Hi,I will be racing for the 1st time a 95 cbr steelie over on the isle of man uk, does anyone know how to make a quick action throttle instead of buying one over the counter?this is racing on a budget,I'm toying with the idear of using a mx throttle any one done this mod? Also anyone raced a cbr ? And what tyres did u feel were the best, much thanks the Dog

 

HRC used to make a 1/4 turn throttle for these.Dunno where to look.

I race an F3.What do you wanna know? I don't know it all,but I know quite a bit.

I'm a contract rider with Bridgestone.What tires you using now?

 

I seen a hrc one somewere for our bikes and it was ridiculously expensive, i been thinking about geting a standad VFR 400 NC30 throttle and modifiying that, when i got my old vfr it had a QAT allready fitted and i think on the vfrs its just a few cheap bits to replace inside the Switchgear.

As for tires pirelli diablo supercoarsers, race tuning garages will usually do you a partworn set for £100 fitted and there unlike any tires i've ever used before.

 

I have always had pirellis for my road bike gixter k5 1000 and haven't had anyprobs with them,so I reckon I'll probably stick with them for the steelie,I was shocked due to the sizes how expensive they were, I'm getting good bhp at the back wheel 108bhp with a tuned flowed head set up by foggys ol mechanic slick bass,handling will be thing to adress now, how far have u put the forks through the yolks to quicken up the steering?love to get some lightweight wheels for the right money too.any other tips for rear shock? Any other Honda shock bolt straight in?for better handling? Thanks again the Dog

A universal steering damper

dont drop the forks threw very far only a couple of mil in my opinion


As for the rear just get your gas changed and get a new spring on it will do the job fine and will save you hundreds over swapping it out the suspension on these bikes are acutally top notch for there time.


and get some racing rearsets or some plates to lift the standed pegs up as i seem to allways scraping my pegs before i put some jack up plates on the pegs.

 

Ill do just that, got a mate who races says I can have some rearsets he's got in the shed,nice streetfighter by the way,if u type alex skyrme in google under images u should see my streetfighter a 98 r1 like all things mechanicle i've blown that one up drag racing, thanks again The Dog
