Just a quick question, how are you going to get the flares passed as roadworthy? are the a little more lenient in VIC?
I dont care that my laces aren't fat or that I'm not even close to flush and I certainly don't want to be the illest!

So it started today probly the greatest thing ever had truble finding the right bolts to plug holes but its all sorted now. i had to buy a
Batery but after that it started pretty easy no nocks or rattles witch was good. so tomorrow arvo i might try taking the gearbox out.

Well I ordered a shifter extension and it arrived so tried it out and even with the razo short shifter it dosnt seem very short its perfect height but the throw is a little long. might get a shorter short shifter down the line.

and I did not even start removing the gearbox was too hung over and had too many other things to do:( but will get there at some point hopefully I can get home early from work one night this week and get it at least started.

compressed air? you know, the way you remove bike hand grips (normal ones, circa me, age 11)
