Time someone came up with a metal alternative made from a nut driver or something.

Been burning up the internet today looking for a set of rubber for my 93 - have a set
of shinko's on it that came with rims I got from my old friend Malbo way back.

They're getting down there now and I'm beginning to hate 'em as they are limiting.

Think I'll go with the trusty old Michy PR2's if I can steal a set somewhere for the right
$$$

Found quite the deal on 'em here

wondering if a "c" version would rim up okay tho ! ? Opinions ?

 

Never heard of 'B' and 'C' versions before?? Seems a bit odd to me that they would make a 'sub-standard' version of a tyre, wouldn't have thought it'd be worth the added cost to the manufacturing process.

Enlighten me people.

I'd look at the weight and power specs for the Triumph 1050 Mark and see how close they are to the Cane

 

Hawk - since a 1050 is quite light and the rim profile a little flat - it looks like the C
tyre is a lighter carcass with shallower sidewalls - anyhow - not worth the risk
although I could just return it if it's way off the mark !

 

Well I may have slipped across the border into Victoria to collect a couple of down at heart (and crashed CBR1000Fs). One - an '87 - in Bendigo - where I am at the moment and one - an '91 - in Melbourne tomorrow morning. Can never have too many spares - though I am discovering you can have too little shed space.

Photos to follow

Home again after a 1600 km round trip to Bendigo and Melbourne.

1st bike - an '87 that had been dropped heavily



Not too bad at all......................until you look at the left hand side



Broken bar, fairings wiped off, but very little engine damage.

We stayed in a beautiful manor house (Bed and Breakfast) overnight in Castlemaine and you wouldn't credit it but we had breakfast in the huge dining room with one other couple who stayed there. And they were bikers and rode a 1990 CBR1000F.

2nd bike a '90 with twisted forks and a bent frame and 3 boxes of parts



Tying down the bikes securely for the 700 km drive home.



Nice Gearsack Rack!

Cheers, SB

 

Nice pick up Seb. I have my 92 model parts bike. They are worth their weight in gold. My mate has also benefited from it buying some bits and pieces from me. We should always be looking for bits for these old girls.

 

Looks like you've got the market pretty much cornered there Seb

Yeah, looks like a great looking rack, that I'm sure you'll put to good use.

That MK1 looks fixable though mate, are you sure you can resist the temptation?

 

Agree there Hawk looks like you could paint a big white H on that rack eh ?

Nice hunting there Seb

 

A bit more bling
Adjustable and foldable gold levers from Fleabay


Gold windscreen bolts, also from Evilbay


Tankpad from Tha Bay


One more of the foldable lever

 

Gotta love those levers man!

Where'd you get 'em and how much?
