  1. I want to tell people they have done a shit job face to face
  2. I am thinking about getting the rims blasted and painted black as the chrome is bad, this would save alot of time and money, I am wondering if I should mask up the hubs and then get them powder coated? its hard to find a place that will do a good job, I had a real with a place where I was sending lots of frames and parts to get powder coated and I would prime them with PA10 and he would bake them then coat and re bake and $60 a frame, he dose not work there anymore and they will not coat etch primed frames and they want like $200.
  3. If my calculations are correct it should go well, I still have to advance the exhaust port to get the full benefits, this is going to be horrible on the ears.
  4. i found a rope mop worked the best, soft one didn't do anything
  5. Phone has no credit but expansion chamber is mostly finished, its tuned for doing wheelies and fucking peoples grass. since the chrome if fucked on the rims I might blast the whole wheel and paint the rims black at home and send the frame to a place to be blasted and 2K chassis paint if its cheep. I am trying to find a 1973 TM cylinder head
  6. if you get a brand new buffing wheel you can polish plastic to an extent
  7. Ended up cutting a strip of paper that fitted around the pipe then fold it in half and cut tapering angles on it, worked well, It was confusing with all the talk about degrees and stuff that was unnecessary
  8. can someone point me where I could get some templates to print off to make pie cuts in 4" tube to make bends? I cannot think of a way to do it as I only have grinders no way to clamp it at a set angle
  9. I found them in a salvation army shop, brand new for $8
  10. Made them from 4” exhaust tube,
  11. I need to cut the rear frame loop behind the rear shocks and bring the handle fward and make it swoop up more. This is another TS in TM trim,
  12. Got some new TM reproduction mud guards today, will mock them up tonight, also found the bike had thrown the chain off and it has broken the plastic cap over the neutral switch and it bent the clutch pushrod, not a major but I now need those 2 parts, don't need a neutral switch but the plastic cap holds the oil in the gearbox. also got the steel to start making the new exhaust.
  13. Where in West auckland can i get a few short lengths of 4" exhaust tube?
  14. I had a triumph PI someone had brazed in a T into one of the pressure lines and then brazed in a return to the tank on the pump to bleed off pressure
  15. I fixed a Beta clutch basket that had broken one of those clutch spring spigots, made a new one from alloy bar and got it welded back in
  16. Sold all the crap today, people were fighting over it. Now I can start making the parts o need before a total strip down, de bracket the frame etc.
  17. If I find another one I will let you know, they seem to be very common,
  18. 1st I will make a down sweaped exhaust, I think the yellow bike has an expatiation chamber from a late model MX bike witch has a wedge cut out to make it straight? also I need to get some guards, my old work as alloy guards like on the yellow bike but I might just go with plastic and paint them, I am thinking Suzuki TF125 mud bug front guard with the mudflap removed, if anyone has one? still looking for ideas for a rear guard Also a pair of TF125 rear shocks would work, was someone here buying one for the front forks?
  19. Here is my bike, its not as bad as it looks, it hasn't been apart I think and it is just rusty, the guy just sprayed everything silver, I recovered the cost of most of the bike by selling the exhaust and the rest of the stuff in the pile.
  20. Hello, I have been after a mid 70s Suzuki TS250 for a wile, I really wanted a TM250 but they don't come up often, I ended up getting on on facebook, plan is to turn it into something like this,
  21. Can someone help me find a LH mirror for a 1999 Toyota corrola hatch GLX 4A? I cannot find one where do I start?
  22. Anyone have a carb for this and a distributor drive? It’s a 2.2, and needs the straight drive bit for the dizzy
