here Q what rear shocks are those, where ya get them and how much (the how much is vital lol!) they look the dogs bollux, and im guessing fully adjustable? as my own wee C90 could do with some nice properly damped adjustable, and did it fit onto the existing mounts with standard cub bushes or need special items sourced? could also do with another set for the chinese cub/wave copy i just acquired, 2yo bike but the chrome is shagged so look a mess, and flimsy.

ebay, honda dax i think it was, 330mm, about €60 a year or two ago, only adjustable for preload and height but they do have a valve built it they could be re-pressurized, haven't investigated. they need spacers made at least on our cub90 the mounts are quite long on the frame the shock is narrow, which is useful because i think it's gonna need spacing out to avoid the chain.

Sorry i haven't been back here for a while, Found a job and life's been mental. where was i? we got third but not without problems, we couldn't use the cheapo shocks and the seat wasn't in the spirit of things, frankly we only got in because all the really big names (Scott Redding, Jeremy McWilliams, sure steve hislop was there too....) also had modded bikes. 2012 race with be very tightly policed standard bikes only so i can't afford to enter myself next year, couldn't stop ted from having another go tho! the edge we were gonna have was e85, but we ran out of time to do it properly, mostly from ted pissing around with that 70 head.

the run is for extra carnage points the whole thing is not very serious. the colour and the strips are meant to be joey dunlops, even did a bit of trading to end up with the number 3

What was the average lap speed? Looking at the video some of those aren't half going some! don't remember any c90 on the road giving that sort of performance! Don't know about E85 as a performance boost what about 110LL avgas!

yes but e85 is a "pump" gas, we could have always said we just picked the wrong pump... there is another race in September in meath at a very nice gokart track that allows mods as long as the bike appears stock, it very far away from me but could be worth try

Though i'd add some more, decided to go along with the ring of kerry challege and the only working 50 was the race bike, so i slapped on a comfy seat and changed the gearing for the hills! didn't get very far before we had to stop for something or other.. i saw the man who drove this didn't look deranged at all? didn't see this going but it looks like a proper hoot And lastly this is a scan of a photo, my dads on the 125, sweet shot or what? (excuse the crap scan quality) the race bike went great 55mph down hill out of a draft, spent the whole day hunched over the bars ekking out a few mph over everyone else,. the pirelli tyres were great for going around the outside of anything and the ebay shocks meant for a honda dax transformed the handling, it would have been quite boring without other people on similar bikes to play with. Next year i might go on the tuk tuk, or build my own honda fifty on the cheap.
