finally got round to fitting expansion chamber! picked up an exhaust to cut up from olds cool autos. drama ensued when exhaust flange bolts were seized. one snapped off, another rounded. re-tapped holes and replaced with allen head bolts. grouse. ol' jimmy from work welded the chamber together. made a swingarm mount out of some steel plate. sounds unbelievable! like a sawn off shotgun. massive thanks to TMC for whipping it up, came out super lush! i want to paint it black as the header is rusty and a bit of surface rust is coming up on the chamber. have ordered small speedo and clubman bars from modernmotorcycle company. next job is relocating ignition and we're away caning!

yes! that bike has all good parts, except the exhaust which grabbed off of him went and had a look today, he has some really cool stuff in his shed. old kawi twin 2 stroke 250 thing, xr500, and a fr50 he wasn't keen on parting with. also heeeeaps of a50 stuff! a few speedos there if youre keen.

locking in GP125

Ben are these businesses common? had a quick google and find any locals. is this the equivalent to/would an auto electrician do this kinda stuff?

that is super sweet! are these things like the old BSA's and shift on the right and brake on the left? wondering what that crazy lever thing is haha

youre in the same boat as me haha, i have been caning mine around with a number plate off a different bike, no worries. makes me wonder if its worth paying the moneys just for a little rego tag. older versions of this bike (A50, A100) would be the way to go, but if you can make a speedo cable to fit, then pretty much any 6v speedo should be the go. im guessing anything suzuki and 6v cant have changed much over the years? then again i could be wrong. you could try Dime City Cycles for a one size fits all speedo, but i have found most of their stock suits 12v bigger bikes. then again theres always ali express

nice! have been using the same pic as you for inspiration as well haha. i have a TF125 or a DR250 headlight on mine, cant remember as the dude i bought it off put it on for free. is this thing warranted or registered?

better be of the two wheeled variety!

yes that makes sense, i would say most of the dealers who sold these kinds of bikes are long gone. both of mine (zuki ax100 and honda cg110) need re-vinning, more so the ax100 as its pretty much ready to go. all frame and engine numbers are there, but as far as i can see no specific VIN (maybe they use frame number?). hopefully suzuki nz can help with the year, is it worth going to VTNZ beforehand and seeing if it the numbers come up in the system? was a stolen/recovered then sold on by big al motorcycle wreckers but came with no plates. also: does bike need to be in ORIGINAL condition upon re-registration? have put new bars and bigger tyres on mine and re-mounted indicators etc.

i didnt even know they did motorbikes? are there certain registered VCC's that they use or can it be from any "classic" vehicle club? my old man is on the committee for post-classic motorcycle racing and vintage motocross, was wondering if his two cents would mean anything to them. these posts do not give me any confidence in re-registering my bike, considering i have NO proof of it being on the road in NZ before.

good find man! find a way to somehow mount the '50' engine on the fa50, then dort your way into the sunset

HALP put rear end together (mudguard indicators factory seat etc) and the back indicators arent working. weird cos everything worked fine before i took them off. they are only single wired so im assuming there's no earthing problems? put front indicators into the rear connectors. they dont work either, so its a connection problem. probably doesnt help that i dont have a working ammeter/voltmeter to check if i have current etc but i am rly puzzled. havent touched anything since i took them off to put new seat base on. everything else on the bike is functional except these, has anyone come across this problem before? the wiring diagram isnt really helping me either. EDIT: blown fuse... dunno why i thought of checking until now but what do ya know. hopefully these are cheap/will solve my problem

gotcha. i was wondering whether to weld it where header meets cone or inside factory cone.

ahhhhh, was under the impression all vehicles' rego was dropping. gay ftp john key

TMC been whipping up some magic in the kitchen.... done an awesome job, so stoked on it. so i am tossed up between putting it on asap for impulsive ringdings or being conservative kevin and waiting til after revin (really would like to wait til after july when regos will drop). anyone got a spare header lying around? lel

fuck yes! so amped for the pipe haha. the helmet i scored from trademe, some dude bought it and was wrong size for him. got bubble visor off motomail.co.nz free overnight courier was lush

nothing new on the cycle, but my bubble visor arrived today. lol'd at the "not legal for road use" sticker it came with.

do other areas post it on fagbook? how do they prevent these wide eyed, gutless goons from spoiling meet ups?

little update. got rid of the googly eyed old indicators. looks a lot better. made the front look a little less busy. will get onto the rear set when i can be fucked. expansion chamber is currently in the works, cannot wait for dorts.

yeah! it was a friend of ours in a silvia, those minitruck gavins (too cool to call them utes) told him he was at the wrong park up

if we convoy there the JDM as fuck hardparkers will probs tell us we're at the wrong meet again...

that is rad. synched motors like twin go karts sound amazing. i found this on some indian mods forum. he probs wheelied this through gridlock with his entire village on the mudguard like in those great videos

grouse, im looking for the loudest possible ringding maker as to maximise my ringdings. you have a pm TMC!

interesting! might have to give him a buzz then. are VTNZ and other legislative bodies of that nature touchers about expansion chambers? are bikes even noise tested on complaince? maybe just some wire wool up the pipe or something?
