  1. The true fun is in dusting and cleaning it
  2. can you add a GT wing to the rear rack and tell everyone its a ferrari?
  3. archie and jughead take their jaloppy for a spin
  4. does the bike have a name? can you call it "death from above"
  5. excellent, i assumed it was a bracket for a chain tensioner, and that you had built some kind of altitude acclimation aide
  6. how does one mount it?
  7. Do you still have the old components?
  8. The bearings used in bearings now are much nicer tolerances so you probably won't need to use bigger. Polishing the Gubbins will go some way to avoid stress cracks and the insides becoming outsides 3 times the power is a fair wack tho, so if its a poor design you will have to lay off, or upgrade
  9. New jap bearings will out perform the standard of the day Polish everything else and use good oil. The only real other thing you can do is replace the gears, but that's poundsigns
  10. is that rear screen pretty flat? get a bus windscreen or something and cut it down
  11. Ring the guy up, he has more than whats on the site measure what you can/trace it onto some card
  12. basis.co.nz
  13. lovely spot plant some trees so they will look nice when you move in
  14. im an old barry, and probably have one if you get caught out
  15. 100% whitworth Do you have access to whitworth dies?
  16. if youwant a bicycle you can borrow mine
  17. i assume you want one with a motor
  18. pro tip bung in all the spokes ( so you can look down the valve hole and see the hub logo cos its nicer), then do up all the nipples to cover the thread on each spoke. go around and tighten them half a turn at a time (if you need to offset the wheel do it now) round and true wheels everytime
  19. ran this down the road to the new house. All of the smoke came out, so I should probably change the oil, its full of moreys that leaked past the cylinders and probably water from sitting. Got a wheel going for my granddad and locked the brakes up after a speed run. So replace fuel bowl gasket cos its pissing out torque head bolts, looked like a bit of weeping more brake work. They lock and stop but the pedal feels horrible and the new house is at the bottom of a hill pretty sure I saw a crack in the exhaust, so il do something with that I guess change the drive dog on the new distributor 180 so the leads reach and I can tune it properly new fluids get a suspect east coast wof cruise the heads

    D's GS550

    colourtune was better with leaded fuel, with unleaded its really only good for a rough base tune
  21. interesting though most old cars dont have a propper tag, susually just some numbers stamped on the firewall or on a bit of alluminium like that. , though i dont think it will be a problem
  22. it has a huge japanese computer on the dash that talks for about 5 mins everytime you start it
  23. nah i was in a honda fit to your right, I noticed the bikes and figured it was something oldschool related
