so i bought this from mega GC Tim off of here, when it popped up cheap i had to snap it up -jap import -1800 8v (G60?) -auto -boat spec body is fairly straight, little bit of rust creeping underneath the windscreen, and some poor attempts at rust repairs on the rear hatch. the engine performs okay considering its size and spec, however it leaks oil out the engine/crankcase breather? i assume built up pressure in the crank, or a line somewhere is blocked. if anyone knows more info on these and how to remedy would love to hear. plans are to give it a well needed cut and polish, give the springs a bosch haircut, fellow golf foamers let me know your thoughts on suitable adjustable suspension for these. from what ive seen Raceland ones seem to be pretty good. acquire wide 13s from japans and perhaps a manwell box later on. inspiration

woah have done fuck all with this thing. so i took it to polished rockers, it was a good time. old geezers couldnt believe how loud it was haha grouse thanks to chunk he gave me a seat that he had made for his ax100 above, but opted for a more cafe racer style so i happily took it off his hands. i also took the battery out and its holder, also cleaned up the carb and intake. made the guts of the bike look a little better i have a piece of cut up guard that i will use for this, and slap a nice wee tail light on it. and perhaps should mount some indicators. to make it look semi legal haha think i will scrap the oil tank and live the premix life, also find another pod filter or equivalent and make it look super clean. so yeah, pining for the DGR this year, and QCR rides??? ke3n

nice car! i have always enjoyed these, until the era of ugly boxy rear guards. i expect cheviot turbos and mudflaps on the ground mate.

looking sharp in the CBD mayte!

Cheesin for this. Come and smash a pizza back cunce

inspection-less revin? discuss!

your last vid doesn't sound too bad. how many clips does the needle have? I found on my bike (mikuni 20mm carb) when I raised the needle one below middle, it took a while for throttle to engage, there was nothing at 1/4 and very little 1/2 a throttle. however stock jet so it might be different to your set up. I guess like most 2nangers just plug chop until satisfied. do these jets fit all mikunis? I have a vm24 I need to upjet for my gp125, wanna flick one or two off?

how do you go about running LED's and all that jazz off a 6v system? would like to retrofit some better 12v stuff to my little bikes

i run one of those chambers for my ax100, they have a pretty good power increase. and a really easy design to work with the bike. The length of your header will change the powerband, ol' mate has probably discussed that, so if you went for a moto-x style header and chamber above the engine results may vary. one of those AX pipes on your bike will be fine, they have similar specs. bump it up a jet size and perhaps a colder plug and you'll be away

Nothing i can really do, neither can the police by the sounds. Got a quote this morning for 280+gst to redo the rear quarter and blend door and bumper etc so not as bad as i thought. Still a shit load of money for a student to pull out of nowhere. Next step is probs a camera somewhere up the drive

thanks spence. my thoughts exactly, considering how tidy i had kept the it and the owners before me.

Not really the post i want to be making, but may have happened to someone on here. So between last night and 4pm some chutney ferrit poured paint stripper on my car. dont know why, how, or when, i have no clue where to even begin. my guess is some little hoodlum who raided his dads shed and wanted to use some of his meth ingredients is an old 5series e34, luxorbeige colour, no doubt been discontinued and will have to be matched. by the time i had found it, most panel and paint places had shut up shop and too hard to explain over the phone, so im wondering if anyone knows what will be required to fix this. just the quarter panel, or full respray? and any other tasks involved. id assume it needs to be sanded or bogged. if any panel beaters on here have a rough guestimate on the price, that'd be cool. just so i know what im in for. will take it into panel beaters on monday for a proper look but just wanted to know what im dealing with in the mean time. thanks in advance

that would have been epic. will have to wait for the next wellington ride to see you cats in action.

well deserved, their perspex magneto covers were genius.

thats awesome that you guys rode down. we trailered to a friends place and went for a decent nang to the venue. anyone know who won the prizes etc?

so yeah, this was sweet. so many rad old bikes i cheesed

Ok so me and another dude are gonna make an appearance here on our AX100's. Can we make a a sweet oldschool contingent?

potential /ling here but why does wheel not rotate when it idles? being auto i assumed it always spins if it can, or is it something to do with the new rollers?

anyone else gonna bring their bike? kinda like seedy's idea haha

ill be there with bells on mayte

+1 for elf, expenny but worth it. I think motul you can get for around $25 a litre, unsure if your premixing or not but some of it tends to be for premixing only rather than autolube. this is so awesome though, unbelievable speeds for a 50cc!

man so much pine (literally) over your acreage amazing amount of effort put in. definitely living the dream! would be an ideal little bed n breakfast type arrangement, for punters wanting to re-live the pioneer experience such as yourself

pls resched dolan or come cruise to reefton so I can participate

nice score on that 535! I saw it on trademe (if im thinking of the same one) and damn that was good buying. any plans for the shell? Im keen on some small trim bits if she's headed to a wreckers

good, good. yeah my fz was the same, my record was about 55km/h no mods and a whole lot of weight reduction. even rarer of the F series is the FY50, never seen one in nz tho. those wheels look similar to the Honda chaly wheels, are they three piece? you should look at yahoo jp auctions for some wide wheels, come in sweet sizes
