Well that's why people were not a big fan of Athena 170 kit because of the extra weight causing additional vibrations...

Always wanted these heel plates but sadly they were no longer being made when I was building mine.

Happy then, when I saw TYGA were manufacturing these. Again the quality is as you'd expect from TYGA... Utterly flawless.

Pleased to actually have the period correct heel plates for my bike in stunning carbon fibre. Thanks TYGA!

P.S. Make more carbon for my bike 😛

Sadly I badly injured my back at work a few months ago, so I've been unable to do any work on the bike since the injury. My back is getting much better now so hopefully I'll be able to restart working on this project again real soon.........

@Minia yes, my spare one..if they sell they sell or I'll just keep them 🙂

Once again, many thanks

@mhbikesnbits 🤣 🤣 🤣 Reusuable? Sounds like they're better for the planet.

Dude that YSS shock is lovely! I might have to sort myself out with one of those.

@pedrobatista10 I'm sorry to hear that. BMW550d sounds nice though. At least you're still alive and breathing and it is good to hear from you.

Maybe one day you can get an adapted shifter two stroke kart and enjoy that 😛

@oldman Personally I would return the damaged one straight away.

@vtrn_raptor I got one of those Cyclone alarms, which is perfect for my use case.

A full paid tracker system can really save your bacon.

It was nice, but after four years I developed chronic neck and wrist problems from the seating position. These days I ache if I so much as look at a sportsbike.

@donaldmendez
Thanks, it didn't take anyway near as long as I thought to get it up and running. I've just been doing some final touches.
I'm going to ride this one on nice days 🙂
Here's how she stands now.

@Calum I’ve been hovering around, admiring the good work here

@finchfocker I myself just bought the DCCDIP1 race. Seems like a great unit, just programmed myself a ignition map to start off with, hopefully I'll get a chance to plug her in soon!

Well they had done superbly well...

I knew they need doing eventually. These were 10+ years old when I bought them and this has been my trusty steed for ~10+ years, once daily then stored for 4 years now just a weekend warrior.

Painless process to strip and rebuild and the kits are readily available on eBay.

alt text

All cleaned, rebuilt, new oil and refitted.

alt text

These are fully adjustable and I must admit, have just been on whatever setting they came with off the MX bike I bought them from. Since this is a road warrior, I've stiffened the suspension up a fair amount. I'll be interested in seeing how this now performs on the road!

The last ride out I did ~70 odd miles, the handling was becoming very poor. So I'm looking forward to the next adventure on it.

Or the Tizzer?!…

Which would benefit and suit it more?…

Imageworks did them for me, have been really helpful doing most of my graphics. Much better than Facebook ones, good quality comparable to genuine.

@calum I've ordered a crank now I'll see what I end up with

@louis-james Don't know about TZR cylinders.

But

3MB
3MBP
4FU
Are bolt ons.

The 3BN has a slightly bigger bore, so shorter stroke, as a result, a 3MB con rod will bit too long.

Norwp, I needed to make sure that I could physically mount it to the radiator aswell.
But thanks for your concern 😂

@darty Ideal for you to get on the restoration vibe 😄
