So having said hi I guess I best start doing some work, my kit arrives in a couple of weeks hopefully and I've been merrily stripping an R1. Its a 2000 so carb model to keep life nice and simple. A few bits have sold but still got stuff to shift to make space, most of the rear end is now serviced and ready to go, new bearings, anodised/painted and re-sealed.
I would like to put pictures up but could someone tell me how to do it on an iPhone please cos I can't work it out 😣 I'm much safer with nuts and bolts than technology..........

Hi Andy, First: Foto's are uploaded to a picture hosting site, like photobucket. ( www.ebizmba.com/articles/image-hosting-websites ) Second: On this forum only links are placed to the actual picture on the web. There are threads on this forum exactly explaining how to do it. |

Wow. That fairing looks really sweet! During the dissasembly I made pics , put the parts in bags and made adds every day which made the process less fuzzy. Your wife did a great job. Great to share a hobby!  br, Erik |

So a bit more practice at the photo thing and all is now well👍 as well as getting the wife involved I've now completed the family when my daughter decided that the rear wheel makes a great toy.  And in reply to am I on pistonheads lots the answer is nope not me, this is the first forum I have used and I'm learning every time I use it 😃 |

Thanks,
If you put a 3mm spacer on top of a 35mm won't that make them an ET32? As the spacer takes the hub face closer to the centre line of the rim? Or am I back to front😳

Or am I back to front😳 Sorry Andy...ignore my last measurements Ive just checked my wheels and they have an ET of 40mm +A 5MM spacer so as you rightly said it would be a total ET of 35mm My wheels are 15in rota slipstream and the wheel nuts only have a small amount of thread showing through the wheel which has always bothered me so I ideally want longer studs. I don't know if its the same for other wheels though. Cheers Kevin |

No worries, I wasn't sure myself but thought I'd ask, I guess as long as there is 1x diameter of thread in the nut then It should be fine and I would think you would have found out by now if there was a problem😁
I plan to go for 16's as I like the bigger wheel but would also like some tyre side wall to help things out a bit 👍
