Rex's YB5 moulds are custom shaped and made for the race bike. If you can get them made, note that they will not be the standard shape.

That sounds awesome. I'd still love to get an SB6/R one of these days. It takes a fair bit of work to get the 'little' FZR engine up to power of even the standard GSXR motor.

My YB8 is a race bike so smooth running at 3000 rpm is not required.

It came fitted with FCR flatslides and a race pipe that has no EXUP but has these canisters at the headers that connect 1-2 and ...

Weren't the tanks made by Acerbis? You could try them.

I know what that stuff is. I just recommissioned a '97 Suzuki RF900 which had 2km on the clock. The tank and carbs were coated with this sticky fuel residue.

At first I thought the tank was corrode ...

I'm in Sydney and have never heard of Vectriq, and I've been around bikes a long time in this area. It seems odd that they don't even have an address on their website. I'd be cautious when they don't ...

This has spammer written all over it. Just like the other new member that just joined. Delete them.

What's a Lech mate?

Not what, who. That's me, mate. Smile

Now that is unobtanium! Is the swingarm solid magnesium, or hollow? It looks solid where the cut-out for the shock linkage is.

The casting is mainly hollow Bud, you can see vent ports around the lo ...

Love the quality of the parts and work. What a great VDue build. No, make that - what a great build - full stop.

Great reading. I look forward to your future installments.

I don't have EXUP on my YB8, but it's a race bike so not much help to you. Low down power is not as important on a race bike as a road bike. I also have FCR flatslides so carb set up is not relevant e ...

Was thinking the same thing. You might also be able to cut off the bottom bit, then bend and drill a new fixing bracket. Regardless, it looks like you have the ability to figure it out. Well done.
