October 27, 201312 yr Does the CR carbu really changes a lot?? Almost done, still need rear sets and small black indicators Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
October 27, 201312 yr Author Looks awesome Mickey. Iam hoping the CR will make for easier starting (it always was pretty good anyways)but more importantly gasohol friendly and reduce the appetite for (fouled) spark plugs. I did not end up buying that one from japanwebike but instead Omega Racer found me a 2 month old one here in Thailand.
October 28, 201312 yr It should be more powerfull too right?! How much was it? 15k? Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
October 28, 201312 yr The original VM carb has 3 inbuild membranes that often cause problems and need to be replaced periodically. The CR won't give you that much more power, unless you upgrade the air filter and exhaust. Once it's set up it's pretty much worry free. At least these are my experiences.
October 28, 201312 yr Spoonman, do you have any specific info about the CR and gasohol. I asked in various forums and even contacted Keihin directly, but didn't get a response.
October 28, 201312 yr Author Spoonman, do you have any specific info about the CR and gasohol. I asked in various forums and even contacted Keihin directly, but didn't get a response. Nothing specific just word of mouth from friends back home in AUS that have swapped to CR's and have had no issues at all on ethanol blended fuels where as they could not get their bikes to run nicely previously with the stock carb which kinda gels with my experience and gasohol..... mine was a pig to start cold and used to foul plugs easily. With the small tank now on mine being reliant on 95 benzine will really limit my riding so here's hoping what mates have said is true so that I can use gasohol.
October 28, 201312 yr Small tank? Any pics? My stock carb, mikuni has had no problem yet. So I dont have any reason to get the CR...I heard to was more powerfull tho! How about your new tank Mr Omega? Finished yet? Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app
October 28, 201312 yr The guy said 1 month. I told him to take his time and do a perfect job. I can only hope...
October 28, 201312 yr Author Small tank? Any pics? It's the Mustang tank from Omega and holds 6 litres vs the stock SR tank of 14 litres. Edited October 28, 201312 yr by Spoonman

October 28, 201312 yr Small tank? Any pics? It's the Mustang tank from Omega and holds 6 litres vs the stock SR tank of 14 litres. Amazing! Your back wheel is so wide you had to fabricate a new swingarm! That tank really is small!
October 28, 201312 yr Author Swingarm is a Motolanna unit but Iam considering making my own so that I can get a 180 tyre on the back.
October 29, 201312 yr Author With a 180 on the back you can say goodbye to sporty handling! it never had sporty handling to start with running a 140 rear/120 front combo anyways. You do understand the concept of a bar hopper/bobber yeah ? Edited October 29, 201312 yr by Spoonman

November 15, 201312 yr Author It is like a moving target but gettng closer though... How it currently stands.
November 15, 201312 yr Thats a crazy looking bike! lol You got the same supertapp as mine. Amazing work for the seat, looks confortable Nice tank by omega. How about when it rains? Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

November 15, 201312 yr There are some pretty classy fabrication skills going into this, all your own work? No matter, it will be great when you get it on the road? How many hours so far?

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Thanks. Seat has a 1.5mm Stainless top that will go on that is padded and trimmed, pictured is the lower that will be powdered black, when it rain I guess everything will get wet. So the carbu gives you more power? Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Don't know to be honest. am hoping it provides easier starting and the ability to use gasohol. There are some pretty classy fabrication skills going into this, all your own work? No matter, it will be great when you get it on the road? How many hours so far? Thanks, yeah all my own work... not that many hours into it in total maybe 2 days but being only able to do 30 minutes here and there has drawn it out. It has sat at work for the past month because the electrics guy has become real lazy, he is still not finished which is shitting me no end as the bike should be finished by now but because of nothing else has been done like painting/powder coating. Nice!! Thought you were going to use different wheels? Cheers !! Nah was always gunna keep the spokes, Ive got a 21" front rim here for it but need to lower the forks first...... that will be for another day and I might actually grab a second set so I can run 2 different combo's.
November 16, 201312 yr Author Chopped and mounted my front fender, need to shave the old fender mounts of the legs. Omega Tank is a snug fit round the dipstick.
November 16, 201312 yr I have a pair of cast rims from Germany in very good condition (classic 18" rear and 19" front), if that's something you'd like....

You do understand the concept of a bar hopper/bobber yeah ? I am a tea-totaller, never spent much time in bars so my education is sadly lacking in some areas. So, high performance and handling isn't a priority....OK Well it look pretty damn good so far as a custom bike. Pity about the sparky not getting his bit finished.
