower, sounds terrible, hard to start), then proposing that the solution is to buy a brand new full-blown supersport engine, eg from Graves: https://www.gravesport.com/Team-Grav...c-Engines.html, instead of an oil change and new air filter and spark plugs.

How thoughtful ... sparkling Chardy in a rear shock ... to think I've been relying on that to keep the rear tyre in contact through T1 ...

That QS looks vewy sexy ... T2 / T3 is going to become fun again.

[Baddie]

Picked up new trailer....time to customize.
