    Clubmans on, tin sign removed. Looks a lot better IMO. Still gotta sort carbs, time the engine with the Boyer electronic ignition, then vibrate a go go

    BJ - British or Japanese? Can't wait to have the Kwakattack complete, few local rides to get used to it then off to Christchurch to hang with my homies.

    Thats why I said "when" Crusty. Got my braided brake lines LTA spec from UK fitted up too. Finish list; Parts: Front disc brake bolts x 4 New air filters (some of the old ones rubbers have separated from filter) Rear shocks? Shorter clutch cable / throttle cables smaller battery To get running: Wiring - new speedo (removal of super huge cluster), moving of ignition, LED indicators/tail light, check suitability of wiring for H4 headlight Frame: Make cut outs for coils (different for B frame to C frame) Weld on rear disc brake bracket (different for B frame to C frame) Weld on mounting tags for rear indicators Weld mount for ignition Make mount for speedo Weld up holes in modified triple tree (anyone here weld alloy?) Blast rear fender and paint Modify /source alternative front fender WOF That is what is left to do, a MUCH smaller list now!

    Fork it! Front forks shortened and fully rebuilt. This bike will essentially be new when I am finished.

    Has been sitting a while and in a builders garage. In other words, the oily areas has a light sprinking of collected saw dust. I emptied the old fuel and was happy to see that the tank has been sealed I was unhappy (but happy for avoiding a possible fatality) to see that the slides in the Amal monoblock carbs are scored and rooted. When I say a possible fatality, in the condition they were found in they were likely to jam with the throttle open, potentially lethal. I don't know what rubbish metal Amal used to use on their slides but apparently this is a common problem. I am sure the frame has been re-powder coated because it is in fantastic condition.

    I emptied my garage of one toy - only to refill it pretty quick with this; Maybe its because I am 1/2 English but I have always wanted a BSA A65. Tin 1965 Lightning sign painted by a kid was the first thing to be removed. More to follow

    Made progress; seat being upholstered at Marshall Upholstery, new sprockets from Ze Germans, new gold chain from US, new steel brake lines coming from UK, I have put zorst back on, calipers fully rebuilt with new seals/pads and put back on (so I could measure up brake lines) All it will need is some wiring of the new speedo and electrics then test fire-up before strip down for frame to be slightly modded/powdered. Then I got a new toy, check my BSA.
  8. Nice project! Be cautious with those Silvia struts, I would have a chat with a certifier before getting carried away. I have heard of a Z owner having to remove a similar setup for cert, something to do with struts themselves, possibly the geometry was all wrong
  9. Yeah the 110 is going nowhere until I have that bike going on road.
  10. The sad day I spent with Crustywhip getting rid of the 1200 (which was replaced by the C110) My mint crack free original dash sourced from Melbourne:
  11. Thanks for fixing KY, not that odd in combo, only the 240kgt badge that is export spec. I only have it on there because it's NOS and fills the holes
  12. Used to have a topic on here, Maybe now that it is over 40 (cheap rego) I should finish it....
  13. you could get some mikunis from a bike like my Kwaka kz650?
  14. Damn son, all running then? I wanna hear it scream!
  15. Do like, well have like - for years I have more done on my K but I bet you will beat me to the road!
  16. Holeeeee kamikaze! I see what you mean. I can't wait to see the rest and see a video / hear how other notable improvements go
  17. Nice! Guess you wont need a CB50 then?

    MOAR! Still got heaps to do, small steps though. Will look better when I fit my gaiters. Where I initially thought my front fender would fit, turns out it rubs so will have to come up with a cunning plan for that Guess that's the price you pay for fat tyres that are fat. Not looking forward to the handling however, without air in them the tread/sidewall merge looks almost square!
