So the Motogadget unit is installed, after a week or so of working on it for an hour a day when I had the time. The wiring was pretty simply but the instructions seemed to over complicate things. Here it is just as I put the headlight back on. So happy with the result. Although that...

hey redi, nice to see another kiwi. Nice bikes! I see you have a nitroheads seat on your R80, is that the default fit or have you made it to fit like that? I have a r65 and am looking at seat options

Hi Guys, long time reader and I'd thought it was about time i share what I've been working on for the last few months. The story: I purchased the bike about 4 months ago now from an old guy who rode it around Scotland & the UK then shipped it all the way back home to New Zealand. He was a...

Nice! I'm in Auckland so hit me up if you are ever up this way riding.

Very nice! What part of NZ? From the pics it looks like Auckland? Tom

Im here too! In Auckland Central, student and work at Shed Five part time. In the process of repricing and sorting out stock. You lads should pop down for a look if you havent already. www.shedfive.co.nz

Love it! Simple and cool. SR's love those firestones. Well done sir.

scare, have lots of parts for the TW's at work. Give me a txt on 0211370321 and let me know if you need anything. Tom

very cool! How did it run without a filter and with the new exhaust? Did you have to re-jett it? Tom

Thanks for the kind words. I've just started working part time at a local custom bike shop so ill be able to do a lot more to the bike in the next few months. They have a shit load of cool parts from Japan and the mechanics there are gods! I've done nothing to it as yet apart from new lights...

Yeah, it depends who you go to. Most sport bikes have after market exhausts and im sure they all dont have certs. Just dont go to VTNZ, they are a rip off and have no clue about bikes bar a few of them. Try to find a bike friendly place and im sure if it doesnt pose a risk to safty then they...

Hey guys, Im in Auckland too. Have a Yamaha st225 that im doing atm. Had a few bikes before. Have you been onto greasemonkeys.co.nz? Cheers Tom

Most likely if you wanted to do it properly and have the $$. Are you needing a cert? If you go to people like VTNZ who have no idea, they will tell you to go and get a cert. Best to find a 'bike freindly' place for a wof. Ive had a few bikes, including a hardtail honda and most WOF people...
