anyone know what the deal with this is ? i hear lots of different things i want to make a a frame to tow my race car to local events rather than hire a trailer for it as its currently no wof or reg the obvious hooking up of the rear lights like a trailer i have thaught of

usually means a blown tail light from memory

i recon make it cafe racer style keep it red polish up the chrome clip ons maybe some mags but spokes are cool a oldschool seat

just remember the new cage regs have come out for any new homologations after this year it has to be

From what I can read, the Main Rollbar must now be 44.5 x 2.5 mm.

All other members must be 38.1 x 2.5 mm.

I recall some facts about bike crashes

no gear? expect to spend 4-6 times longer in hospital/rehabilitation than if you were wearing it.

Make a few more items of kit compulsory. Good gloves at least (fall off at low speed, put hands down to break fall, have a cry about gravel under your skin)

after riding a scooter with just a helmet and gloves with normal clothes then getting a bike and proper riding gear i think id be scared to go back after having armour in my jacket and pants

rg150es be keen to go on a few rides with people going on weekend rides alone is getting old

all my close calls have happened at legal speeds infact on my bike i havent taken it more than 5k over the limit i ride almost every day of the week to work and back and in the weekends for a cruse have had people cut infront of me in a 2 lane roundabout see me and still pull out infront of me i have 2 rather bright headlights how can you not see me i never split lanes in traffic ether

cost me 60$ for my 15s to get sent to me from invercargill in 2 boxes of 2 wheels each via post haste

i heard that you can get a new pulley for the motor that has a cas in it so no dizzy needed obviously an aftermarket ecu is needed

Dude try reging a big bike, lets just say my CBR is highly likely to never have rego again.

The things thats really balls is most of the bike accidents are caused by cars hitting us, and yet we have to pay for it, thanks ltsa you guys rock

How you found out about oldschool:saw a few tech threads when i had my escorts

Anything else you want to add:

working in the building industry myself i would also agree with gaz doing bulding maintenance and i love doing the problem solving stuff often i think why didnt they do this in the first place often its the same price but a better solution

there just mag nuts you should be able to get them i had to use some as a set of wheels i had used them insted of the normal tapered wheel nuts also known as shank nuts

i know my mates mr2 had a boss in the sump for the oil cooler return i think it was

having carb issues with mine but think i just need to be paitent as i havent taken it for a good run yet rebuilt the carb tonight again and cleaned every bit of dirt from the float bowl looks a bit hori at the mo with mis matched top fairing to the rest but shes ready for a wof now as i replaced cluch cable and got the old broken adjuster needs a new chain though

i have a 98 rg150 the 560$$ special that is slowly being put back on the road rego was on hold guy had it and went overseas came back and sold it to me just tidying up things new mirrors fairings cleaned up all the surface rust on the frame with a wire brush and some zinc paint that actually maches the frame colour perfectly toying with the idea of painting all the fairings and tank black as i think it would look sweet silver and black i braught it to retire the race car from daily dutys
