Re: Everyones favourite subject - Tyres

Thanks Bill. Its just easier using the Suzuki 17" rears as the only real difference is the actual width of the rim its self. The sprocket carrier, disk, caliper holder and caliper, cushions, spacers and 20mm axle are all the same. I just have to change the rear wheel depending if its SOAR or VR...

Re: Everyones favourite subject - Tyres

Hi Tim. Yes, SOAR allow 18" wheels. The problem is, as always, cost and availability. Its easier just to stick on a 180 and have a chicken strip. Later Suzuki wheels are great as all the sprocket carriers, disks and rear calipers and caliper holders just swap between rims regardless of the widt...

Everyones favourite subject - Tyres

I know this is as contentious as an oil post but…. I’m in the process of building a P3H bike for next year and have been struggling to build it within the rules + the manufacturers recommendations for Tyres and Brakes. The bike will end up being around 180Kg and per the P3H rules the maximum size wh...

Re: New 18" Rubber for Vintage Race Bikes

I actually didn't try to price them. I had been talking to them about Endurance Tires for a P3 bike and they sent those as an option as they fit on skinny rims.

I would imagine that Wayne could get them as he is a Pirelli race tire dealer and I know he can get odd stuff like the Supercorsa TD's.

New 18" Rubber for Vintage Race Bikes

It seems to be either feast or famine with vintage 18" tyres. Pirelli have launched a new line of 18" racing rubber for vintage race bikes. It's the spec tire for CRMC, Classic TT and Classic Europe Endurance Cup. Those all used to be AVON. I believe its the same SC1 and SC2 compounds that...

Re: 6 piston calipers - 1996 GSXR750

Thanks Bill. I haters that from a few people at the sho that the 4 pistons actually work better.

Sounds like a plan. I just didn’t want to change the fork or fork bottoms as well

6 piston calipers - 1996 GSXR750

I'me very confused, maybe someone could do me a kindness and help me out The rule book says that 750 GSXR's up to 1998 are allowed - "Suzuki: RG500 all years, GSXR750 to 1998 (SRAD allowed no FI)" I've also been told that 6 piston calipers and not allowed in P5 However the 1996 GSXR750 cam...

Re: Looking for a Source for Points

CMSNL have them but the price is mental (maybe that’s what points cost now)

https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-mt125-elsin ... E++06.html

But I would think if they have them any Honda dealer could get them.

Re: Looking for a Source for Points

Maybe a little more than you want to spend but its better than messing around with 50 or 60 years old electrics

Re: Armour Bodies

Brilliant. That explains when you are redirected to Woodcraft.

I still think this is the best stuff you can get. Canadian made as well.

Re: Board Software Replacement

Yes, don't worry about that. They are trying to sell hosting services to companies. We would probably just stick it in AWS ourselves The software is free and opensource. We also have the ability to change it as long as we contribute the changes back to the project. There would be a cost for hosting ...

Re: Board Software Replacement

Yes. The two hot ones at the moment are Discord and Discourse. One is based more on a board construct while the other is more of a collaborative construct like a lightweight Slack.

Board Software Replacement

This is just a discussion only. I'm not going to make any changes without agreement. The software for this board is quite old and its not really supported any more. I can keep it running as I have access to all the source code to make updates (I just had to make a change for a security vulnerability...
