well after attempting to kill my trackbike back in April..... then skipping the country for six months.... the time has come to rebuild it...... with pretty much all the spanner work being done by a mate of mine.... (and bonesters!)

here are some pix so far....

Go you good thing !!!

Yeah, yeah..... Bloody kwaka bits take ages to get here I have to wait for the thermostat housing to arrive from Japan...... But i just found a second hand one from a wrecker in nowra! So yeah, it should be going again soon.......

Get into it mate !! will be great to see the 6 back up and firing in NE2

Got the shims today... so the cams are back in..... carbies on.....so it is getting there..... I will sort it out over the next couple of weeks and it will be ready for the new year

I can't wait to get it done......

There is one little problem to be fixed though.. and that is the rear rim has a bit of a buckle.... so will have to see about getting it straightened! it is not too bad, and I can just run with the spare rims which are straight as anyway!

cool idea run the spare rim BTW thanks for the posted item it arrived today

Laurie Alderton (or more correctly Dave, his sidekick) will fix the rim. Probably about $90 and a few days turn-around.

If you go down that route let me know as I have client in the same street as Laurie so I could slip out for a delivery / pick up / network & do the logistics from this end Laurie has done a rim for me amongst many other fixes & mate the rim came out perfect!

Laurie Alderton is a dead-set legend from way back - if he is doing the work on your rims mate, you'll be fine.

There used to be a mob over in Queanbehole who did this, but they closed the shop about 4 years ago....

I may just do that......
