Very nice Matt, keep up the good work, she looks awesome!

More work at the weekend. The rear brake cover isn't finished but is getting there. Stator side cover : Stator side: This was painted black: Halfway through the tank revealed some big dents: Clutch side: Dan the fork technician: Heated, chopped and bent spring: Removal of steel...

Not as far as I'm aware :'(

It's all what you're used to, you guys get some good cars that we don't get. Also, as a function of the average salary our American/European cars are ridiculously expensive. We get smashed in the botty in Australia for anything other than a Ford or Holden. Toyota aren't bad value either...

Some pictures taken on Sunday morning after my work on Saturday: The frame needs a lot of girnding, welding and smoothing. The top triple clamps are gonna be taken to with the grinder as well. I have had a bit of an attempt at cleaning the engine up, the fins and heads look nowhere near...

Yeah, Toyota made a big mistake making them FWD. Don't get wrong, the car goes well considering the power it's putting through the front wheels, but it turned alot of die hard AWD RWD car owners off. I do a 130Km round trip to work everyday and I can get 7.5-8.0 l/100km out of it and run it on...

Here's my daily driver: No. 159 off the production line.

Here are some pics taken on the 18th after my night of taking bits off the bike: I took some more pics on Saturday with the bike literally in bits, engine out, wheels off...everything. I'll post them up along with other pics and progress updates as I go :o

Project Name: El >moto< loco Inspiration bike: Much like Cafe-XV750 on this forum, I too was inspired by the Zero tribute XV750, so much so that I started looking on the net, bought a bike and started work on it last Monday night (17/05/10) after work. This is how the bike looked in...

Matt - Two quick questions for you. What tire did you end up going with on the front? And also, because it's hard to tell from the pic, have you done anything with the 2 hardpiped breather lines welded to LH side of the frame? I keep looking at mine and think about chopping them out and...

Any more news on this project? I'm very keen to see the fruits of your labor :)
