I had this exact missing bracket when I got a set of twin carbs for my EA71. The one you've created looks a lot nicer than mine.

I reckon the farm needs a hiab

What sorta height you need to achieve? And weight? The digger is currently functional, or a tractor, or I also have a 3phase endless chain (if you have something to hang it from and a power source). The old keltik would have leapt at a hairbrained and sketchy way achieve goal.

Another few of our routes Whakarau Rd, between TeKaraka & Motu Village Mata Road, same road we struck that unnotified slip & closure in 2021 (?) I think this might be SH2 between Giz/Matawai Things are pretty well fucked over there goddamn -

Yeah thats dope. I'd kinda floated the idea of having something more localish round home also, could spend a day doing more difficult farm based route, or prodding at broken things, or a daytrip round here somewhere. Just not sure when, or if manyone would be interested. -
Yeah, A+. Can you source those pipe/hose holder clamp thingos?

Attached box and fuel to 185, and +1 tooth front sprocket. IMG_20230219_175702 by John Bell, on Flickr IMG_20230223_215251 by John Bell, on Flickr It is now ultimate world tour bike. Kinda. Rode to nats (nearly mostly) and all the way pretty much without flaw. Seems no worse off for having its neck wrung for a bit over 1600km. Didn't take many photos IMG_20230227_192533 by John Bell, on Flickr Is quite functional with gross storage box, should try use it more often. Returned about 4L/100km, not great, I'd expect much better if not at 100% throttle.

Got an owners manual for trike, which was nice to pop in a ziplock bag and stuff it in its home in the rear compartment IMG_20230216_175740 by John Bell, on Flickr IMG_20230216_175822 by John Bell, on Flickr

So its looking pretty likely that I'll be unavailable in the Novemberish region of the year. Also I don't have another route in mind. Feel free to brainstorm some zany circular route ideas for 2024. And/or go ride with Greg in Rotorua or those south island fullas. -
Was great to meet you at nats, I'm not sure how I've missed both your Escort project threads before now, awesome work!

A long way out, and I don't want to clog up the thread this early with theoretical maybes. But how many North Island bikes would head down if there was a bulk freight option from somewhere in the NI to a spot close to the start point? The guys that got bikes moved down on a few pallets, how did this go? And how much? I'm gonna try do a few sums, my hunch is that it probably wouldn't make sense unless there were a lot of bikes.
