busabeast Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 So having just hung my boots up begrudgingly to rugby i now need something else to fill my time with and having had a long hard think I see no other option but to look in to motorcycle club racing, I have my old zx6r j1 just sitting around in the garage so last night I decided that I would buy the necessary parts to make it in to a track bike though im sure I will need some more than the race fairing, screen, undertray, hugger, levers and rearsets and chain and sprocket kit that I have just ordered. From memory I need a new battery, lever guards and a lock wire kit. I know I also need a 1 piece leathers, boots, gloves and lid but they are easy enough to pick up. Now I need to find some sponsorship!! So if anyone wouldn't mind it would be greatly appreciated Oh and this will be the build page so everyone can see whats going wrong 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Nice one, Rich. I had a mate who did clubman racing back in the mid/late 70's. He had this frankenstein bike with a Greaves engine in it. He never won any races, but none of us could keep up with him out on the road! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
