This blog has changed more to be about the bikes in my garage than racing, but hey, I will still be using the RD 350 YPVS and the RG500 on track!

Bodywork done
Hi All,
Well I have been relatively busy. The Yamaha is now wintered up - a new power valve motor solved my problem, and both the Yamaha controller and Zeeltronics works fine. The bike revs and opens the valve - so although I haven't road tested (too much snow!) it should be OK.
I got back my bodywork for the Suzuki, and here are some pictures. Considering the guys are a simple car body shop they did a pretty good job, the stripes are a little wider than I would have liked, but once it is stickered up it should look mint!
I have also fitted the GSXR forks, and although I will need to create an ingenious way of setting the steering lock, they fit straight on, although the RG500 standard instruments will have to go! I now need to concentrate on finishing the gear and brake levers, plus trying to find the "right solution" for the rotary disk valves.
I put the standard amount of oil in the GSXR Forks that is :-
(without spring and inner tube compress fully): 416 ml or 141 mm oil level: K model SAE 10
Have a great Xmas nad a happy new year, this will be my last post this year!
