LOL, its probably the gear oil out of the John Deere, once its past use there it goes into the farm ute, once its used up there then its still perfectly fine for fork oil..........

I've decided to stick with the agricultural look too. I've been looking at these fancy café racer websites and I see ...

Looking for an old 4 into 1 exhaust for my GPz charity ride bike. Need something in serviceable condition, doesn't have to be pretty, the rest of the bike is rusty and beaten up, a new one would just look out of place .

Let me know what you have.

Cheers

Bit of an update, I picked up a set of 75mm pistons from Cruisimage in Japan so we're boring this thing out to 1170. I dropped the barrels down to RPE in Bathurst to get that work done along with a clean up of the head and some repairs. Should see that stuff back in a month or so. I also got the ...

Heh heh gotta give that cocky points for creativity! Thanks for the heads up regards the bottom end, I'm trying to keep the budget low on this version of the bike and pulling the bottom end out completely would see it shelved. Once its duties as a charity bike are done then i'll pull it apart and do ...

Well I managed to do a proper clean up of the bores yesterday with a hone and looks like the bore in number 3 is well past saving, so i'll get an 1170 kit for it.

There was a fair bit of oil in there but I wouldn't ...

Thanks HB, at this stage yeah the injection is gonna be scrapped. The bike is going to be used as a charity ride bike (Scrapheap Adventure Ride) where minimal expenditure and maximum creativity are the goal, we find ourselves in some out of the way places and I think I'd rather be stuck in the bush ...

Thanks pkay, sometimes ya just gotta be in the right place at the right time! And speaking of which, a mate has just loaned me a set of BS34's off a GT750 which i'll jet up and use to replace the injection, for the moment at least. My plan is to get it rideable as cheaply as possibly and use it on ...

Heh heh thanks! Well I picked up the beast yesterday morning, ended up getting it for a few hundred. Gonna take a fair bit of work.

I'm not much of a facebook type but will look you guys up there!

Cheers

OD

Gday Everyone, I'm a newbie here, names Bill but most just call me OD. I'm a long term Kwaka nut, have a ZX14R in the shed, and have had quite a few from z1000's to GPz900s and ZX12's over the years. And have modified them pretty seriously at times too. I live out in the Cobar region where we have ...

G'day Everyone,
I'm Bill and I joined up a few weeks ago and have been lurking a bit since, thought it was about time I posted up a hello. Most people simply refer to me as OD.

I've been riding and building bikes for a long time, I'm pretty much a Kawi-phile although I'm not racist :D . I currently ...
