Yip, my c50 has both rear wheel bearings held in using the punch and loctite bearing retainer method, also have an engine that’s holding its main bearings the same way, hasn’t failed yet 

[tortron]

it lets them spin twice as fast man

 

 

 

ute wheel bearing is held in that way. Commer king pins were fixed that way too

Maybe I should mount the front guard at stock height....

Ammo tins are for pansies, mortar tins are where its at. It does need a c notch to clear the exhaust. Or I'll be a pansy and use a ammo tin

Relay wired into ign switch and wires with plug run to ammo case so I can remove it easily.

 

Everything fits perfect with bit of room for tools/phone/speaker for roadside tunes.

Ok, entries close tonight I reckon. Hopefully everyone is in that intended to.

I took a nosey over the Motu road this morning (day 1 morning), it's quite manageable. Quite a few spots of small debris etc, and some short sections where the road surface is carved into a rock face and a bit uneven. One slip that is easily navigated (should be fine for most standard height cars). Pretty much your standard middle of nowhere gravel road for the Motu section.

As long as everyone rides to their ability and keeps left where possible it'll be fine. I encountered one vehicle on the lower section and a gang of mountain bikers.

I would be fizzing if I wasn't so rinsed. 

I'll test pack all my shit on Tuesday night. Then fly out Wednesday night after dinner.

Who is kicking around Tauranga mid morning for the day ? We will arrive about 9am and probably have a nap before unloading the bikes and exploring the area before kicking back in Papamoa for the evening
