mutiny

Used the ol farm truck as my wedding car a couple weeks back. It will probabaly never look as tidy as that day again haha

Well the people have spoken. I think it looks good. Eagle eye viewers may have noticed i also finished off the wee under skirts on the wellside . Not overly happy with one side and will re address it at some point but have a looming deadline so it will do for biw

Yeah was going to do the front guard after deciding if I liked em or not. For some reason they look way worse in person . The line is level from the tray right up to the rear of the front guard then it will have to drop down towards the front which may look a bit weird too

Help me decide. Pin stripe or no pin stripe ?

You can see yourself out

Wowwee thread dredge from page 8. I do still own thus. Failed its last wof on brakes. I had previously put in a new master but it never seemed to pull up properly so got the factory one refurbished. Threw some new shoes and cylinders at the front wheels too and damn the brakes feel way better. Still driving it a bunch. Almost every weekend. Unsure what ill do with it next year. Maybe move it on. Maybe put something with a bit more power in it. Unsure

Its hard to say. Certainly seemed to have lost a wee bit especially down low. Hard to tell if it's my imagination with these beeing quite a bit quieter. It also needs to be tuned for this exhaust too

Broke the 2 into 1. Will fix it some time but at the moment I'm quite enjoying the look of the twin pipes. Been riding it a bunch. The old girls sitting about 108thousand ks and still going strong. Taking it up to the north island in a couple months so brought some hard bags for it.

Thanks man. Been a lot of late nights . Well worth it in the end. I brought a real nice chrome dash for it but unfortunately it doesn't fit. My speedo is too big for it so I would have to move the speedo to the bars and find a fuel gauge to go in the dash. Not sure what I will do yet I will try get some better photos next time i take it for a scenic rip

Chuffed

Things have been escalating. There was a bit of rust around the frame that was starting to bug me so decided to strip it right back and paint the frame. While it was apart i painted the tins too. Because who wants free time?

Proof of riding. Did about 750 ks in the last 48 hours. Bike was flawless..... well so I thought. Thought I heard a but of a rattle. Turns out the muffler decided to Crack in half. Have ordered another so will weld that on when it turns up

Nah still have it . Havnt been riding it a huge amount but going to ride quite a bit over the Christmas break

Pictureless update for a fun less update. have just installed new shoes and wheel cylinders in the rear brakes, the only thing worse than drum brakes is drum brakes with 2 cylinders per wheel. damn theyre a dog to adjust right. front is still drum brake so im on the hunt for a front disc conversion . i believe 81 to 85 b1600 and b2000 brakes bolt straight on. i have done the conversion on a previous b1600 i owned but that was well over a decade ago. if anyone knows of any for sale please get at me, i really dont want to have to rebuild the front drums. On a brighter note i have been driving this around a fair amount with trouble free motoring. has become my weekend driver. i really need to get around to aligning the tray a bit better, body lines dont line up with the cab real good
