  1. thanks guys! yeah ive seen his work, super lush. have a few contacts up here to whip me up a chamber but might give him a call if it falls through.
  2. massive thanks to Matt, Sam and Karl at GHQ for the decals. turned out so good! went for Kevin Schwantz's '93 GP winning Lucky Strike Suzuki RGV500 livery. absolute hero. pine. went down a treat at the old school meat in palmy (amongst the RB hacks and mum's primeras) now for an expansion chamber! do i know any fabricators...
  3. 2 stroke takeover is on the cards! ringdings for miles. although AX100s do have gay gboxes being fourspeeds.
  4. Thanks fellas! Still unsure on how i am going to mount the seat once its upholstered. I'm using the tank bolts at the moment which will be covered and i obviously don't want to drill holes into nice new upholstery. Any ideas? I have heard of some screws you drill into the base and they lock in or something whack? then drill holes in frame and away you go?
  5. finally got bike back from the shop today. stoked on the new shoes! pirelli city demons, 300x18 front and 350x18 on the rear. massive stagger cos they were out of stock in the 325's for the rear. also covered seat with a sheet of foam i grabbed from work, not a fan of the pink treatment. signwriters fitting my stickers in to his busy schedule, so will have them some time next week. then looking at getting the seat covered. wanna go for a bit of tuck and roll, will look grouse!
  6. drill some holes in exhaust, you wont regret it. or take exhaust off, they sound like V8s haha
  7. spent the weekend painting the fork covers, rear shocks and tank! tank job didnt come out as good as i wanted, got way too keen painting at 10:30 at night and didnt dry fully the next morning. wiping down the tank some of the fibres stuck to the paint... got most of it off with thinners. will give her a sand down and a respray once i can be fucked. off to courtesy motorcycles tomorrow for some new tread! stoked. also getting some stickers made up for a bit of 90's GP livery. even more stokage!
  8. Thanks man, yeah its a late 80s model, has no plates or anything so just going off the graphics compared to photos ive seen. you definitely should! would be grouse to see more bikes. they were well received by the crowd!
  9. lil bit of progress, mounted factory tail light using the old seat bracket and the trusty makita 12v. unsure if i wanna use the factory indicators as well, they are way to massive. cannot find any aftermarket, single wire indicators anywhere. does anyone have a set of nice looking single wire ones? i have a set of chinese LED ones but they are 2 wired, if i use both indicator connectors to the loom they work. is there anyway i could somehow add an extra set of connectors to the loom? haha. stoopid 6v motorcycles. hopefully gonna chuck some new tyres on in the next week or two!
  10. am still waiting for a 2 wheeled nationals.... i never saw that one but there have been a few popping up recently eh, there was a project one on there last week. dude only wanted 400 bucks for it! looked pretty cool too.
  11. along with my shitty CG110 ive been procrastinating with forever, i could not resist this thing's charm at Big Al's motorcycle wreckers in palmy was a recovered stolen bike from somewhere around levin, hence the ignition has been pried away at with a flathead. cannot fault it though, rides like an absolute dream. and everything works! am putting it off re-vinning until i can source moar funds and once i get my licence. even made it to Old School Palmy meet last night! im not the only one with one of these bad boys on OS and have been loving everyone's builds. got rid of a whole bunch of gay shit off the rear end. mudguard will go back on for wof spec. slapped on skateboard seat base for a giggle, and it looks rad. also bought some low rise bars from the modern motorcyle company. getting seat covered and wider tyres will probs be my next investments. also waiting for good friend Mitch to get to cashies status at his new job to fab me up an expansion chamber. long term i would like to remove dash and relocate ignition, thankfully helmet covers it in the photo haha. want it looking something like this has anyone seen this? saw it on instagram and buzzed at the NZ plate. hopefully have more updates soon! would love to know what you guys think and what i should do to it
  12. anyone joining the two wheel contingent? excuse vcr footage spec photo
  13. that is so sick! i just bought one of these for haha, super excited to build it up. these are rad
  14. cos i was an OS grom i posted my build in wrong thread... admin can delete old post. so i have had this for a couple of months and the terrible task of rewiring everything and replacing a kickstart spring have left me struggling for motivation. mostly because i lack knowledge and decent tools to remove crankcase screws. today i was far too bored and decided to take off the guards and remove the airbox shit. i like it! am probably gonna scrap battery and run straight off of the flywheel/engine, so i can keep the clean look cos battery sits in the airbox assembly. how do i do this? already starts without a battery, just have no electrics other than that. also, can someone tell me what this is? thought it was a regulator type thing but it doesnt look like a conventional one really wanna get this thing on the road (legally)! your help would be greatly appreciated!
  15. sorry for sifting through month old posts, but this build looks sick. any updates? also are those the michelin m45? keen to get some for my CG, look alg.
  16. haha... we lit that fucker on fire multiple times... but aite i will give it a good clean. this is the tab as you can see its fucked and when you put it on it ust keeps spinning around. and i have no choke cable haha. any kind of linear cable should work though right? I am familiar with the FR50 ones, my mate has one. they look a lot different but idk what the mount/hole looks like on them.
  17. So I'm just gonna resurrect this from the archives. this speed demon has been in hiding for the past year or so, exchanging owners like a taiwanese housemaid. Mitch swapped this thing for an escort with our mate sonny, who did nothing with it. after some haggling i managed to score it for $60 and a dolphin catcher of some shitty import beer from the exotic section in countdown. After a few hours of cleaning out the tank and a good carb clean, we got her running. it runs like a champ sometimes, but most days it is a fucking faggot and refuses to start. only way to get her firing is pouring some fuel down the spark plug hole and manually choking it (finger in the carb) for what seems like hours. has no choke cos the little tab on the handlebar snapped, and a replacement is way too expensive for what it is. Does anyone have any tricks on how to get it to start properly? the fuel tank is still pretty dirty, but the more i clean it the more mess i make and i dont have the time or patience to sit there for a whole day, or even longer, rattling stones through it. looking at the fuel filter, there's not a lot of shit in it. it has the tendency to splutter but if you wiggle the fuel line it squirts more into the carb and away it goes. ive cleaned out the hoses countless times and there's nothing blocking them. Are my jets whack? airflow on the piss? i am puzzled. when it runs it hauls ass. the fact that this is registered restores my faith in this country's transport agency. We are in the process of forming a small gang in p norf, shall be a good time. name yet to be agreed on. in terms of looks, am probs gonna reupholster the seat in an off-white to match the plastics. any other suggestions? will update with more shenanigans and breakthroughs on mechanical issues!
