that sounds like a plan.. i will do that immediatly.. thankx for the tip mate, its appreciated..

the tank had a fairly good dent on one side and i suspect that it had a bit of rust on the inside as well judging by the pic i got of it..

my location is freezing bluddy lithgow in nsw..

best offer i have had to date was $75 without a fuelcock.. that was from a motorcycle wrecker..

no worries.. i am starting to believe that those tanks are as rare as rocking horse s*it.. and i had me hopes up too.. looks like i better get that tank sealing kit instead.. oh well..

has he still got any of those parts laying around?.. or better yet.. can you do an introduction in rgs to ph numbas so that i could talk to him?..

i just checked the interior of the tank on vix bike and it is growing stalagmite and stalagmite rusticles in there..so i am no longer just waving my ...

There was a site, or is a site, from one of the paint manufacturers and they had some really wild paints, along with some photos of bikes that were painted with them...wish I knew where it was....?

i have had vix bike running around 80-90 kms for an extended length ...

i was looking into trying out a different brake system from another (same age-ish) bike tho i am not too optimistic about it..

anyone have any suggestions? or better yet a different different system just collecting dust in a shed somewhere?..

yeah i know about the fuel tank sealant kits.. dammed expensive but worth it if a new tank costs heaps more than the kit.. i prefer to get a new or newish fuel tank..

in rgs to the front brakes.. reason it takes so dam effing long to stop is that the front brake is a cable not hydrolic.. just pull ...

thankx for the welcome.. :D


hehehe.. speaking of slow, have a guess what the little woman wants to do.. in late june i am heading up to bribie island to visit a few people and she wants to tag along on the z200.. i am not even sure if the z200 will even make that sort of trip.. but considering ...

i have a z200 which i just had rwc'd etc etc which i just gave to the little woman.. she has just gotten her learners so i figgured she had better have something to ride..hence the z200 on the scene.. apart from a new chain and sprocket set and a new back tire there was nothing else for me to do to ...
