YZ faybo Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Nice VJ23 Looks like some ones thrown some coin at it, is that from Australia? Had the fortune of stripping one of them down in Thailand for parts, what a chassis and swinger closest frame to a race bike I have ever seen, and I have owned 5 NSR's!

wazrs257 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Is that a cable tie holding the exhaust can to the support bracket? The rest of it looks good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy sie Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 no instead of lock wire they put a cable tie through the bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sennidott Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 no instead of lock wire they put a cable tie through the bolt. Pish!! It's a cable tie through a poorly made alloy bracket. There's also more cable tie action holding the fairing to the screen brace. A good bike ruined by too many cable ties, blue anodised bolts and blue cans! Pish!!!

YZ faybo Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Looks like the kind of bike that the owner just enjoys getting on and riding rather than get all anal about fastners and zip ties. Bet whilst dragging his knee around he couldnt give a shite what the hanger looks like rather how he can get through the next corner better. Glad you had never seen my old race bike 90% gaffer tape 5% zip ties and 5% body filler, but all the important parts worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell the owner that and watch him tell you to go and get fucked. It's a track bike, who cares if it has a few cable ties on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly care and he can tell me to get fucked if he wants. It may be a track bike but keeping your bike tidy cost nothing. Replacing cable ties with bolts, of any kind, costs very little. I mean, he has tyre warmers for a start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazrs257 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Cable ties & gaffa tape are all well and good if you're trying to repair your crashed track bike to get it out for the final session. But there's no excuse for not using the correct fasteners at any other time. Cable tie, its all in the name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
