Does anyone know what size object fits in the pair valve hose ???
I have read that if you use a marble to block it, but I would worry that if it broke there would be little bits of glass finding its way into the motor.
The next time I take my fairing off is when my r55 arrives and I hope to have a stainless steel ball bairing ready to insert into the pair hose.
I have turned the house upside down looking for a marble to measure and am thinking of hanging around the tin lids down the road lol

Cheers Mick

Gday Mick,
For what its worth, i have a 4>1 Brocks Full System on my K9.
As part of the Exhaust, i was given a black plastic/rubbery cap which neatly fits over the plastic "Flange/Donger thingo" which is on the RHS of the Airbox.
The "Donger" is the "Thingo" that the PAIR Hose slips over, at the Airbox.

So measuring the diameter of the "Donger" (a good job for a woman perhaps? Lol3 ) and a quick trip to the local Hardware Store may be better than a Marble in the Hose?!

Hope this helps?

Im also hoping my Technical Descriptions are understandable! Very Happy

Matt.

Thank you Kind people for your knowledge and time. The plates sound like the go Simmo. I have been bitten from paypal before but might take a chance again as this seems the best option

Got my plates and put them on.
You were right Pete, the holes were out. Lucky they are a bit bigger so I filed them to size. Made gaskets myself ( should be provided I say )and all seems ok. Left the bracket on and slid the wiring harness between the arms of the bracket.
Man they are the thickest reed valves i have ever seen.
What are they quarter gauge or what lol.
Purchased 5/8 plastic caps 6 for $2.?? from bunnings ( thanks daaef )and was a bit loose, and the clamps from the pair were to big so i wrapped some insulation tape around the pipe that comes off the air filter, pushed the cap on and then some more insolation tape around the rubber and pipe to make sure it stays there.
Come on R55. 4 weeks and counting
Cheers Mick
