June 3, 200620 yr just thought i might show you some mods ive made to my 06 290. let me know what you think. theres a billet flywheel cover (very bored at work one day, had a lathe and 12" piece of T6 alloy kicking about) seals perfect now. a carbon/ally rear sharks fin disc guard a carbon fibre engine mud guard a rubber flap protecting the shock the rear box guard i also made from a bit of left over carbon fibre the carbon fibre on the frame and clutch cover is real sticky back carbon fibre sheet from ebay works well and stops a lot of scratches. cheers for looking.

June 3, 200620 yr Author cheers mate heres a pic of the whole bike and yes it does get used!! almost every weekend in fact i just like a really shiny bike
June 3, 200620 yr you bike is looking amazing. nice mods aswell. ive got a kehin carb but i need a new pipe that goes from back of carb to the airbox, could anybody tell me where i could get this new pipe made up from? cheers scott
June 3, 200620 yr Is it because youve got a gap between the carb and air box tube ? I know for the gassers you can get a metal adapter for them from ebay which the guy is on here ..not sure if it fits a sherco tho..

June 3, 200620 yr Measure the inside diameter and go to your local auto parts shop and buy a piece of radiator hose the right diameter. You will have to get a long piece and cut off the right amount. Get at least one new radiator hose clamp (for the carb air horn) while you are there. Wayne
June 4, 200620 yr Very nice!!! is that carbon sticky stuff also on the chasis, near the footpegs? is it proper carbon fibre or just a sticker. Will be gettin my 06 soon, you have given me some good ideas. what about the metal cover for the flywheel? i know you made that one, but is there anywhere that sells these? Cheers Edited June 4, 200620 yr by Peter_GasGas
June 5, 200620 yr Author hi sorry it took a while to get back but the sticky stuff is real carbon fibre but is flexible with a strong 3M adhesive on the back cut it out with scissors. dont know if anyone makes the flywheel cover though i just made it too see if i could! the guy selling the carbon stick sheet on ebay is called stewarts f1 carbon there about
June 6, 200620 yr Author just in case any one wants to know what the item number is for the carbon fibre stuff his ebay name is stuf2 but try this. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Real-Carbon-Fibre-sh...1QQcmdZViewItem or item number 8071845921 there are other people selling the same stuff just type in to seach box "carbon fibre sheet" on all catagorys. though for value for money his is the best and turns up next day always have a spare sheet so you can replace bits as they ware. hope this helps. the carbon stuff on my bike has done three trials so lasts quite well
