Title: car weight
Post by: rockinpete on July 23, 2012, 07:30:22 PM

Hi,
New to this site and have a 126bis with a Honda CBR1000 fitted.
1. Does anybody know the weight of a 126bis at the front wheels (working out the spring weight for the coilover shocks) or has anyone got any info on spring rates.
2. Also is the brake master cylinder OK to use with the disc conversion or does it require other mods.
Cheers
Pete

I think axle weight is on the mot certificate. Think it was just over 200kg's. Couple of Honda C90 springs should probably do it  ;D

It has bike springs on it now and if you get in the boot and jump up and down it does not move at all so you may not be far out with c90 springs. No axle weight on the MOT
