I'm to impatient would be great to give my girl a good tidy up but
She loves to be ridden

nice roads down your way

nice roads down your way

not wrong it's a great ride down hear wouldn't mind head north
Or hills haven't been out for awhile I miss it

how often do you guys go out ?

I use mine for quick trips around town when I don't have to deliver any gear, I'm a builder.
I can't get enough, it's such an awesome thing to ride.
New tyres soon then I'll be able to push it a little further.
I bought a Factory Pro jet kit & expect it today according to the tracking. It ended up a bit expensive after I paid for local postage of $12 & then another $38 for international. The Americans seem to gouge on postage or is there some sort of gov't tax that makes postage huge. I am trying to buy some Arai helmet visor screws & there some in america for $2 but postage is $48. not good for sales, why even bother advertising.
Anyway, she has a little hesitation at low revs from take off say from a stop & a couple of times I thought I wasn't going to get her back up but a handfull of throttle saved it. I have a K&N inlet filter & a full Hindle exhaust system so she's pretty free flowing hence the starve, be interesting to see the difference. Ive done a thousand k's now since the re birth so I have a feel for her.
I did a 2 hr ride on the weekend up into the valley & it was magic, just like when I was 25. If its a mid life crisis I've been having it since then & I hope it hangs around till I'm dead.
I posted an issue that you guys might be able to help with. The rubber oil tube off the sump leaks at the top & I can't get it to stop, seem like the clamp isn't up far enough but there's a bolt head that stops it, still thought where it is that it would seal but I m struggling. I bought another type of HD clamp & will have a good go at it this weekend. Do your leak or are they dry ?
It's getting all over everything as well as the rear brake which gets a bit soft till it drys out.

I have a mate in the UK wih a bike shop who may be able to help with the screws if you give me the model number Mitchell!

Doubt it'll cost anything like that to mail here!

Nice, would love to have one of these my self ... I could see one in my garage parked up beside
my 97 ZX7r.

Cheers mate you're right great bike love it the zx7r looks good mate

Jim, its an old, apparently 'Vintage' Arai Giga. Its been stored for a while & still like new, I just cant bring myself to buy a new onw for $1200 when it's just as good. One of the 4 little flat headed clear screws has broken off & the visor moves around a bit when open. It'd be great if you have a contact.
I rode it again last night in the dark, which is exciting when you get to my age, the lights are great & the high beam is unbeleivable, maybe I've been away for too long but theyre better than some of the trucks I have now. I do notice they are hot to touch, are they all like that ?
I'll get back onto the painting soon, just lost the motivation, probably the cold winter. Got the lower body & the front upper to paint to finish her off.
I've been reading the tyre post & bloody hell more unsure than ever, what do you guys run ? & what tyre pressures for the road.
