Dialed in my gear list a bit

5kg flat with food

 

 

That's not bad, my panniers are probably way over that, but also includes 1L of spare oil and a 750ml drink bottle. Never done the ride so I'm probably taking too much lol. 

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?

@WankBankA100 are you riding your cb100 this year?

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 

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 

This tyre will be all good for the ride right? 

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.

Local options for carrying 3L of petrol? A quick goog of the major players only has 5L jerry can options which is too big for small bike 

Ideally a vessel I can ados some yoga matt to the base of and strap to the back mudguard 

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.

I'm sure it's possible if @Chunky_t can spit out a sweet digital image. A hundy 50mm stickers will be pretty reasonably priced. 

How does a taniwha on a dax sound 

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

Anyone got creative skills?

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

Yeah nick Ritchie got the pipe made by the same guy as me, interesting about the muffler and power band smoothing, might have to give it a go, 

Mines geared down aswell as a 17" wheel conversion, so when your cruising along you can crack it into the power band and it really jumps forward. Not a bad thing persay but I'm interested to see how it would ride with that smoothed out a little 

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.

That bike is looking so damn sweet. Keen to see the finished product! Nice work.

Yeah really nice lines on tank/seat combo. 

So many get this wrong...

[Edit] nice front guard chop too...

Cheers dudes! Still think it needs some aesthetic improvements, the 80's were a hell of a time for styling haha

what does your pipe sound like with the muffler? i have the same bike/pipe (pretty sure built by the same dude even) and run it unsilenced, while i dont mind the volume and the wide bearth people give me now. im curious to know what it sounds like with a muffler

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

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 

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. 

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

Also, does anyone know the rules regarding dash lights such as indicator, high beam, nuetral and oil lights for a wof? Can I have none of these and still pass? I know some roadworthy trail bikes don't have them and get a wof.

Any insight on this would be rad

Might have to take it to a professional, only thing left before it can go and attempt to get a wof and I pretty much don't have the knowledge required to try and sort this stuff.

And they'll do a better job than me with it haha

Man I'd be so keen if I had that much money to burn on another bike!

Yeah I had the problem of exploding bulbs but sorted all that out, the battery works in conjunction with the resistor thing under the tank on the left hand side if you're looking at it from the riding position. The lights literally worked one day, fiddled around with the headlight bucket,didn't work the next.

Wiring is the bane of every motorcycle modifying enthusiast I swear haha.
