    Johnny is a farmer, turn up just before dawn for some open pipe test and tune around his yard! /You may end up parked under Kato Perry though.

    This is the parking situation with the YHA Front/main road And side/rear/parking

    Might try clean up my pad and BBQ lol

    What's the YHA's position on BBQs etc? Not sure where there parking is, but if it's not around the back then a chain and lock for the bikes may not be a bad idea.

    No love for the blue wheels?? Hacked up a Suzuki fuel sender I had kicking about Fitted all new fuel and oil hoses Added the clips before filling the oil Relocated the indicator unit from the bars to down by the engine (stock location on the early 2 models) Cut used the new slim Kitaco outer throttle cable and a stock Honda inner to set the throttle cable to the perfect length This throttle goes from closed to WOT in less than 1/4 turn! And took a rough cardboard template and a box of Whakachangis down and turned them into this Gave it a lock of paint and baked it in the BBQ to dry it, used some big vacuum line to make some vibration isolators Also there may have been a shed skid and I may only be posting this now as we had to come inside to air the shed out a bit haha!

    Late night in the shed doing some wiring, started with this: Managed to make this happen out of that mess Need to try and make another sender fit the tank, Honda use 510Ω fuel senders while most other scooters (and this gauge) use 100Ω senders. Unless I can use a resistor or something to change the ohms? Bunch of bonus length Much better! Getting damn close!

    Got it legal today Found a kill switch that looked about right to use as a starter button Got almost all the wiring done and mounted the huge aftermarket CDI Still need the make a mount for the dash and wire it in, but I've clearly got most of it right so far lol

    Busy day today, nearly completely stripped the new Gyro Hit it and my very grimy Canopy engine with a LOT of degreaser Added a steering stop for the Dio forks Yeah the weld is rough as fuck, got a bit tight with 2 pairs of vice grips holding it in place and the breeze blowing the argon didn't help much either! Went to work for a few hours, then fitted the swingarm then engine Got distracted and rebuilt the front shocks Routed the cables, did most of the engine end wiring, chucked a random Suzuki wheel at the front and it is almost ready to go!! Little bit of wiring, mounts needs to be made for the dash and speed sensor and a few other jobs to go. Should be able to squeeze a kill button in there to use as a starter! Realized the new ignition I got from Honda in Japan is for a new DC ignition model, so while it would work fine to turn on my ignition it wouldn't kill the engine when turned off haha, wiring from an old ignition swapped on

    Good idea with the led indicators, as long as you're running them on a DC circuit.

    Nice looking switchgear! I'm dealing with tiny gauge wires on switches too, I think I'm just going to add relays to everything as I really don't want to run headlights etc through them.

    The epic GC @64vauxhall seemed offended seeing the grotty grey seat anywhere near his shop, was amazing watching the master at work! My build is now going to be done using this new frame, there's enough benefit from using the later spec frame to justify moving all the new bits from the early one! Went to tidy up the shed this evening and got distracted by swingarms, the Gyro X use a cradle to hold the bottom of the engine where as the Gyro Canopys use a pair of plates to hold the engine on, I prefer the Canopy style for a few reasons. The new X came with a semi polished swingarm and I had a nasty looking Canopy one kicking about from the haul of Canopy parts @MopedNZ picked up ages ago. Notice the mounts? Split open the Canopy one first, the black rubbers there act as springs and are what allow the front to pivot when cornering etc. The X one was like new inside so I swapped all it's parts onto the Canopy shaft after giving it a lick of paint Ready to hang under the new frame And got the engine ready to pull out of the original Gyro, just the brake cables and 2 bolts to go Sheds no cleaner at all, but at least there's progress haha

    Collect allllllllll the Gyros!!

    Where in Hawkes bay is the box? And BNT for sure, hopefully someone from here may be able to swing you a trade discount on a kit.

    Yeah man, can't wait to catch up with the East Cape ride next month! Needs some love, drain the rusty water/petrol mix, find why there's no electrics with my new battery fitted etc etc but nothing I can't handle. Also started first kick on engine start!

    After a 21 hour round trip to Tauranga and back via Hamilton, Raglan, Hamilton, Taupo, Napier etc I've got the 2nd Gyro home. It's still an early model with 3 stud rear rims and narrow track, but the 10" front wheel suggests it's a bit later model than my 83. Few cracks in the fibreglass to patch up, screen hopefully will come up ok with a decent plastic polish. Will pull it out of the van later in the morning and see if I can get it running.

    From what I can tell from the pics, the new one is the same early model (82-84) Gyro X as my original, but it's had pretty much all of the factory body panels replaced with that aftermarket Canopy kit. Courier just dropped this off Now I can start making some progress again!

    A decent battery should help your lights at low rpm. /I don't see one among your underseat wiring, ignore me if you've got one.

    Ummmm..... And then there was 2... Popped up on FB and within minutes I had at least 6 people tagging me about it, @MopedNZ gave my arm a twist along with offering to pick it up and store it for me until I can get up to Tauranga and pick it up, epic thanks yet again bro! I will not get carried away with this one, I will not get carried away with this one, I will not get carried away with this one, maybe paint, I will not get carried away with this one, wide wheels, I will not get carried away with this one, late engine, I will....
