I had a set around 10yr ago so might be different now. Pretty good bang for buck seat. Be fine for a race car, not the most comfortable for a long trip though.

I was going to go out today but cold/flu said no. I'll head out tomorrow for sure. I did go for an amble Thursday night(probably the reason for the cold/flu ive had). I always seem to giggle like a school kid, when it hits 8k and the second power valve blade opens. Just like powerband on 2t motorcrosser.

He didn't do enough reading then. There are only a couple of tuners SMART enough to get lpg to work right. He obviously didn't see one of them.

Yeah it was around 11-12 yesterday, in all honesty it's not the cold thats the issue. I've got some fairly warm winter gear, its the older back tyre in the wet and the wind was nasty. If the weather stays dry today I'll go for a fang tonight.

So it haves reg. I haves gear. Then rain and crazy wind arrives!!! Melbourne weather sucks sometimes.

They are cool blokes, met them through a good mate. They started off opening a workshop setup, with a heap of stations that you hire. They include mc hoist, tools, fab and electrical equipment to build choppers to cafe's and everything in between. They did it to help people that live inner-city and have no room to build/mod their dream bikes. Pretty badass idea if you ask me.

They have some trick stuff Smith bros, have an agent down our way. I seriously can't believe you haven't banana'd any std pushrods yet, with the springs you've got in that head. He definitely has a mental Camaro, ultra neat too by the looks of it.

The 250 barrel conversion is already well documented and even sold in kit form, but I will be trying to do it cheaper than the 1,500 pound the kit usuall sells for. The crank mod is something the bike shop across the laneway at work is doing (I'm helping a bit with some machining) on an rg500. I will be taking plenty of pics and vids as we do them. But none of this will happen for me until the rolla is boosted again. The mirrors that came with the bike were useless, threads were stripped and would blow over at 90km/h. That and they were too short to see anything other than my arms. So i bought some longer aftermarket ones from the shop today, probably a little too long and look funny but no f's given as now I can see. I'll pop a photo up when i get back to the bike. Off to shop for some gear.

I know what your saying, I just want to put more than the 8km I have only done on the rgv. Haha The french one is more my style. With HD's if it aint black denim it needs a flake job as crazy as an 80's speed boat!! http://kustomkommune.com.au/news these melb based guys are doing some cool stuff.

Quality job, by the looks of the photos. Would the forks take a wheel that wide?

Sssooo my two mad scientist 2 stroke friends(one was an R&D mech for pro-circuit team kwaka in the states) and myself have started working out the new engine combo. Looks like we'll start with cr250 barrels and pistons which will give me 300cc then after some measuring of the crank counter weights I've found that it should be easy enough to get an extra 8mm of stroke. This with base gasket spacers should net me 360cc should be good for 75-80hp a an f'ton of torque.

I'm going, what I take will be dependent on the weather. What's these rumours of hot K parts from a celebrity in murica?!?!

Needs a 48 sized front wheel, that seat and your gold!!!!!!

WGMG: a good mate of mine got seriously stitched up on a work cover claim. What makes it worse is he cannot get disability pension as they believe a fused neck with neurology reports he can never work again, is a disability. WTF?!?!?! Yet any skank that opens her thighs and pops a sprog or two gets a metric f'ton of cash thrown at them even before child support!!

I like it, I really like it.

Cheers man, nah no rego monday, waiting for club inspection, they need date and time stamped photos for records. May take a week or two for that and I really need a jacket and pants or two piece leathers. A hoody and jeans just doesn't cut it.

They use them to digitize the model to cut the forging, makes it easier to program the cnc. To do it like your saying "as forged crown" would be a min order of 500+ parts and an outlay of thousands of dollars in die work. It is a nice way to do it but not really economically viable.

Hahaha. Roadworthy in my hand, now i just need reg. Considering it's only a 250 it goes pretty good, rode it to the shop and back 8,000+ is what it likes.

Roadworthy day!!!!!! So far it needs a front tyre, which I'm getting them to put on today. Will know what else it needs in an hour or so.

That and a proper cage should be all you'll need. Stitch welding is by far the best way to do it. A work sponsored customer runs full seam welded bay, car has to make atleast 1300hp considering it runs 8.3-8.5 qtr mile in FULL street trim. No cracks to speak of, in 7+ years!! If your worried about the rear mounts, tying them into the cage supports will help too.

Dude 120psi is fairly weak too.

It's hard, I like both looks. I do like how simple and clean the new headlight looks though.

Haha rode it last weekend after fixing the rear brakes, luckily I'd organised an unreg permit as i was pulled over 500mtr up the road. Haha So lately I've rebuilt the rear master cyl, replaced rear disk and pads, Straightened and painted the front cage, re-honed the front fork legs, fixed front brake light switch and replaced front pads. Now i need to fit new chain and sprockets, fix 3 fairing cracks and fit them all and it's ready for a roady. Tyres, while fairly old are still not cracked or overly hard, so I'll see if they pick em.

Good to see it's not just a commuter, mods Look good too.

Nope sure wont, no boost reference. Factory ECU's are like megasquirt and microtechs only good for bin fill! Don't skimp on an ECU thats what keeps your engine running.
