Willdat?

I'm not sure if Lloyd from toyspeed is on oldschool but he is a top bloke - unfortunately I have no contact details. Except he worked at http://www.citymech.co.nz/ when I used to live in Dunedin. Fuck that's a lingling post - sorry!

IT'S ALIVE! Stoked that I actually diagnosed this correctly (for once). I see what you did there... Take her shopping...? "Those shoes really bring out your eyes..." or something.

Mrs wanted new shoes meant I could get stator sooner...arrived today, there's something about boxed NOS. I'm hoping I'll get it fitted tonight...

280se by chance? If so looked like a sharp price

I've got a spare pair with disc/forks/calliper even I think... X7s are awesome, the first 250 to do a genuine 100mph I believe

10 weeks later I managed half an hour in the shed. Stator is shot -> NOS from uk is ~$300 so I'll save some pocket money and get it here. May even manage to ride it to Hanmer

I'd own one, this looks like a very tidy base, well played!

Ha, I had a student point that out to me last week, another boy in the same class is restoring a Commer truck. Semi-rural schools fo-life!

First post in a week... To keep the Han-pine maintained. I'm just bottling a porter that should be about perfect come the end of August.

My dad owned a 1977 one of these from 79- 84. By 1984 the replacement guards he'd installed in 1980 had rusted completely through again! If it has survived this long it must be a good 'un

Registered and paid for me + 1. Unfortunately can't get time off so will be heading down after work (but being teachers that means we should still be in Hanmer well before 6)

Fri/Sat better for me...but I am a lowly passenger!

I'd make whenever suit but 31st/1st is grand, will get a ride with/meet Sam then! New car time for me is looking like 2014...

Oh the issue is that I'm 6ft 2". A lower seat will decrease legroom even further than I already have by fitting clip ons. The comical aspect is my knees being higher than my elbows!

Dent is clip ons related, once I've got steering stops sorted I may fix tank...but I should get it going first!

The downside of being a teacher is being keen on 'the rules'!

So if I got rid of my pillion seat it'd be a winner For future reference http://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof/motorcycles

Is it a wof issue? I think my DR-Z400 needed pillion pegs as it had a pillion seat or I could be making that up....

Ah yes, a brat seat makes the ergonomics of an already small bike a little bit too comical/uncomfortable for me...

No testing done yet, just trying one thing at a time until I get it sorted. I was dopey enough to pay a bike shop to sort a 1987 Suzuki DR250S a few years ago, I pulled the pin at $5500 invested with it still not running... I'm going to delve into the workshop manual tonight and have a read up...quite stoked that I have 4 spare stators so hopefully there's a good one amongst them. X7s are choice and actually pretty damn quick! I'm not too sure what to do with the tail section as I want to keep my pillion seat...feel free to post inspiration!

As it looks as of yesterday!

New CDI = still no spark. I should know better than to expect Suzuki electrical gremlins to go away on the second attempt at a fix...

My little brother's wagon was parked in the same spot presumably only a few minutes earlier... (Not from the hard park, but a photo so you can get an idea of how much you improved the spot!)

I went to the Nelson event, pretty impressive turn out considering the Nelson car show had less cars just last weekend. Highlights for me were a stock looking Ford RS Cosworth and a Campagna Trex...
