A new project (includes pics)

I don't think those supersprox are worth bothering with. Amount of inertia you will save is minimal. They also look to have more material than a steel one. Did anyone weigh it to compare?

had mine off the other day tightening it up properly and it is the rubber

Cheers. It's obvious now I know what it is. I just couldn't tie it in with any work I'd done.

All that **** I don't need is coming out the garage tonight.

I want one of those American garages you see on SVRider. Massive, loads of space, freshly painted, full-size air receiver in the corner, huge selection of tools readily at hand on pinboards.

Then you look at our pictures in the UK and we're in dirty, draughty, asbestos-clad sheds, tip-toeing round tricycles and rarely used garden furniture, scrabbling around in the dust and wondering if that big imperial socket we've found will 'just about' do.

Or that might just be me.

Black stripes on the yellow, especially with that waspish back end. Finish it with a small round rear light for stinger effect!

Looking really good though, even with out wheels.

Then you read streetfighters and you realise that no amount of freedom from asbestosis and unmarked shins from kicking tricycles can give you taste as you're looking at the 1 million and 2nd "slammed" busa "show bike" destined to be ridden very slowly to a cafe and back.

one of the best streetfighters I have seen was built in the loft bedroom of a back to back student let, then taken in bits again once everything fit and built proper in the front room

Don't think there are any. It has since been stripped for parts.

It was 750M frame, K5 running gear, 1100K engine, Ti system, FCR flatslides, single lamp, clipons, upperton head (the proper "built" one), kent cams, RGV250 tail end plastic, brembo MC, penske 8970. Very good bike... it was running in fast group at track.

Looked gorgeous, no chav crap (take heed!), built for purpose with attention to detail. Absolutely dripping in top quality kit, but nothing showy, you had to look close.

You want to see one, build your own
