IceCreamMan Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Thought you sold this beaut?No. I doubt I will ever sell it. Spent to many hours and it’s such a lekker bike to ride. Very rewarding keeping an old bike running.
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Oh, and never, ever use gasket making near the fuel system, ever......... BenReaper and the nerd 2
Grebel Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 And don't ever think that silicone sealer can be used instead of gasket maker. Silicone sealer belongs in bathrooms, fish tanks and women's t!ts. Not on your engine. BenReaper 1

IceCreamMan Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Boy do I miss riding my scoot.  We normally order online but the waits are long so on the odd occasion i get to go out on the scoot to pick up a necessity,,, only a 5 mile round trip which i sometimes stretch to 7 miles but its a lekker lil ride. Best one can do at the moment. Hoping restrictions are relaxed a lil come monday which is our 21 days up. We wait n see. BenReaper and RocknRolla 2

Stoffel76 Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 This popped up in my feed.I had the 900F at the time and am sorely temptedHonda did some awesome two tone colour schemes on their bikes back in the 80's!! I got handed down (or appropriated, depending on who you ask  ) my dad's CBX550 from him in the mid 90's. Loved that bike...  PS... On the off chance someone here has one of these or knows someone who does - I still have the Haynes workshop manual somewhere - Free to a good home if anyone wants it...

IceCreamMan Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Wasn't Rod Gray in the F1 class with his converted XS11?look my memory is hazy but i seem to recall a BP advert where they lined up the 1100 cc machines being the Katana, the XS, the RC and the GPZ with the manne standing by their machines... that would indicate it was the open class.  The F1 class was like seriously modified bikes with that japanese ou (errol quo chan or something) that ended up workign at suzuki for years and heaseman who i am sure used a heavily modded bke in the standard classes too as he would invarioably be about 40 km/h faster down the old straight...Â
