A very guilty Hi Smallkat......... I promised you the bits for your GS550 carbs ages ago, but life well and truly got in my way. If you Email me your address, I'll post them up to you. You will need some new needle valves as I used these on another of my builds. I left mine in the corner under a cov...

Spent an hour offering up the Triumph Nissins. Short story short, they fit absolutely fine. They bleed easily and give a firm lever. Cheap as chips too, £45! Only slight downside is that Triumph is embossed on the caliper face, you could easily grind that off if it really offends! Would take a photo...

Just a quick addendum. For my sins I'm building up a ZZR600, another basket case. The Tokico calipers on this do not work, mainly because they didn't come in the multitude of boxed bits. I bought what I presumed were replacement Nissins, but the mounting spacing is different (90mm, the Kwaks are 63m...

I know this is an interloper in the 'purity' of the Kat community, but this is the one I spent a little time putting back together.

Not been on for a bit so missed the posts. In the process of selling my Aprilia too as it's time to acknowledge that old age is a b*tch and I am not immune.

A very tentative posting, more to test the waters. I am thinking of selling the Kat, not because I have fallen out with her, far from it. It is, in fact, a little too nice for my kind of riding. I don't thrash my bikes, but I do like to keep up a good pace. The little Kat is quite happy to do that, ...

hi dean
Have a complete set ready to go. If you can hold off for a few more weeks I'll be able to run up to you and show you how. Either that or rebuild yours. These didnt cost a lot, just time respacing them.
cheers

BDST 28mm. You are stuck with them for the time being so renew gaskets, use E5 and definitely put a fuel filter between carb and tank.

Hi tigcraft. Not sure what the carbs are on the 250, I do know its a different engine type, a photo of them might help. As it is, I am looking for alternatives to the BS32s to fit on the Bandit VC I am working on. It ran great, until the damn carbs started floding... again! They will need to be slim...
