Nino, are you still running the ATAC chamber on the '89 motor?

Always thought those tubes on the earlier tanks were particularly cool. (Pun intended) I imagine our 91 tanks were more for their extra capacity, hence the lack of the tubes, and probably unnecessary due to the 91 side panels feeding the airbox better than the '89/90 ones. The bike looks great like this, especially with the RWU forks. What's the...

Great to see it in 89/90 spec Nino. Keep us updated on how you get on. Always good racing an old bike and the memories it brings back. (I've only had mine 15 years in comparison) I bought a '91 VRP tank to buy, refurbish, and sell on, but made the mistake of trying it on my 125 once it...

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

Looking ace Chuck. I had Poeton Aptec bore and re-plate my CR125 cylinder to suit the piston I sent them. Never seen such an amazing job before. Pay for it though.

Screw sticking together. If he's got that kind of attitude, he's bad for business. With regard to the tangent this discussion's taken, yes, all non-modern bikes need to be supported. We're at the point now, where we should be looking as far along as creating a class for the early 00's thumpers / last of the 2T's.

Wonderful.

Super trick factory goodness, sympathetically cleaned. Excellent stuff. Much better than stock '87's.

Factory Honda hub and disc. The 87/88's had a 6-bolt setup.

'Kinell! Y'know how your opinion of someone can change in an instant? The equivalent of stomping off from the playground with your football, because your team aren't winning!

Saw this on FB earlier. Great stuff. I'll be there cheering you guys on.

You can't polish a turd, but you can paint it like a rainbow.

All this talk of Chromaflair paint, and I hadn't seen anything with it since it first became trendy about 10 years ago. Then I see this little Peugeot parked over the road from work. I'll see if I can get a pic on my way out of it's still there.

Good to hear. Do you know what squish and compression ratio are you running now?

It's very easy to blow your budget to pieces. My Honda build cost me somewhere near £1500 in parts the first time round. A little over half that went into what was already a perfectly good motor because I got carried away. http://m.vitalmx.com/forums/Old-School-Moto,22/1990-CR134-Resto-Mod,126…

Wheels look great, but then again I think everything should have gold excels.

Not sure if that'd sit too well with the wife. - I'm just going out to watch some guys ride old bikes round a field. - How long will you be? - Only four days!

Barkhard, whats funny is, everyone in the building industry over the age of 50 here in the UK still works in feet and inches. Boards still get referred to as 8'x4's, timbers get referred to as 4"x2", 6"x2" etc. I'm only 33, but have to put everything into feet and inches to visualise it. We pick and choose our measurements...

Andy - Excels are usually pre-drilled to suit the specific bike. I've had Hagon in Essex build me wheels before, and they've used Akront blank rims and drilled them to suit. from memory the Akront gold is the paler more retro finish too.
