I went to the VRRA event on Sunday at Calabogie. I have to say, the VRRA do put on a really good show and I’m a huge fan of their P1 and P2 classes. It’s really nice to see machines from that era being used in earnest, and not just sitting in a garage collecting dust. The nice thing about the...

Or just buy the 83 with the turbo charger ?

That's not necessarily true. I have a 1981 GPZ that I'm paying ~$300 a year for for full coverage. My 2013 GS is at least 3 times that.

Kemp makes some really nice stuff, I would feel so bad buying something like that and chopping it up. The Delkevic is only $300 I’ve been waiting on Kemp making an exhaust for the GPZ550. I’d be at the front of the line. I’ve asked him a few times but I don’t think he is interested. Although...

Thanks. Will try Hotrod Scott’s and Speedlab

Unfortunately not. The spacing of the ports are different.

Unfortunately it’s a bit of a hike :(

Hi. My father in law has an ES750 Suzuki and the pipes are completely rotten. The most common mod is to get a Delkevic for a GS750 as the headers are identical and to get a custom mid pipe made. Has anyone any recommendations of a shop that could do this? I'm assuming a custom muffler shop...

Thanks guys. Looks like Able has been bought and they are now called Seal and Design but I was able to get them there anyway. As Bitzz said they were significantly cheaper. $0.40 each compared to $12.70 each from Kawasaki :)

Thanks Bitzz, Thanks Rob

Thanks Ric. TK4. Yes they are available from the dealer but the problem is that they do not last very long, hence the comment about it being a weak spot. This set was only installed a few years ago. On the KZ/GPZ forums this is the recommended upgrade and it provides some additional longevity...

Is there a place that sells Viton O-Rings in Toronto. I need a couple of -206 ("Dash 206") O-Rings for my GPZ550. They are used to seal the oil passage between the Cylinder and the Head and the one on the right has started weeping. Apparently its a weak spot with these motors. I could just...

Took a drive out to Whitby today as I need a new helmet and since my head is oval, Bell fit really well. I was interested in the Bell Race. $199 is a killer price, however they were not Bell "Race" but Bell "Pace". Still a good helmet but not what I was looking for. Suprized they didn't catch...

Thanks Mike. I might just do that :)

So.... Latest update. I moved everything to the TD back in February. They were very nice, did all the work for me and waved all the fees. I've been on a 6 week business trip to Singapore, Australia and New Zealand and all the new cards worked without a hitch. Perfect. I didn't have time to...

I don’t think you can make a blanket statement like that. There are many factors including the type of work. I have staff in Reading and Osterley London in the UK and staff in Liberty Village and Waterloo in Canada. As an example, the wage for a programmer with 5 years experience in either...

Check in the electrical section. The gray 1" electrical conduit comes in Sched. 40. That's what I ended up using the last time. It comes in 6 foot lengths so you are still going to end up with 5 foot + left over :(

When I lived in Vancouver I used to bank with the Canadian Western Bank. They are a small provincial bank in BC but had amazing service, low fees, and everyone was very friendly and trustworthy. I travel a lot with work and never once had an issue with using ATM's with their bank card or their...

I need to do a couple of small mods to my trailer but am out of gas on my MIG. I need to weld on brackets to bolt on a lockable aluminum storage box I have a 40cf Hobart tank and when I lived in Vancouver I could just take it to KMS and they would fill it - they were very hobbyist friendly...

My son is doing his first restore - a 1972 CB350 K4 Given the popularity of these bikes I’m surprised that Honda don’t stock a lot more parts. Most are NLA including a lot of the Gaskets. I have a friend that loves CB350’s and has built quite a few for the VRRA and AHRMA. He recommended...
