RossMcd Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Well I done a search to see if this kind of thread has been done before and nothing came up so i decided to make one well... Ill start it off.I was using a pair of halfords foam grips and they began to get ripped and they had big holes in them. So I was in my shed looking for spare grips and couldnt find any. then I saw an old inner tube, so I cut it to the right size and slid it over the foam grip.They are soo comfy and suprisingly they are not slippy like some grips. they are soft and unlike foam grips you cannot feel the bar.So post up pics of things that you have bodged EDIT: No homemade tensioners in this thread Edited May 13, 2008 by RossMcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossMcd Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) I done a Complete search of the forum and nothing really came up just post pics of anything as long as it has a bodge of some sorts.

Simpson Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 drilled and re-threaded them to M6, that's why the self-made booster.Why not just drill through the bolts on your old booster?I cut my RB booster down to a 2 bolt cos i only had 2 long bolts, and couldnt be assed to search for any more....

spaceman Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I didn't have a real booster then, that's why.It did work, however (for a month cos it was really thin). I cut it in the centre to make way for the clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Haha, that's better To be fair - I had more of an issue with M6 bolts wearing down too much than the threads in the frame themselves.If you can, helicoil it, if not then tapping to M6 will suffice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
