Darrin came up with one. Here is a picture of what he did.

Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....

See that flourescent green area on the card? I cut that part out too, but I don't think I took a photo with it that way. It allows the card to fit over the top of the float hinge.

Thanks Guys but that card is only part of the story it was in a thread with regard to float heights and setting in general one of our new guys is complaining his carbs have no mark, I did try to point out that our carbs do not have it and pointed him to the wiki only find it is not covered !!!

Hence my interest in finding that thread as the subject needs covering badly and I need to hook out my sych tools (have to refresh my memory on how to set them up as well and the URL for the 6mm adaptors for our carbs ) to do my bike and add that to RD's carb How to:- and we should have a half way decent set up section along with my table of tried & tested plus URL 's for the jet info we have :hyprocrite
