If it is a 2 Stroke just make sure you have the locating pin lined up with the rings. Most times I just rock it a bit and let the tapper do its thing.

Well I didn't make it to Burt Munro but I have been riding the piss out of it. Last month while riding back from Lake Ferry I had a bad "ping" that I could not tune out with the manual timing advance. So when I got home I pulled the primary and set up a Deg. wheel to check timing. Glad I did because I found the primary chain master link was missing half of it and three of the chain rollers where broken off. Installed a new chain and reset the timing to 32 deg fully advanced. Well see next weekend if it made those noises go away.

Once this is worked out I can fix my car

I have shit loads of jets what sizes does he need. Also have needle shims.

That chart is pretty neat but jets are measured by flow rates not bore sizes.

I heard the last one had over 500 bikes show up. They expect over a 1000 this time around. Should be good

Hoping to ride the Matchless over, but will be none the less

Dude tell me how this is any different to a electric car someone would buy for there kids. River bank is sweet as. Just try keep off public roads I guess. Also. This thing is rad

Well it was made from a nifty fifty honda so it is petrol powered, I just assumed the laws would be different. They have all those signs down by the river that say no recreational vehicles. I was hoping to take him on longer rides while I ride my bicycle but just didn't want to have issues.

Cool! I haven't had a problem with cops yet, I think I'm just used to the cops back in the US being complete pricks.  

I have been taking him down by the river but I don't want to get hassled by the cops. I also don't want it taken from him or impounded. It doesn't go more then 15kph. Are there open riding areas around?

If you still need a hand I will be doing nothing on saturday.

Things like this make me wish I had a Estate instead of a Saloon.

That's fine with me.  I need to find a good place to get my car WOF since every time I take it in they make it a mission to find something wrong.

If you have a park light switch you must have a park light and it must work. If you don't have a switch you don't need one. As for the tail ight does it have the correct writing on the lens? Sounds like a picky inspector to me.

Any bike wof people on here?

Do clipons need a cert? And is a rear mudguard a requirement if you make a Cafe style seat?

Clip ons don't but you could fail because of cable routing or brake lines. As for the mud guard/bump stop it depends on the year. It must cover a amount of the tire that will vary depending on year. Also it could fail because of how it is mounted. I have several guy with custom bikes who come by the shop and get their WOF.

We used to fill up at airports all the time. Mainly because the pump gas in CA was shit but you could still get high octane leaded fuel at the airport. You guys are lucky here the pump gas is great!

Really tempted to throw an extra 2 degrees in there...

 

Not sure how it'll sit with the 6" over forks, I want the bottom rails to sit fairly square with the pavement

You will want it to sit with the lower raile going upward in the front by about 1 to 2 inches. when you are not sitting on it. If ont they tend to smash the front of the frame into the pavement when going into petrol stations. I have made that mistake before.

Yes you need them but I do see people getting their WOF I failed a Bike about that a couple weeks ago and they guy took it over to VTNZ and they passed it, so he came back all pissed off.

Looks like it is getting there.

Oh really !! That's something I'm gonna need in a few days ! Your headlight and taillight have polished up well and are all mounted up ! Will need to swap them out for compliance tho as they have no markings on the lenses

That is the same thing I have to do to my Matchless. They got me on the fact my light was made to a later spec then the year of my bike. So to keep it I would have to add turn indicators to it.

Man at Southwards Auto jumble sunday a guy had the perfect king queen two piece seat that would have fit this bike perfect

Found out the other day it is the first day of BMX so I will be taking the kid to race if there is no rain. I was looking forward to doing a "Cruz" for once. Oh well.

Sounds like fun we are keen too.

Pretty sweet. I thought that if they had better fuel consumsion they would have sold alot better. Nothing like big torque V-twins and windy roads.

I plan to stop in ChCh on the way down. I want to see Smash Palace if they are still open then.

It would be cool to meet up. I would like to check out your bike in person.

I was able to repair the fork tube so that was good but the motor was smoking to bad to pass. I was unable to find the correct piston rings so I found som for the correct bore size and remachined the pistons to hold them. I also machined the valve guides to run seals.

I just see time ticking away and I plan on riding to the Burt Munro Challenge in Nov. Riding down the South Island by myself. That makes me really want to finish this soon so I have time to work out any bugs before I leave.

Pretty sweet.

Whats the plan for the bars?

So is this really happening?
