Anyway while I think about that I decided to cut up my Y connector for my R1 zorst so I can get it to fit nice around my swing arm.
I marked it up and cut out the bits I dont need. |

neat job chopping that y piece down mate, nice work, you should treat your self to a little hobby welder to sort that out, i'm sure you'd find other uses for it too,

I like your thinking mate but it looks as though your rings need aligning, one's further forward than the other, Maybe it's just the photo? Not too sure about holding the thing together with filler either.
Keep up the good mate, I like reading your posts, it's like watching an old black and white pommy comedy  |

You wouldnt believe what a fussy fucker I am mate, and I wouldnt let something like that slip past, I think its because the tank is on the piss matey and not bolted into position. I checked and double checked both sides berore fixing. I used the section of steel pipe with thread in the outside so the filler could get a grip, and made sure I went back to metal on the tank so the filler got a good key there too. It did worry me at first the steel rings might not hold but after thinking about it I couldnt see where they could go. Time will tell. Old Pomm black and white what? comedy? lol, do you think its starting to look a bit like a clowns car then matey  .
I might fuck about a bit but I think its important to be able to laugh at your self mate, I have that spelling disorder Dyx...Dis...dix Oh you know the one I'm on about (If I could spell it I wouldnt have it lol) and some times my spelling gets a bit fruity, but so what mate, at least I'm not black.
Its nice to have you pop in now and again mate, let me know when you are about next and we'll pop open a tinny. |

Thanks Mate,
I'm in Harwich Essex, I'm no mechanic and I'm makeing up most of it as I go along. I read everything I can on the subject and have been out and brought Haines manuels for my CBR, VFR Swing arm, and R1 seat unit.
I am learning a huge amount as I go, but unfortunatly I dont know anyone near me into the same stuff so its difficult to talk things over with a mate and get another view on something.
Where ae you matey. |

I had a little think about what you were saying gibbo and decided to reinforce the inside of the rings with a curved filler line, I think it will give a nicer shadow gap once the badge is in and add strength.
Thanks Matey. |

| I'm up on the north coast of ireland, the land of,RAIN, WIND, RAIN & YOU GUESSED IT,,,,MORE FUCKING RAIN,,,Your doing all right there with the build,,,,, i'm an engineer by trade, with 8 years in fabrication, so am lucky in that respect, but one mans poison is another mans pudding, what you like others may not, so the first person you need to please is yourself,one thing too remember,,dont rush or cut corners, you'll end up going over it again, and give yourself more heart ache, do it right first time over, always ends up the cheepest option,and it does help to have a mate too ask some advice, but i dont want too go there just now,,,these lunie's are the best english speaking streetfighter guru's there are on the planet, you wont get better unless your german speaking,,,,,,,ask and it shall be given,,,there's a wealth of knowledge on here, any paint schemes in mind?? |

I'm gonna get Daytona Paints in Colchester to do my paint for me, they quoted me 650 quid, and I quite like the idea of a deep burgundy or the burnt orange on the Ford Focus ST, or perhaps the burgundy with an off set stripe from front to back in the orange. I agree about the get it right thing mate, I was a joiner for 22 years so It taught me to measure twice cut once. That said its all a bit of a learning curve at the moment and as you probably guessed I don’t take myself to seriously. It’s supposed to be fun after all, and as you say mate, I only need to please myself.
I worked in Germany for four years and although my German is not that bad, I do find even though when you talk to a German he or she my reply in broken English, they get a bit critical when you don’t speak grammatically correct in their language. I suppose they 'think' they speak perfect English, and you should speak perfect German, hmmmmmm!
They are a clever bunch of fuckers on here, but I think after all we have done for them, i.e. gave them a whole country, although looking back it was a bit of a mistake. (We should have left them here and fucked of to Oz our selves) Anyway I digress, after giving them a country out of the goodness of our harts, they produce people like Troy Bayliss and Casey Stoner to beat us at a sport we invented in the first place.
Fucking ungrateful if you ask me, and a bit rude!

| I looked at em over the weekend and they are a right angle triangle. Looking at the ones on ebay they seem to be equilateral. By turning the plates round do I assume the long angle will then be at the bottom and not pointing to the rear wheel. A photo would be good matey, and thanks for your help. |

| The distance between the holes are different, it may only be a couple of mm but its enough to make a big differance to the ride hieght and handling ... When i did mine i forgot which way it went on so went for a blast then changed it and did it again till i got it right .. On mine there is an Arrow stamped on the plate and i've got it pointing forward |
