Been way too long since I have ben on here. Just looking thru some of the pics and posts, has got the itch going - need to get a bit more work done on my little bike. Just has been too good a weather not to go riding.

I had a daily rider, and was able to get a project bike to work on, but my girlfriend said after that one, no more til she gets a ring on the finger. Thought that was pretty reasonable. The other bike is about half fixed, she is starting to think the money for her ring is going into new tyres...

WooooHoooo got the bike going. A weekend of tinkering, then a set of new plugs, fresh fuel and a fully charged battery saw life breathed back into the bike. Huge smile, luv the roar of a little 2stroke in the morning

Been neglecting the bike for the last few weeks. After sinking in a bit of $$ into it, my daily rider needed some work so the little blue one took a back seat. Out chasing up some photos for another DTT'er that is fixing up another CS3 and thought I should start her up and let her run. BUT...

Thanks guys for the tips

finished tool box

Picked up an old ammo box, so I thought I would try the tips I got on rattle can paint jobs in 1800 help. Also trying out a colour match to my bike for a possible re-spray in the future. Was happy with the finished paint job, even added a little aussie flavour to it.

G'day, great to welcome another fellow Aussie to the site. This is a great place to get great answers- got a lot of my 'dumb' questions answered here, still asking them too !!! Looking forward to seeing the build. Really liking the small bike builds

I have a couple of dodgy spokes and looking at re-lacing the wheels of my old Yamaha. Is this something that is achievable with minimal equipment and experience or does it fall into the 'Dark Arts' area?

Thanks mate for the info, given me more confidence to take the plunge. Where did you source the spokes? ebay ?

Keen to hear how you went with the lacing of the wheels Where did you get the spokes, and did you have a jig to re-lace them? Might have to go thru the same, so keen to gain any advice !!!

Any news on a Vol 2?

Swapped out the old tacho cable with a NOS one, got the blinker / flasher unit sorted. The trip to the mechanic sorted out the fork seals, and they needed a little straightening. New tyres fitted and list of things that I need to sort out for the rego. A question I will throw out to the...

Got the bike back from the mechanci a few weeks ago, been a bit slow in adding some new photos. So here is one of the new set of tyres
