Just in case I am well wrong Stig, which is very very possible, I am going to ask a local company who does this to see if they can do it for me, after all I can only ask, I will keep you updated. Cheers

Problem we have Stig is trying to get access to it as it is under the can bearing face, I know what your saying but the bolts are still siezed they are not snapped due to overtwisting while removing and the application of heat to the bearing runs with the difference in the metal compounds might well...

Hi Lastmile, No, I used decent sockets and a Impact Driver, people say to soak in WD40 etc but to be honest if the oil hasn't broken through the seal of the bolt head I can't see it making a difference. The stupid thing with the design is that the size of the holes they have left only just allows fo...

No problem Rooster, I am an ex ships engineer so I am used to people thinking I am talking rubbish, goes right over my head :whistle . Sometimes when I used to go to sea we have to do the impossible with next to no tools so some of my ideas were a bit Heath Robinson, I have cleared the broken Allen ...

White???

Thinking of White for the main colour, waiting for the yellow to dry then I will try that on it as well. http://fzronline.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=29256&width=150&height=113 http://fzronline.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=29258&width=150&he...

Reelrazor, sorry to mess about, but on the 90 FZr Exup engine the head definitely splits into 2 parts and upper part which has the cams in and a lower part which houses the valves, I have never seen it before either but its made like that for sure. I have no idea what purpose this serves and I can't...

Thanks all, I did use an impct driver and Draper profesional socket, but I think the problem might have been in the length of the hex socket. Hhave got some new ones now which are longer so fingers crossed. I will try when my kids go home tomorrow. Removing the broken hex head might prove interestin...

OK, so the rolling chassis is coming along so I decide to remove the top end and change rings, seat valves etc. BUT, some bright spark designed the bolts to be recessed allen type which are seized in (I dont think the head has ever been off), after rounding one head off and snapping my allen key soc...

Its not just about the fittings (which will probably be different) its about the weight and geometrics as well. All of my bikes have Hagon shocks, they are hand made in the UK for your weight, pillion weight and bike setup, they can range from about £250 to £300 which isnt bad for a bespoke made mon...

Bodywork checked and fits for now, not sure about the colour though.

I know, if you look at the close ups of the swingarm I have installed grease nipples to this as well.

Bad Kaw, sorry mate I have been away working in Australia. I have just posted an update with pictures on the FZR 1000 and Hybrid Sportbike forums. It is coming together and getting there now (at last) after a lot of head scratching and a bit of help with bearing manufacturers, shock manufacturers an...

Hagon do a bespoke rear shock which will take into account your weight etc and they will just build it around how you want the bike to feel. They are about £250, but they are built here in the UK. Just had one made for my project.
