I found that the cross over tube helped
Smooth out the burble you talk about at 5500-6000k rpm. I then made a boost bottle out of copper copper plumbing materials to see if it would help without having to spend a small fortune on a moose racing bottle. Which it did, I then fitted 6mm Reed spacers and found that it practically ironed out all of that 5.5-6k burble.

I did see your comment regarding cutting the spray bar down, it may or may not help. But if you've followed the Dave F mod and left that bit out. It's certainly worth doing the job correctly to rule out any teething problems.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much, managed to get hold of a tx500 hub for £40 about 5 mins ago. So I'm happy 

Good morning all,

I'm currently gaining parts to swap over my R5 to disc, I have acquired a set of TX500 forks & RD triple trees. The fork stanchions on the TX500 forks are in poor state. But the sliders are fine. My R5 stanchions are in good condition.

My question is do we think the R5 stanchions, damper rods & springs will fit into the TX500 sliders. I know the obvious answer is to fit a whole RD front end, but I'm trying to use parts that I've accumulated for free to keep costs down.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts ,

Cheers,

Mitch
