Anyone got / know where to get a fork brace ? The Glemseck IS starting to get really serious now .. talked to a pal today who has a 150 BHP Nitrous set up. Be rude not too ?
However in the interests of self preservation – fork brace and steering dampener now on the shopping list .

I just noticed all my earlier posts have had the pix removed – thanx to Photophukit. I’ll add a few as I go along.
Just a few random pix. The Eaton blower, The top fairing, high level 2 into 1 exhaust and the schematic for the external [ Gixer ] oil pump drive / turbo / oil cooler.

Public thanx to KK and the crew for putting this new site together for us KZ owners.
A great site with many unique features. I’m especially grateful for the Magazine and advertising sections.
Anyone else like to show their appreciation ?

If only !!!!
Taken yet another backseat for a while.
This time due to a dear old friend’s battle with cancer. I’ve been looking after him and his wife – trips to hospital, visitor’s taxi, etc,etc.for the past 8 weeks or so.
I am also posting on the new site, and trying to remember to duplicate postings.

beachcomber replied to the topic Uprated progressive fork springs and clutch springs. in the forum Technical Garage 7 years ago
I just paid a visit to my tame spring man.
Absolutely NO problem. He has ample stocks of the correct grade high quality spring wire to make both clutch and fork springs.
I WILL go ahead with the clutch springs anyway. I need to order 100 springs minimum, which is only 20 bike’s worth ! Just as a matter of interest I’ll check the price…[Read more]

beachcomber replied to the topic Uprated progressive fork springs and clutch springs. in the forum Technical Garage 7 years ago
KK – as ever, depends on quantities.
I developed the K100 springs shown and initially I had to commit to 20 springs [ 10 bikes ].
However, when the sales started to grow I could order in greater quantities [ 100 springs ], bringing the price down considerably to sub £75 / pair retail.
However, they were developed over 5 years ago, I will call…[Read more]

Over the years I have had many speciality springs made and latterly for http://www.ramshox.com. – site is being replaced – but it will give you an idea.
I will be needing upgraded items for my Glemseck project.
Many of you will know that Redditch is the spring capital of the UK – remember “Terry’s Springs” ? You will if you’ve rebuilt many Brit…[Read more]

Someone’s got to kick it off I guess.
BTW – are we “here” now and no longer “there” ???
The “Glemseck” project has grown a personality all on it’s own [ saying “build me, build me” ] and I appear to be persuaded that a second, milder, road bike might be in order. That does depend entirely on funds and goodwill – we’ll see.
It does seem to…[Read more]
