I know , just never had one back then, and got on with it. Hey, it worked, what can I say, I am not proud of that, but at the time, it was a means to an end. 🤣

@ Ya having to make do and mend, finding that out too today. The ports corroded, and the old bikes salvageable sensor fell apart and to top it all I’ve lost my credit card to buy anything lol. On the bright side we go through all the things wrong, give it a good clean and service like I see yours was sparkling; and I’ve learnt something new (until can buy a new control box and Pas Disc) that the throttle can do more than walking speed :) well once I went through the settings to tweak it back to default. (Although I need to go test that idea out of my now messy kitchen.)

I now have a Carrera E Bike, been fine to some degree. Once rode it to work, and heard a pop, tried my best to solder a new capacitor into the control box, didn't work 😒 , so got a new conttol box, which was cheap via Aliexpress, but was not so straightforward. Always something to do ( love the challenge, sort of ! ) All has been good, until my motor felt seized and now have to take apart. Look out new KZbin video will be coming.....good Luck !

Wish I didn't have to, sorry !

Stay tuned, I have another video coming up about it not starting and hope to fix that issue, let's hope I can. Thanks, Deano.

Hello, firstly, thanks for your support on my channel and videos, and secondly I hope you get some good info and tips from the YZF 750 ones. It was quite a while back now, but the same principle here on the mirror back plastic as with light lenses, simply cut back old tired plastic with a paste type cleaner, you can try toothpaste, I used a PVC cleaner, then use T Cut, then use a polish. If the plastic is too bad, on starting, use a courser paste, or wet and dry sand paper, working down in grades to wax polish. Good luck !

@@DeanAllen Will give it a try, Cheers

I personally did not want to go down the typical Cafe racer style, been done too many times, and not all look right to me. What do all you other think, let me know your comments too.

I'd say that's the 80s route you've went there. I've just picked up a k100 with a ridiculous seat fitted .I'd say if you fitted a more refined seat or even made your own it would look so much better

Once used to clean, it is wiped off. So I guess what you are saying is, as long as you don't use WD 40, your wheels will stay clean anyway ?

No sorry I do not the code, I guess you have tried Google or various Forums, in search of the answer.

I found my 16v and now this 8 v handle surprisingly well. Obviously shedding all that weight, and having the alloy tank etc help immensely. I weigh 80kg, so never bothered to change the fork oil and kept it soft on the front. It soakes up the bumps nicely, not at all harsh initially my rear shock had too much preloaded, so backed off the spring. Now both front and rear are very nice. I don't want a sports bike here, I want a cruising, easy going ride, that handles well enough to be fun if I need it to be. Even my brakes are better than I thought they would be. I would say, if your front end is too harsh, drop the oil and come down on the weight, I.e if you have 10w try 7.5w, and be very mindful of the level ( air gap needed) Best of luck. Deano.

I have donevthis twice now, on K100 RS 16v and this 8v you need to get close with a dremmel type cutter but not to close. The key is to tidy it up, they did not take care with welding seams so I added filler in between weld bobbles rather than risk damaging the tank.

Did similar things with my very 1st project. The K100 RS 16v ( see other videos) as you say, not attractive wheels but more tyre choices. Look forward to you sharing the link to video of your 1100 when complete. Good Luck, enjoy the getting there, take your time, I know I did, too much !

Thanks, the seat that I made for the single unit, needs some work though, but generally very happy with how it turned out.

Absolutely, it was very very loud this close !

I know it is hard to comprehend but I think most will agree, it was quite obvious really. Taking old clear off putting new original back on. Surprised it was not obvious to you.

Hello Robert, Sorry mate, haven't had the VFR for well over a year now, and can't remember the miles. Good luck with your project mate. Hope all goes/ is well.

Hello Can you let everyone know how, please, without cutting. Thanks, Dean

Couldn't agree with you more, in fact, it is impossible to balance the carbs with a vacuum gauge if they are not on the bike, it has to be running.

Hello You could try looping ( connecting a wire from one wire to the other) eliminating the switch, to see if brake light comes on all the time, which it should. Then you know for sure it is the switch and contacts in it, or wires to it. A switch should be very inexpensive. Good luck.

@@DeanAllen cracked it open and cleaned inside contacts as well. Working now. Thank you.

Thanks, it was a run of the mill, Haynes manual for the FZs 1000.

@@DeanAllen thanks

Not a Suzuki TLR, with the two scoops in the side fairing panels ? They would be tricky, but heat and practice will prevail in the end. It took me a lot of practice, but you aquire the skills as you keep trying. Good Luck, go for it !

It looks a lot easier on the Honda panel, other than the hole, give it some practice, it is very little cost. Just make sure every thing under is ultra smooth, as if you were preping for paint.

I guess so, good point though. I think it would possibly wear off. Doesn't really matter if you have a micrometer to check, but easier to be able to see. Thanks, Dean

Sorry mate, no idea this bike is long gone, replaced by many others since.

Beautiful retro looking machines, with the Fox eye head lights. Yes the 600R was literally a smaller engined version sharing some parts as the 750R. Wish I had the money and space to own more bikes.

Very good question, that was a long time ago. As you can see, I bought it 18 months ago, when I first got the bike. I will have to check the paperwork. Definitely came from a European supplier. I will update you later. Good news, I started mine for the first time in 18 months, today, great to hear it through my new exhaust.

Yes, Cafe4racer.eu

Thx 😊

Sorry, that was on the bike when I bought it, no idea of make or who from.

no worries , appreciate the reply! @@DeanAllen

When I had installed it, I never did get the time to find a way to connect the camera up to the new head unit.
