  1. I'd imagine you would do a full under tray for hyper mileing I want to do one fory nissan (and catching drips)
  2. Old rubber lines swell up inside and act like a 1 way valve. I had this on the rear line on thr morrie, was letting the rears stuck on
  3. Mine had a vin plate on it so I was able to prove it had been on the road before and it was just a standard revin/rerego A nz vin plate isn't needed, just the frame number can be used, they will probably fix a vinplate to it at the inspection BUT If yours was never on the road you might have some issues, you may be able to get a letter from Suzuki stating that that model was road legal, and get it legal that way. Some guys on here have done similar with old hondas I think. You may also have to prove where the bike came from I.e a list of which frame numbers were imported into nz from suzuki, and that might be a hard one Mine was actually registered previously in Japan and imported a few years later, there's only about 5 registered ones that I recall seeing in the data from ltsa, so they may have all been imported used (there's also a couple of sp200 in nz, they were the official road legal version, they have red plastics)
  4. Drive it everyday because it only. Takes 35mph to outrun your troubles Funniest part of driving the commer was taking 1.5 light cycles to get across the terapa rd traffic lights, even with a running start
  5. THEY TURNED MY BOY INTO A BOX, A BOX GODDAM YOU
  6. Yeah that's where I got mine. Better than an old pot lid for sure
  7. Oh another thing I picked up from one of thesw videos was finding the point in the oil can that needs addressing. Using both hands you go around the area that pops in and out. At some point you will be able to press down on one spot and the rest won't want to pop any more
  8. Can you get fine tip for lpg? For me at least an oxy act rig is a bit much admin Also, practice on something else first. My ute was evidently the apprentice practice rig when it was built by the workshop judging from, well everything.... The roof had been shrunk with a torch, but they fucked it up, lost most of the crown, ended up just pushing it in and carving a new one out of bog A disk is certainly fairly amateur friendly, it doesn't shrink too much in one go sort of thing This was a good video
  9. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322311293881 Gwan get some mitsi parts Probably available used as they are the only part that won't rust off
  10. I have a set of shrinking disks, they are gold, did my rooted cab roof with them and got it near perfect. A guide coat, then zing with the disk till you see the high bits. Spray with water in a spray bottle. Hammer up low spots. Repeat
  11. Lost about 1 minute over a week, which is about as new for one of those, certainly pretty great now that it's 75 odd years old. Suits me, Just roll it forwards a minute at church on a sunday
  12. I did upsidedown lawnmower and dog hair transporter wingroad seats with a water blaster and thr carpet shampooer machine, then water blast till water ran clear. Big difference
  13. Try this, it's also got some fitment of you wanted to measure up at a wrwcker https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-300-337-Power-Steering-Pulley/dp/B01M3Q2XGF You can also put part numbers into rockauto. Try this one too 12605677
  14. One of those speedy Honda ones maybe https://www.speedscience.co.nz/products/tegiwa-power-steering-pulley-dc5

  16. Enough of that nonsense (press the sleeve out of a GN and run the piston in that in the standard cylinder to maintain std head) I went and picked up 2 engines tonight. One complete and supposedly running, although backfiring (has a China pod filter on it) and a second junker parts engine. Guy had lots of other parts, but I refused, because putting decent parts on this is a slippery slope to a 100hrs paintjob
  17. I think actually something like an lt185 has 1cm less cylinder height as well. I forget if it uses a Dr200 piston tho which has a bigger pin. But no, I'm not doing that, I just happened to have that sitting on the shelf
  18. You can fit a gn125 cylinder with some slotting of the bolt holes apparently. (that's actually an an125 cylinder but it's almost the same) looks like there's enough meat to do that. 2 on the right are pretty close Is about 1cm taller
  19. The aux tank is the main reason I took it, but I might keep it for my other bikes Have original carb and new carb. Original is probably fine, it didn't look too bad Hone - nah its fucked, cylinder is all pitted. What I think happened is someone got it not running, gave it a hone and new piston, despite the bore being stuffed, and maybe it ran for a minute or two before the rust fell out of the pits and it stopped forever. I wouldn't trust my cousins recollection of it running Possibly can take it out to 1mm or 1.25, will see, aliexpress cylinders don't look to be correct. Same pin size as a GN125 tho...
  20. Looks like a fairly low hr 0.50 over piston in there too, but intake is scored. Rtv gaskets Timing was way out I think it had a rebuild not that long ago I might pull a side cover and look down the cylinder hole and see how I feel about the bottom end. Cam has some scratches on the edge of both the lobes, which may be normal as thrybare right on the edge and not where the rockers rub. At this stage I would like another 90 engine for it, possibly just a good top end. Maybe some front and rear shocks. I think there must be these components floating around after lifan, hard tail, and disc front end swaps?
  21. I don't really want a lifan But also this
  22. Armed with a stripped down loom, I sprayed some petrol in the carb And nothing Cleaned the points, and now getting spark. Not amazing spark, but it's there. Got it to chuff on a couple of kicks, but that's about it. I will next test the coil, condenser, clean out the carb and probably do a leak down test, but it's promising at least. If the above checks out, I will make up a new loom, I have a feeling the coil might have gotten a bit too warm in it's little oven space
