nah mate....... go team orange all the way!!!

it's looking bloody good mate

top stuff tony!!!!!

Looking real nice Tony .
A lot of "bang for ya buck.."
Have fun...GO THE TWO STROKES !!!!!

Bang!!!

Now have to figure out whether to get the stock RGV jobbies again or some Vertex single ring jobbies (slightly more dollars).

Any 2 smoke experts with opinions?

Love your work Tony. No wonder it stopped running........ Did it do much damage to the bore/head?

eiye shes farked captain

Hey it was running a couple of minutes before those pics were taken .

the bore is pretty fucked on that one, and I think the head may be gone too .

Should I get a couple of forgies?

get a 4 stroke kawasaki for a start

id go with the vertex ones,,, whats the price diff or get a 4 stroke

Nah, put another set of original pistons in it again, then blow it up again so I can say "I told you so" again

Work out why it went bang before you do anything . Wont matter what pistons go back in if the issue that caused that is still there .
I am no expert at all , but looks like you were running lean on that cylinder . Hard to tell from the photo , perhaps show the piston to a 2 stroke tuner .
With that amount of crap gone through things a complete strip down of the engine is wise .
A fuel issue , not enough, will cause it to run lean = burning piston /too much air for the fuel meaning an air leak , ie a crank seal sucking air or a cracked case or gasket = same result
Blocked jet ? How is the other piston / plug .
2 stokes can be fickle and they require some checking to make sure the air/fuel ratio is kept right . But remember one thing , Dave #3 watches videos of rampant Circus Ponies every time Cath goes down the street shopping so dont listen to anything he says .

Err I already got one of them dude, but I bought a non kwakka to abuse at the track .

Yeah thanks Billy, I'll strip it all down and see if the dyno guy around here will touch it, I'm half a chance seeing it will be freshly rebuilt. And I know what you mean about Dave, need we say more?

looks like he's practicing for a midnight run up Oxford St in his smalls !!

Gos. They ain't smalls
