For me it starterd with the swing-arm(best looker in the buisness), then that motor balls out for all to see, and old style twin shocks, a bike that looks like a bike. And there's not that many of em around.

Cant wait to get mine back on the road, all things going according to plan that will be tomorrow

To say I am excited is an undertstatement

Just having some curry for dinner and then I'm out the the shed (its the Hoff special - Masala Dosa and then Chat, followed by Kofta's.....woo hoo)

Post some pics when it's done Phil.

It's funny though, I am not into modding things normally. If I do, it's never for cosmetic reasons. I am happy with the Rex, but yet, I still desire to make maybe one or two more changes. Front forks need a refresh at least, preferably a revalve. A new screen to replace the one I broke when it fell on the MR2. Replace the cheap shitty aftermarket indicators with something of better quality and which work. Replace the slightly warped discs with some new ones. Some heated grips for winter and I am done.

It clicked over to 77,000klms on the Reefton run last weekend, I even watched as I have watched several milestones roll over, 33,333, 44,444, 55,555, 66,666 and soon 77,777.

My Rex has just about hit the 100,000 k mark. I've only had it for 3 or so years but what an absolute gem these things are. Mine is just about as standard as you could find and that torquey engine is a gem all by itself.

I sent you some txt pics

Not finished yet, still need to do one more thing and then I'll post a pic

But am I done - well - who knows.

And I agree with you, there are very few mods in my bike that are for cosmetic reasons only - functional - every last bit, well except the cut down rear fender

cmon phil... post up a pic im guessing wheels maybe

Nah, nothing like that

Here you go Pinchy, view from this angle wont change much. Can you pic what has been done?

We're gonna have to start calling you Cole Trickle with your fancy Nascar bits n' all.

Looks very functionally "cool" mate. Pardon the pun.

Reportedly 25% cooler. Even got Ron's markings on it

i can understand why you havent been riding a bike without a radiator

Nice Phil. I am jealous now. Can't wait for components to wear out so I can replace them with other tasty bits.

hmm Phil......... you disturb me but in a good way........
