Meet The New Boss

This is my K5, now I have changed the carbon SP Engineering can, it is for sale if you wanted to remove the stock can, I still need to get the wheels repainted in the correct colour, it doesn't look right with the gold rims



This is the SP carbon can if you're interested....

 

Thanks very much for that.

I found out about the recalls online (https://www.google.com/search?q=k5+gsxr+1000+recall) and there’s nothing outstanding for the bike on the .GOV website (https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-recall) but I didn’t know about the frame bracing so I’ll do a physical check for that.

 

Thanks. I really fancy a period Yoshi (of course) but I’ll have to see how easily I can lay my hands on one.

 

Had a full Ti racing yoshi on mine. From the factory team allegedly Real hens teeth system.

 

And after a few trackdays lol

 

@bradders your the destroyer of bikes mate !!

 

Only gixers mate

 

Triumph?

 

That blew up rather than crashed

 

I love Arata systems but not that one, one can has been resleeved with a Ali tube and it’s also considerably shorter than the other one, worth half what they are asking in my humble opinion.

 

If you’re not tracking it there’s no point imho. I’d probably have front and rear bobbins tho as they don’t look bad and can save a lot in a slow or stationary drop

 

I’m the same I don’t bother with crash bungs, they often do more harm than good in a crash but I do have the front and rear spindle bobbins just to try and save the forks/ swingarm in a spill.

 

The rear ones usually snap the paddock stand lugs off

 

I use the skewer ones that go through the centre of the wheel spindle.
