  1. Who needs directions when you can just follow the aromas of a pack of dudes chuffin' back coffin nails and a trail of empty lion brown cans?
  2. I have the back of an 80 year old so had to change my bars, final rendition of east cape cycle 2020, shakedown dust and all
  3. Tbh that wear pattern started from ripping a phat skid after too many lion browns at a doc lodge in the middle of nowhere. I fixed it
  4. Shakedown/Range testing complete, smashed heaps of gravel, nearly took out some local wildlife on the way including but not limited to; About 5 hares, a sheep, two pukekos and a dead possum. job tidy, adv FR is good to go - managed to get about 120 odd km to the stock gas tank.
  5. There’s a listing for these 3L jerry cans on trademe just spendy considering they’re ali ones, I think the tm listing is for $71 or something crazy.
  6. I rode it for about half a day in decent rain on another ride we did and it was all good, gave it death and it didn’t explode job tidy. plus a little bit of moisture shouldn’t matter too much - dropping it in a river while it’s running is another story however
  7. I may be able to assist in that department @_oilslick on Instagram, did ppsc & blizz shop logos also. Plus my profile photo on here is some of my work too Fizzing for this ride too, been sorting out my ride for it over the weekend, turned my shithouse scooter into a semi able adventure scoot
  8. Ricky stoakes? That's who nick said welded up my one, had to ask him haha any advantage with the 17" rear wheel? it didn't really smooth it out as such, I just used to feel a massive hole in the power right before you got the punch of getting into the 2t powerband and it feels better now I just ride it like a dirt bike and use the clutch to get it into the power band faster for maximum nangs now though lol.
  9. That bike is looking so damn sweet. Keen to see the finished product! Nice work.
  10. Cheers dudes! Still think it needs some aesthetic improvements, the 80's were a hell of a time for styling haha I bought the chamber/Exhaust off Nick Ritchie who posts on here, not sure who he got to make it but it's made off the specs of that dragonfly75 character on the net who sussed out the best specs for these engines, I think so anyway. The muffler actually made it sound so much better, deepened the exhaust note and for some reason (I may or may not be imagining this, I'm not sure) it seemed to even out the power band a bit more, I found it felt like it had a bit of a lapse in power right before the powerband came on but with the muffler it doesn't seem to be as bad
  11. I decided to tidy it up a bit and stop it from going rusty again so I blasted it with some high heat black, looks a lot better in my opinion
  12. since the expansion chamber setup was loud enough to wake the dead I decided to be a slightly more responsible road user and get the muffler all mounted up properly, I think the muffler is one from a TZR of some variety, here's what I started with, and got a friend to make a flange and weld it on.
  13. Hey dudes Bought a 1985 AX100 a couple of years ago, had live rego but the previous owner managed to overheat it and melt the piston so when I got it the thing wouldn't even kick over. After buying a new piston and barrel from Aliexpress I managed to get it going again and have been slowly chipping away at doing some mods on it, it's pretty mild at this stage. Mods so far; Pirelli City Demons Cut Down factory front mudguard Fork boots New Headlight mounts Small indicators DT125 (I think) Headlight Drilled the back of the headlight and installed small LED's for my warning lights, modified the factory loom for this and everything works perfectly Also Drilled a big hole in the weird knobby piece the headlight had in the back of it and re-located the ignition here (sort of impractical but it hides it well) New MMC speedo, Used the mount they supplied for it and modified the hole in it the speedo itself bolts into so i could rotate it in the mount and bolted the opposite end to the bottom of the mount for my handlebar clamps, this worked really well. MMC chrome drag bars and gum barrel grips Re-located the horn so it's now under my seat, also Re-routed the factory loom, they usually hang down underneath the bottom triple clamp, I made it so it is above this so its not hanging down looking all ugly, tidied up the front end quite a lot. Painted bar clamps and top triple clamp black and replaced the top pieces of the bar clamps and bolts with items off an LTZ 400 quad, they looked a little better than the stock items Expansion Chamber and muffler Cafe style seat Smaller tail light and number plate mount Rear guard is actually a front mudguard off a gn125, after some mods it fit and does the job There is also probably a heap of stuff I've missed, there's a few little things I've done that has made it look a bit better but not that noticeable at first glance.
  14. Yeah not sure what the wof man would think of this handlebar mount debauchery but it looks rad! Here's a shameless self plug of my AX with the same bar mount get up and drag bars
  15. Man I'd be so keen if I had that much money to burn on another bike!
  16. Any performance differences with no baffles? Also, how much did you have to go up on the jets in the carb with pod filters?
  17. How did you go about removing the baffles from the exhausts? Could be keen on a similar endeavour on my ax100 for maximum bee swarm noises. I see you ring ding past my work on rangitikei street fairly often, it's a rad machine in person! Even had a good gawk at it at polished rockers, epic work!
  18. I recently joined in on the AX movement, mine does that weird knocking on deceleration too, don't know what it is but mine doesn't fluctuate rpm when it happens. Runs fine so It's all good. also so many cheap parts on aliexpress. mine had a piston meltdown (got it and it was seized) bought a new barrel, piston, rings, gaskets and reed block for $177 to my door and it only took 5 days from china! Mines also having all of the electrical woes as yours. It's a tad annoying to say the least huh
  19. Mine was flooding real bad too, but I noobed out and put the air breather hose for the carb and the fuel hose around the wrong way loool
  20. There seems to be a theme with these FR's.. Lol
