    I think the rider needs higher pullback risers

    Thanks Devo, just used the basics that you sold me a while ago.....
    Yeah the young fella was a bit concerned about them when he couldn't reach them.... but i guess he will have to settle for a little fifty or something a bit later on...
    And i don't want to go there with the dint int he 750.... put what i thought was a good reliable rider on the bike and he puts it down on the first corner in a race. and so whilst still being in denial and refusing to accept what he did i am putting it all together agian to make it all work properly....like it used too.

    Finally here are a few shots of me racing it,

    As usual one of my good starts and then the usual happens from here on in, I would like to say i lead the pack and make a break, but more like i hold the pack up and slowly lose touch.......

    It is all great fun tho.

    I like the Knob in full Yoshi GSXR leathers on a ZXR.
    Did you pinch his bike?

    Yeah i am not sure how the hell they race with the clear visors......
    I spent hours in front of mirrors just to get the right look, they obviously don't have full length mirrors in their sheds.... [:I]

    Yeah we all hung shit on him for it, he was racing a superstock gsxr600 but saw the light and came back to the new era class, although that is one of the superbike races.

    As i promised a bit of an update on the bike, and what is done to it.

    I got the bike from Devo, another lost member, a few years back. was a pretty good runner then.
    Got it home played with it a little bit, just cleaned things up.
    Any way i layed it over in one race and nipped up the bottom end when it starved of oil so a rebuild was wanted.
    A strip of the motor showed it had a ported head, 6 speed close ratio box, not standard ratios, and a cable modified 1100 clutch.
    Not a lot else. The bottom end hadn't scored the crank so a new set of bearings and back together.
    It was running a Fox TwinClicker shock and who knows what in the forks.
    Got a hold of a bargain on Ebay, a set of Marvics and an Ohlins Shock, not ride height adjustable tho. So in they went.
    A bit more cash and i sent the forks away and got them revalved with the ohlins. Back together and racing.
    Another lowside and lack of money so i put it in the shed for a while.
    So I thought time for another overhaul.
    New Fairings, Front brace, Dyna 2000 ignition.
    Complete strip and powder coat the frame and Swingarm Satin Black. Fit up a heat shield for the Carbs and set up a total loss igniton, and rewire it.
    I got a mate to do up some stickers based of a race bike i got in from the states, and painted the fairings myself.
    Got it all togehter and thought it was looking pretty good.
    Went racing and everything behaved well and i was moderatley fast, bonus!
    Anyway got a Yoshi Air box from one of the members on here and fitted up a set of 38mm flatslides i had kicking around, and put in a fully adjustable Ohlins shock. I also bought a Mychron 4 Dash and Data logger.
    Went out again and on a new track comparing myself to the other New Era guys that are racing(Ducati F1, Cbr900, ZXR) I am about 4 Seconds off the pace, but i think it is not too bad as it was about a year off the bike between rides.
    Things i want to finish on it are the Exhaust, it sits very low and hence the reason why the Belly Pan got chopped up. I think it is of a 1127 motor, and i am running a 1052.
    I want to stuff around with a few different types of motor rebuilds, big bore 750's, to try and put the height of the motor down a bit, maybe get a fuel cell going rather than the steel tank, and try and improve oiling to the head and the whole oil cooling setup. Thinking a couple of oil coolers, one under the tail and another 2 up front........
    Oh and a quick shift kit, i am sure there is a heap of other stuff but it is not too bad at the moment, i should probably just get out and race it.
