Fark bet it was interesting when that shit itself

You just don't know, when ya pick things up that are getting long in the tooth, bit of a pissa but a good excuse to rebuild the motor and check everything

Good luck dude

It went like this "funny noise-smoke-no power" so we think either no2 big end bearing went or it just stretched the rod anyway it was going great until then the supension is just about right the avon tyres seem to be worth the money and the brakes worked a treat.

Where are good places to get new bits from, either online or in sydney?

Hey roastdinajima
Where did you get your wheels powder coated?
Thanks

Whilst we're dealing with the engine rebuild i decided to get busy and clean up a few things and powdercoat some stuff aswell while its in bits

while i had the shock apart to do the spring i noticed something wasn't quite right

This is truely the bike that keeps on giving its just a shame its giving me the ball ache

It will practically be a new bike when you are finished rebuilding it.

No it'll just look like one

the budget is fast running out

While the motors in bits (got some pistons on ebay just looking for crank and rods now) i really ripped into the bike and stripped it right down and powdercoated the frame and spare swing arm (the one that was on the bike had a dirty great big crack in the weld around the axle block

) and a few other bits reassembled it today with a shock from ebay i think its a 7r unit as the spring is a slightly larger diameter.

Went for a little trip to Bris-vegas over the week end to pick this up

its gots lots bits we need and quite a few we don't.
