slicks or tread.Use the thinnest tyres suitable for the rims or go to narrower wheels just make sure u have the CORRECT SPEED RATING for the speed u want to achieve and STEEL VALVE STEMS
I use 2.5x18 drag slick on the front ,130/80zr17 rear My R1 steers verry well.
see you soon BONES

Hi Fireman Have you seen a comstar wheel have problems? There's not many skinny 17"wheels around. I want to fit a 130 /80zr 17 to the rear of the r1 for next year,its the smallest rear available. I've spoken to a bunch of people and only Gazza knew of any problems(fully loaded-2 people on dirt ...

Look out for not so secret Project 250 in 2008

I have one of these things.I was told to open acet tap on torch tten open reg so flame just stands off tip.Do the same with oxy.This is ment to set pressure.It didnt work too well for me Lots of popping.May be better with new regs,mine are old.I went back to old cig setup

Hi Gary.Nice job on the Bussa. (buttering up done) what is the acepted size for a hump on the back of a set of leathers behind the helmet? Looking for 200 from the r1

Hi Ben If you want a seat like on my R1 I think Greg wants one so I could easily have 2 made.Maybe the rear tyre is too wide? Speedway use taller tyres for more traction. Sounds expensive to cut ,weld and straighten a frame.Do you have the mold for kermits seat/tank?

Garth04 do you remember it having any handling problems?A mate of mine,Jock Williams, was helping on the bike and became very frustrated with the whole setup. Jock said it steered well but the engine was no good. Any idear what would not pass inspection now? Thanks

Does anybody remember when John Vevers brought a streamliner to the salt.? It only did 91mph. Why? I spoke to him . he said the streamliner did close to 200 in testing. Did it have any major problems? hope the memories are still good. Bones.
