SP fairings on Ok!Shon

Paul sent me a link to an auction on Ok!Shon
It was a company in Japan making plastic (ABS) fairings painted up exactly like the original MC18 R6k. Terra Racing on White and Silver.

They have an instant "buy now" of JPY 64,800 yen which is about NZD$970. (USD$690).

Seems like a fairly reasonable price!
I rang Paul to get him to buy them, as I don't have an Ok!Shon account, but he was away from the phone. Hopefully these will come up on Ok!Shon again regularly.
Only thing missing is the tank.

Looks like the company name/brand is "Exaray"

Some text from the translated auction text:

Products are outside the cowl. Parts & Decals cowl painted outside (clear) the hotel has a beautiful finish. Our material is ABS plastic products.

It is hand-made products ※, and some small scratches or distortion, please forgive me. 御座Imasu process can be adjusted if needed to fit the bike parts custom parts because it is outside.

NSR250 Frame and Suspension geometry

I have been playing around with a 2D CAD package trying to get a handle on the NSR Frame and Suspension geometry. [More to come]



The dimensions shown (if readable?) are not at all necessarily correct, but I am working on it.

Paul picked up Engine and Rear Shock

Yesterday, being Easter Friday, 2nd April 2010, Paul picked up the NZD$300 engine and the SP rear shock from Auckland's North Shore. He had a bit of a play around with them when he got them back home. He also picked up various other bits for Dave and himself.

Unfortunately, there were signs of corrosion inside the cylinders and primary combustion area. I am hoping that this is not too bad. It would be nice if the crankshaft and the good barrel were salvageable. Time will tell.

Paul did a good job cleaning the shock and also tidied up the engine a fair bit. I will get the shock sent to Goudenz Gisler at Gisler Moto Technic in Tuakau to get it re-gassed for about NZD$80 I hope.

Maybe I might try to go in with some mates and buy a bead blaster that we can all share. Bead blasting the external surfaces of the crankcases, barrels, heads, etc really makes the engine look like new.
