Today i gave the Yoshimura's a clean ready for GLSR,

They are not mega clean as i'm not good at that stuff but they are a dam sight cleaner than i've ever had them on the bike



















I've really enjoyed these on the bike, hope mark gets as much pleasure as they brought me

Total weight of the system including hangers and straps but excluding bolts and springs is 7,272 grams

I'm sure those pipes could be made reasonably easy enough. What's the diameter of the main pipe and the smaller link pipes in the cross section Seb?

i've wrapped them and boxed them up now mate safe for the pick up but i'm sure mark given his skill with fabrication work would take some digital verniers to them at some point

nice stand i like that and might copy it .

You can't it's Mac & Frank Acme Industries Corp Patten no. 108438765276. Unintellectual property rights ect balh ect blah.




Nah I just copied the idea from other stands I'd seen.

If you have the Blackbird stand the foot prong is ridiculously stumpy, about 1/3 the length of the Storm one.

Feel free if you want to copy it.

I started off by grinding the bobble off the B/bird stand to give a flat area, the side that is on top when stand is up.

Next I took a bit of steel rod that I had & ground one side of that flat just the length of the width of the stand + the prong so it had a little step to butt up against the end of the prong.

Then holding it in place against the stand in the up position marked the rough point for the bend.

Took the stand back off. Steel rod in the vice add some heat via a blow torch played about with the angle of the bend until happy with it. Then cut the rod to length & ground off the flat on the non prong end so that it all fits nicely.

Me neighbour welded it up for me with his tig welder, let it cool, coat of paint jobs a good un.

Carl it is so easy to get ya foot on, makes a world of difference.

[whitestorm pete]

fitted me new levers alrite for £24 all in

[Ckennedy]

Those levers look good Pete. Where did you get them from at that price?

[whitestorm pete]

ebay mate the seller was called plowlive-uk

[Ckennedy]

chinese imports by any chance? if they do some in black I may have to get myself a pair.

[Kev L]

If you check out plowlive-uk through find a member, their location is China. I've had Chinese levers on mine for three years now with nothing worse than fading of the anodised span adjusters. All good for £25. Despite a lot of folk predicting problems with them.

[lloydie]

Two years i to have had them fitted.
All is well and red is slowly turning pink !

Re-tightened the clutch on the hornet earlier. Engine was still pulling strongly even when I had the lever pulled up against the handlebars!! Made changing gear horrible
