Old fat ex 250 racer.

[bigtwinthing]

i am still really fast in Waitrose, sadly young in there at my age. Welcome to the forum, there are some extremely knowledgeable guys on here, some thick ones too but all helpful. Rodgered forks are the cheapest but best upgrade, a decent remote rear shock as advised, poke wise! there fast enough for me when i had it. Some guys go mad for weight loss but eat lots of pies ( you know who you are) but send in pics and all the best. Oh i hope you wear braces with the ever bulging leather trousers!!! ( Lloydie thats not sex related just and overweight one)

Thanks Chris.

No updates to report just yet but I've been buying a few bits & bobs to get things moving. Like a 1998 Fireblade 'swinger' (for the brace) & calliper bracket, lots of cutting, grinding & welding required on the arm and calliper guide etc, but at least I've got a spare swingarm to work on while the bike is still useable.

I'm still hoping to be out on track in May, how much work will have been done by then only time will tell!!

Onward & upward.

What a fantastic source, but how do you get around the "may NOT be shipped internationally"? It seems everything I click isn't for export!!
