  2. They say that if every RG500 front wheel advertised in MCN back in the day as “ex Sheene” actually was, he would have had to pit for a new wheel every couple of laps just to get through them.
    Real as in not some chubby road bike.

  3. The seller looks remarkably like Sheffield Superbike place…with another name…

  4. Yep. Looks like Sheffield, smells like Sheffield, squeaks like Sheffield. Then it probably………….
     
  5. Interesting (impressive) system using front brake fluid to « damper » excessive fork compression when braking(see additional braided hoses leaving front calipers to fork tubes). I had never seen that. I wonder if it worked well and if it was used on other bikes…
     
  6. Branching out into cars
    Aren’t they race prototypes of the anti-dive units on pretty much every early ‘80’s superbike? Pretty sure my GPZ 900R has something very similar, as did FZ750, GSXR750, VF750 etc.

  7. Possibly, I wouldn’t know.
     
  8. My old GSX750 had that type of anti-dive system. I got rid of it as it did fuck all good.
