  1. I rode one of these across the usa what a pig haha. Have yoy tried it on nz roads yet? The most i could get out of it was 100mph before the panniers tried to fly away and the windvisor started to flex was neat hitting fireflys at night and having glowing guts all over me tho i recall mine had a dodgy headlight and fuel gauge, so maybe electrics are poo on trse edit: hell its for sale and in hamilton. You tempt me too much. Missus wont let me have cruisers tho she only.likes sports bikes haha Tho i wouldnt mind strapping a blower to this and being a nucience around hillcrest again.
  2. Vertebra strapped together with sinue and ligaments
  3. Do they actually have a seal. You keep saying scroll seal which is usually a machined surface on the rear of the crank to tgrow oil back in. The morris minor conversion kits to put a real seal in are crap - theyvrequire alot more kqchining than mentiojed to actually do a propper job
  4. Yahoo auctions here i come
  5. Only.ever see minors on minilites because 4x4" Something different is a breath of fresh air. Dont want mesh tho, so it may be a long search will depwnd on if i can get some cheaper than widening my steels
  6. After swwing that photo of a green series mm on japanese plates and wheels in the brit cars thread i have been wondering about getting some mags instead of wide steels the set of 4 spoke almex rims polished with black centres on trademe caught my eye. Spendy tho, but i started searching for pics of minors on 13" wheels This one is on chevy vega wheels which are similar. Looks silly. Such a shame, will uave to be 14 or possibly 15" if i do edit: though the 13" steels i had on for a while didnt look as bad as the one above. I think i had huge tyres on there tho and the amount of sway around the corners was comical
  7. Is her name kim? Cos her legs are totally a-kim-boe it was better in my head tbh
  8. Just get some wheel chocks and strap it to the roof standing up. Mind the drive through tho actually i remeber a blog by a guy who cycled around the world on one, with a plinth helmet. Came to nz and the first thing we did was knock him off as he rode out of auckland he went to a ordinary race in tasmania. His host took him and both their bicycles to the track in an mg roadster
  9. Prolly best to space frame it right sure would look cool hidden under dusty blankets in my shed
  10. Is the hoist used to raise people up.to.the zipline? Saw a place in the jungle just recently. But didnt stop because it offered over 5 km of ziplining and i cant process that right now
  11. Will you be making.the rims as 4 piece for transport?
  12. That said. Can you confirm.what the electical issues are?
  13. Hey mate. Probably the coils in the mag-totally-neato have gotten fuel on them/are just old and have lost their insualtion coatings. This will give you over charging. Can rewind these by hand if you are totally.keen. Have to find a supplier of the correct wire then put exactly.the same number of turns on each one. Be a good idea to inspect and check them out with a multimeter
  14. I would love this to use as aa spy car. Fit brit engine for oil slicks, or mitsi for smoke screen. Same old story no cash. No room. No time. Different country etc
  15. If you get stuck you can do all that work with a cheap 2nd hand vice (some wood to bolt it to) a sooft face mallet. Rubber is fine. And a few punches and a selection of sockets - use the punches to knock the old ones out and the sockets to knock the new ones in did all the bearings and bushes in my car without any more than that, some just in a carpark
  16. I was getting concerned aboutthe way this build was going. But then i saw you do infact have a fluffy cat carry on sir
  17. Agree. Measure to see if its below the rings and dont worry about it
  18. Its like.the groundhog of threads sorry guys. Gona be a long winter this year
  19. Cut and shut a cheap muffler. Add stainless cap screws for easy opening and stuff it with motorcycle muffler pqcking/steelos/mc chickens
  20. Can confirm battery is the rwgulator
  21. And an actual question on fitting a front sway bar most of.the kits i see for.the minor attach to.the tie bar mounts by using a longer stud they are then attqched to the chassis by welding or drilling another set of mounts to. I take it this is not alowed from.the wording no cutting, heating, or welding is to the suspension components or vechicle structure is to be undertaken when fitting the bar. If so i think i could make up a bracket that could bolt to.the underside of the engine mount towers and "sleeve" the chassis rail
  22. Has anyone ever been caught out with the no more than 20% power increase rule? Just curious, would it then be up to the owner to prive it, or will john key pay for a dyno.day hhaaha i would only need a 6hp increase to break it. Which is a bit sad. Unless i put an ohc head conversion on which doubles the power - but i think thatvwould need a cert
