I bought a couple of torque wrenches made by 'Teng'. Two because one does 5-25NM and the other 20-110NM, the measurement scale also shows Ftlbs and both are 3/8 drive. Bought them on ebay i think. They work really well and cover all the settings i need on the LC's

I may be wrong. but i'm pretty sure these are YPVS heads and barrels modified by 'Costin' for their race replica NSR's for the full HRC effect!

Think we need Mr Corrin! But I think it is a 'Fior 500' GP bike, built and designed by Claude Fior (French). Late 80's raced by Marco Gentile. Four cylinder water cooled, French designed engine with 'wishbone-style' front end and maybe fuel under the engine like Honda tried? The tyres are just racing wets. Mouse You are spot on with that Mouse Its the 1989 Fior 500 racer However under the engine are a pair of radiators fitted along the length of the fairing. Fuel tank in usual possition Claude made several interesting bikes Heres a link to more photos of the 500 rascer www.mcnews.com.au/1989-fior-500-gp-150hp-127kg-phil-aynsley/Heres a link to other bikes Best regards Johnny C.
Cheers Johnny, i knew you'd know!! I guess this at the end of the days when you didn't have to be a full factory effort to compete in GP's All the best Mouse

A mate of mine had a bike that looked like this near me in a village in Lincolnshire Mareham le fen, he bought it off another mate who built it. Has it got a exup motor fitted in it and has the rear seat pod had a repair on one of the front section corners ? If yes same bike. It was done really well I think red black was painted on and the Fz was decal. No. It's not that bike! Mouse

Thanks all!
Not sure about 'as good looking as any RC30!" but i love it!
And yes, the cost when you compare to LC prices is baffling! Seem to be fewer of these about too.

Morning Chaps, got this the other day. Been looking for one for a while to modify and this popped up! Most of the mods have been done and pretty well i think (FZR1000 engine and front end, Fazer 600 rear, blue spot calipers, all Yamaha parts too). However i will put my 'stamp' on it but first just a couple of minor issues to sort! Mouse live.staticflickr.com/65535/51279408751_f17babd5a5_c.jpg

As Dusty says, your bike, do what you like. For what it's worth i had a head and barrels cerakoted satin black and i am over the moon with the finish, it's meant to be tough and petrol proof too! Mouse Do you mind saying how much it cost you ? No i don't mind, it was about £160 for head barrels and a rear caliper. Mouse

Anyone going to this?
Due to all the Covid stuff it is now being run by the VMCC and not called 'The festival of 1000 Bikes', just to confuse!
But it is going ahead at Cadwell Park in August and called 'The 75th Celebration'.
I have booked four track sessions (the max allowed) and, all being well will take my Black hybrid.

Having seen this hybrid 'in the flesh', i can confirm it is one of the nicest i have ever seen, it really is stunning!
Good luck with the seat strips Dusty, rather you than me!
