I've emailed him a while ago, but more good publicity can't hurt! My '87 had been down for years. I needed parts to fix 2nd gear, then more parts (it had been hard raced in Japan........), then more parts, etc, etc, etc. Sean was always there with bits or advice, but really the bike ended up...

Gday all. We had our first round in our season yesterday. I was working, but a mate needed a ride for the first meet. His 1640 Katana was still waiting on assembly with the new billet block, his son's GSXR750 longbike still isn't ready from the off-season (something about me not completing his...

Gday all. I emailed Sean about a 'Busa caliper for the brake upgrade I'm planning, he replies "Yep, leave it with me", then today less than a fortnight later a little black Tokico 6pot turns up at my local Post Office for me to collect. In case that sounds like a bit longer than you would...

OK, I know most prefer the 17" front for a much greater range of tyres, especially radials. But personally, I prefer the cruiser/muscle bike look, and having bumpy roads also prefer the ride quality of the taller tyre. 110/90x18 is 654mm, 120/70R17 is 599mm, so 2" shorter. I started looking at...

Gday all. My engine is out, the trans is off to one side (*sigh*), and what do I find? Yep, mains are just through to the copper, the rod bearings have a "hot-spot" smack in the centre, and although on a quick inspection the crank journals look really nice, I haven't mic'd them or checked...

Gday all. It's been a while since I've said hi daily, but work/family/house, you know how it goes. I'm finally getting around to the 2nd gear jump deal, engine will be stripped tommorrow hopefully, getting ready for next season's racing.....in between work/family/house! And yes, back-cuts, etc...

Gday all. I like making stuff for my bikes. If it isn't any good, doesn't work, or is just plain shite :biglaugh:, then I do it again, keeps me amused. I wanted a proper 4into1, mainly because I reckoned it would sound cool, partially because my standard exhaust needed replacing, and I was...

My merge collector is coming along fine, but won't be ready for the "BIG MEET" in 6 weeks time. I noticed on the last street meet when next to a loud screamer 600 that it was difficult to hear my bike, so I know that when next to a long-bike with a meg I'll be deaf in no time! I had thought of...

Gday all. I ran my stock 1987 model last March, literally 60km after I bought it (as you do.....). That's when I found out the V-boost didn't work, the front brake didn't hold it still very well in the water, and my 2nd gear jumps very occasionally. Oh well. Still, she did 12.4 @ 105 with easy...

Gday all. Not new to bikes, but yes finally, after seeing one brand new (when they were released.......damn I'm old!) and wanting one ever since, I now finally have the '87 model of my favourite hotrod.:worthy: Just thought I'd say hi before boring all and sundry with stoooopid questions you...
