Hi bud... It should work as it's very similar to the mod I did to my own bike.I too used a Magura slave except I went for a Braketec lever assembly which is also a 10 fitting.... Mounting the slave needs to be carefully done to centre the body and an idea on how to mount it.I opted to build up...

I've seen these bike on the 'bay also....I was browsing for engines,which are rising too,and came across them... The reworked bike is nice but 12k??....its the same for other brands where people stick a flat seat on top,dropped bars and wrapped exhausts and sell it as a unique cafe racer!! As...

Yep,little feckers out of there..I'm not having that cause me ant harm 😄

Yep..removed the drive shaft and a slightly more robust o ring has halted the weep for now...although the shaft may go back in as I may fit a cable driven tacho as opposed to the electronic one I'm using... I'll add it to the winter list 😄

No,not really....it's still performing poorly but I do have an idea about changing the brake lever for better leverage or rather the pivot position but that's a winter job... OK,so I've put a few miles on the bike now and I already have changes to make.It was always an unknown when I first...

Very nicely put together.Good attention to detail.

Today I decided to modify my 'new' exhaust system due to the right side touching tarmac on right hand bends...a little re-routing with not much space to work with made for few options. I ended up with this configuration which is growing on me...at least I can lean the bike to the right now. I...

So...I've sorted the oil filter weep using a thicker oil resistant rubber gasket but now I have an annoying leak from the tacho drive boss..I have a tacho delete cap fitted but the oil is coming from the steel insert itself.I have replaced the o ring twice now yet it still leaks..any tips?

Update on the master cylinder affair,just in case anyone else has a similar issue but it seems I've been an idiot but I won't know for sure until another replacement comes through the post. I did buy another but needn't have bothered..it seems I made a mistake while searching for parts...

Just returned from Cadwell racetrack...Got soaked to the skin although it's sunny at times..My gloves are dripping and my boots now make a rude noise as you walk 😆😆

Cheers for the replies guys...I haven't had chance to check the news pads out but you can definitely tell they are softer.. As for the master,it's bore size is 1/2" the same as a standard yz250 one although this one is not from a yz or even a yamaha if I remember correctly..I'm not sure it's...

Today I lightly modified my Heiden Tuning oil filter assembly on the lathe...I've been having a weep of oil from the side..it seems the fit is so snug it doesn't take into account the slightly uneven casing casting...a little bit of work saw the alloy unit fit snugly into the aperture..

Yep,that's what I thought...the new ones are organic...I'll see if they help..

Update...better lever action but no brake improvement...I'm still blaming the pads until I rule them out...I took a closer look at the disc/pad interaction..

Yeh I did wonder about the lever operation and in fact I modified it today to accept a rose joint rather than the solid lug it had...the lever itself may get a makeover during winter storage...I knew I was going to get one or two teething problems and I do use the front about 90% of the time but...

So,as I mentioned before my rear brake is crap...and after some time messing around with it it's still no better...the pedal is hard once pushed with very little to no braking. It's a rebuilt Yamaha Yz caliper, new seals and piston etc,new steel line,rebuilt master and new reservoir...oh and...

I going to put some more miles on it each night after work if possible until its bedded in.First I'm going to stick a couple of baffles in as it's obnoxiously loud 😖

Yeh,a little canted over 😉

Cheers BluzPlayer...I've completed a few heat cycles since the engine rebuild and today did about 10 miles actually riding it..the back brake needs another master cylinder as the current one is crap..The hydro clutch works a treat and those carbs are well worth the dollar.The suspension is firm...

Bugger,I guess I will have to skip straight to the most recent pics...
