Firstly the cat is amazing - we like cats secondly, make a template off your tire like a mohican from the forks back round to the 3'oclock position and then offset that by your fork travel. that will give you a go/no go gauge to see if anything is going to tire strike in the worst case. On the trailing edge of the tyre you want the line to be tangent to the tire at the angle of the forks. you'll probably find that everything on there at the moment will kiss it bar about 10mm
Lovely, thanks. I'll give that a try and see how it goes. I think you're right, the tyre will clear the cooler, but only just.
Get a couple of mates...hold onto the clip ons and take the fork tops out and lower the bike to the stops..
Can anyone help? Do I have to run the 999 stick coils with the 999 loom? Or can I use my existing coils? (As in the picture) I'm a little unsure about the connections etc.
Russell, The connection could well be the same as your OEM so might be worth checking and at the least ask the vendor if you can return it if it doesn't fit. You don't have to run stick coils, the system doesn't recognise what coil in on there, just that one is there and working. The coils themselves don't have an ID embedded into them that the system can read for example. The only thing will be the impedance to ensure that it energises correctly. The above system is far more reliable than COP systems which really are more for packaging and reducing part count than eanything else on non variable valve and ignition timing engines.
The coil packs are more efficient and reliable .. race bijes of that era certainly used then ... for ease of use I’d go with the sticks with a fly lead✅
As a side note, I checked the frame numbers yesterday, turns out that the frame I have is one of the 100 early 748S frames. Seems a bit of a shame to see the frame been cut about...
Was there any difference between the frames used for the 2000MY onwards 748S & E and the pre 2000MY bikes, apart from colour, silver & bronze gold respectively?
On all 748s bar the E version. I’m not aware there are any differences between the 748S frame and pre 2000 frames
Fitted some HEL braided brake lines and splitter this afternoon. Big thanks to Bettes for the parts. Really happy with them.
I see the frame lock stop has been involved in an incident of some kind. Out of interest - why go for a splitter rather than twin full lines?
