And here's piston comparo for Roy , sorry not rb26 but a rb25 - 87mm piston up beside an rb20det 78.5mm piston hope this might be of some help Cheers Peter

It seems to be ,just the bigend 's are different the rb 20det one even seems a little bigger directly under the little end Cheers Peter

Had this same problem even with spitfire's had to gap em down to .6mm b4 I could get it to work properly Cheers Peter

no rb26 but i got a set of rb25 pistons but I think you will have an issue with gudgen pin height cheers peter

Hi Guys found this intresting, while I have my engine pulled down to compare the rod's between the rb20 and rb26 since I've heard the rb26 rods are good for 650 hp stock what are the rb20 rods good for ????? .I've seen comparisons between the rb25 and 26 rods big differance there but to my surprise not a great deal in the rb20 apart from the big end and length but you decide check the pic's these are just 2 differant views of rods rb20 rod on the bottom and on the left these with the rb20 rod on top these rb26 rod on top side view

Well, yes I have 3 and a bike and glad to hear its near finished, wish you speed and good luck with it I know your hanging to get it back, I cant wait to have this one finished and its only me gotta do all the work I gather it would be twice as bad waiting for someone else to do it for you Cheers Peter

Hi guys Just trying to find out if theres anyone out there makes replacement glass for r32 bug eye headlights got 2 sets both with driverside glass broken Cheers Peter

I have a set how much were you looking at paying for them Cheers Peter

Go the busa

Hi Steve Is this still going ,im after the thermostat set up as I already have the remote filter and cooler , If so would you please pm me the details Cheers Peter

Someone's gotta have one they don't want

Hi Bob I agree with the sv650 but I don't think that they will be in your pricing range some of the older zzr600 would be a good buy if you could find them for the price though now is the time for looking . Sprockets are not all that expencive chains are, good ones anyway, my sprockets are still the originals and still in new condition after 10,000 klms i beleive regular checking and lubing of the chain prolongs life of both chain and sprockets,you might fint most of the 600 type bikes you try will all feel a bit racey for you being tall .Best of luck finding one they are fun Cheers Peter
