This is all the australian builds i'm aware of, on this forum and caferacer.net, netrider.org.au, etc. they can get arranged in some order once we decide what that should be. add more after this post and i'll paste them in. some of them aren't really build threads, eg sickman's rickman, but...

looks like mikuni carbs and an electronic ignition might be affordable in a couple of months, awesome! haven't bought anything expensive from the U.S.A. for over a year, i've been waiting for something like this to happen. what about you guys, anything you've got your eye on?

http://mulemotorcycles.net/web-surfer.html $8000 total budget for a cycle world project, 37 pictures in the build diary, and most of it was done in his driveway. really shows that if you spend money in the right places it is evident.

http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/JapCafeRacer/ it's there^, underused a little, but i'm noticing more and more australian members on this forum and caferacer.net, so i thought it would be worth trying to get some more members to sign up, to do parts exchange, swap details of good mechanics and...

ok, i've run into issues, i've timed this bike once before, and it worked, since then i've dismantled the head and lapped the valves and then reassembled, so it's possible i messed something up in the assembly which is making this harder...
