    This description is amazing. It’s like wine tasting notes for 4AGEs.

    They’ll be able to buy them through Saint Gibson Abrasives (Norton brand) and they shouldn’t be tooo silly on price.

    PPS industries bring in the best ones (Pferd) and they sell direct. You could also try Tradezone or Twiggs in Welly. I personally rate rolled cones way above the cylindrical versions. They last way longer as there’s loads of layers to get through and they’re smaller diameter, so won’t fly apart as easily. https://www.pferd.com/int-en/products/fine-grinding-and-polishing-tools/poliroll-polico/poliroll-cartridge-rolls-pr-and-prk-polico-abrasive-cones-pco/aluminium-oxide-a-type/

    The uprated clutch springs have been fitted to the primary clutch. It's made a huge improvement to acceleration and often tries to spin the rear wheel on gravel as you push off. A also tried to fit uprated springs to the 2nd gear clutch, but it's far too difficult... I fitted one, but couldn't get the other on. It definitely raised the shift point, but you could also hear the 2nd gear clutch slipping as you rode down the road. Apparently another trick is to lighten the clutch shoes to get a later engagement point. I'm going to give it a go, but am weary about ruining the current clutch shoes as I've already used the ones from my parts bike. I threw the small wheels on to see how the acceleration changes. It's faster to 60ishkph, but doesn't have much more after that. I love the high speed doorts, so it's going to stay with large wheels . Small wheel pesting:

    I’m busy that weekend too I think...
  6. Truenotch
    What date are you thinking?
  7. Truenotch
    Perfect. Neither do mine, @mark105's, @flyingbrick's or @Zeubin's or @64valiant's .

    Hondata. It works fine, but a link would be better so he could add an extra map for water/meth injection.

    I feel you man! My hoard keeps magically expanding... I picked up a SJ50QT (like Smoky Sue) and that FS50/Lets contraption from Ned... There's 3 bikes in the shed already and those two are under the house... Plus two more FS50's, a partial drome bike and a bunch of puch scooters in the lockup. Summer 2019 is about getting projects out the door and sold (maybe). Who did your seat on the CB?
  10. Truenotch
    Yeah, I'm thinking either a small steel moto guard or a minimal wheel fender. The headlight and speedo also need to be moved down a fair distance... It's hard to make a pressed backbone body look tough IMO. Regular frames are easy to make angry.

    I still haven't cleaned this thing since the East Cape mission... Maybe that will happen this weekend? I got a special delivery from @Raizer today: a set of bars from a Vmoto Milan. They're about the height that I want and are quite narrow, which suits the FS1 reasonably well. I threw them on and took off the guards to see if I liked the look: I like the bars, but am definitely not sold on the no guards look... Especially in the rear. It would need to be a shitload lower and have a low seat to look right IMO. Put the rear guard back on and took a few other pics: And a couple of sneaky shots with the next 2 wheeled project...
  12. Truenotch
    Correct, but there are ways around it. @kdotlowe can probably fill us in on how he did it. Check out this thread too:

    Went for a good pest this afternoon and explored a bunch of bushy crevices that I'd never been to before: It still needs uprated clutch springs... Hopefully I'll get that done over the Xmas break.
  14. Truenotch
    It would be great if you manage to re-reg it with the OG black plate too!

    Weldsafe Titanium. 4 sensors, tig capable, 98x87 viewing area, replaceable batteries, all the adjustments, good headgear, cheap replacement lens covers. Moortool have them on special for $139. Most others will be $200 or so. https://www.trademe.co.nz/business-farming-industry/industrial/manufacturing-metalwork/helmets-safety-gear/auction-1870266604.htm

    ... nice scooter...

    I don't think it's about unequal runners at all? The runners are all equally short and the injectors are near the runner's inlet. I think the issue (in theory) is the log plenum causing a pressure difference between the runners and potentially having the front cylinders stealing fuel from the rear ones.

    If it's got a more aggressive ignition curve then it should go better all round. If the jetting isn't up to it you'll seize the engine or put a hole in the piston... But it should go really well until that point. Is the new CDI unit adjustable? You might be able to dial a bit more / less timing into the mid range to get more torque.

    Yay, boxes of ringadings! Go easy on that squish band now, Brian.

    What are the wheel sizes on this badboy?
  21. Truenotch
    Damn, that is one heated Q&A section...
  22. Truenotch
    146kw is still super impressive! Love that doort resonance at 4500-5k RPM too. Where is that dyno? Would be a handy thing to ahve in a garage .
  23. Truenotch
    That would be @Archetype.
  24. Truenotch
    Luckily there was no need for the raft! Man that was a rad weekend of riding .

    Gross. Those are well overpriced. $499 gets you a 150a gas/gasless Bossweld. They’re an inverter machine and come with a gas regulator. Good welder for the money: https://www.bunnings.co.nz/bossweld-150-amp-m150-gas-gasless-mig-inverter-welder_p08911795
