awesome, thanks. unfortunately the gt500 has a separate high voltage igniter coil in the magneto for the cdi. my bike only had 12v for ignition so I think I'll have to make something else. I might use an arduino so I can retard the spark at high rpm.

Fuck that's a totally good score. Did they not see what prices vespas get on TM now? You can put your polini jug on my vbc motor. It has a polini exhaust I got off cam so it would be happy there. Besides, you need to get your Zundapp going.

Oh sweet I'll give that a hooon. Cheers guys

IC, the GTs had electronic ignition with wasted spark, I have 2 sets of points. I was thinking of trying to convert to an electronic setup cos I'm not a fan of points so that could be good.

$360 at Wigan, but Jack Daniels in Ptown said he'd do it for 250 so he might be the go. Will I need a BJ separator to get it off the knuckle, or can I just BFH the side of the knuckle like Jeeves says?

Enjoy guys, My leg i hurt a while back is all swollen from the heat today so I'm on the couch having a malt painkiller.

There are two, they look like this: Not much news on this, funds for pouring into bike are low. The frame and a bunch of other parts are sandblasted and primered though.

I know the Wigan St place, I'll give them a try.

Bit tricky, if you look at the top pic there's 3 layers. I don't think I could get it done properly without spending way too much time on it. Steve said he could do it for around $300. Depending on how much the ball joint and bushes cost and how cunty the bj is to replace it might just be worth fixing up.

cheers kk I'll check him out

My WOF guy I've been using for the last 10 years suddenly got stricter and decided the dent behind the rear wheel of my townace is now a fail. Between that and the rear sway bar bushes and the front left upper ball joint I'm tossing up whether to scrap this van. If someone reckons they can do it cheap (doesn't have to be pretty, just need to straighten the 'chassis') that would be awesome. Cash is king. I've attached a couple of pics but can bring it in also for a proper look. Shouldn't be too hard for someone with the right BFH. I live in Welly but go out to Ptown most days so between there would be ideal, but Hutt would be ok too. Cheers.

get the por15 kit, follow the instructions to a t.

Awesome, thanks for the write-up. Looks pretty straightforward to make, and much nicer than getting all that welding splatter in your hair.

sweet. more details on the rotisserie please.

would be keen for this but I fell off my ladder and fucked my leg. I always thought it was only fools that fell off ladders, never realised that was me. fully sober too.l

nice job. just curious - what's the advantage of this over an a-frame?

nice rapping bra

just take off the top triple, angle getting off the bar mounts, file, sand, paint, job done Edit: ^ should read angle grind. stupid swype.

Sweet ride. my mate used to have one, it had mad torque

Quick update with pics. Got myself a gearbox that isn't rooted, from Oregon city, Oregon. And, a pair of heads that have been welded up and a squish chamber machined in. I don't know why Suzuki stole Degner and didn't use his knowledge to make squish heads and boost ports in my T500.

If it's glass, steel wool normally works well.

love these things but can't shake the image of james may tootling around on his...

Nice bike, that front drum looks teeny. Is that a skateboard? I think drag bars would look good on it.

Pod filters are likely to decrease torque through most of the rev range, but if you're willing to accept this, they look cool. Velocity stacks look better if you like rebuilding your crank/topend. When the T500 won the IOM TT they used the standard airbox cos it worked better than everything else they tried. Rearsets, I think mounts etc were pretty standard on Suzis throughout the years so you might be able to modify a set. Definitely keep an oil tank, oil is injected directly into the main bearings. Maybe lawnmower fuel tank if you want to change it. I bought an old Coleman 4M stove yesterday for $10 which has an awesome tank, maybe look out for something like that.
