    kawasaki kh100 g7 - first custom build

    One hand through the air filter hole end straight out onto the bench! I think it weighs a while 15-20kg. Came across a problem today, I was going to rebuild the forks while I wait on two more oil seals and I noticed one of the front guard's nuts (the one on the fork itself) has been sheared off...

    Rd350a restoration, my first attempt

    Is more for size, im 6'4 so the Rd is a little small, would probably consider a h1, t500, gt550 or an rd400 for size Sent from my SM-P605 using Tapatalk

    Rd350a restoration, my first attempt

    And it was worth every second of that wait! After the painted parts came back it was reassembly time! She was in one piece again, all she needed was a tune and some fresh rubber! On came thr pirelli sport demons, as well as a new chain while I was there. I couldn't believe how hard it...

    Rd350a restoration, my first attempt

    Unfortunately on this resto, 90% of the work is done befofe I joined DTT so it wont be well documented like my kh100 build is. After getting the bike home I stried to start her, run some injector cleaner through a gatorade bottle hooked up to some fuel hose straight into the carbies, it would...

    kawasaki kh100 g7 - first custom build

    As far as cleaning the head and jug goes, what is the recommended method to remove that flaking oxidization on the jug? Tempted to hit it with the wire wheel at low speed but I known thats probably not the best or safest way of dealing with it. Getting further into the engine myninention was...

    kawasaki kh100 g7 - first custom build

    That was my thinking, the fact that the exhaust was rusted to hell probably didnt help much. Sent from my SM-P605 using Tapatalk

    Rd350a restoration, my first attempt

    Not quite, I wrote that thinking of the 3500 I was prepared to pay after a bit of haggling, a mint original 350 in Australia is 8-14k and a rough bike is 4-6k Sent from my SM-P605 using Tapatalk

    kawasaki kh100 g7 - first custom build

    The oil pump came out without an issue, the gears on it were fine as well but I will be stripping it down before it goes back in to make sure there won't be any future problems. My goal for last night was to get the engine onto the bench, happy to say I got it there with no issues other...

    kawasaki kh100 g7 - first custom build

    Got some decent progress with the mechanical side of things yesterday and today. For anyone not familiar with the kh design, the carburetor sits inside this cover. Took it off without any dramas, very simple design when you try and take the screw out from the right side... Not sure what...

    Rd350a restoration, my first attempt

    2 rd350s came home, the 350a for me and the 350b as a project for my dad and I to work on. The rd350a had just over 8 thousand miles, wouldn't spark or get fuel into the barrels, luckily the oil pump worked but the cable to the throttle kept jumping off the pully. Tyres held air but by the...

    Rd350a restoration, my first attempt

    After a 3 hour drive in a van I "borrowed" from work, my brother and I rolled up to the small victorian town of Broadford. As we went down the single main road of the town towards our destination we saw something very unique and quite old, the Australian veteran car club was stopped there...

    kawasaki kh100 g7 - first custom build

    Im 6'4 so its not quite my size, I wanted a bike I could practice a bit on before doing a big custom build, amd I wanted her to start riding (she wanted to ride too), win-win! I cant go quite as extreme as I would like to purely because if there's something she doesn't like I'll never hear the...

    kawasaki kh100 g7 - first custom build

    Picked up a little kh100 for my girlfriend as a first bike and something she can learn a little about bikes on. I have a pair of air cooled rd350s so a two smoker for her was an obvious choice. The bike is rough, but that's what happens when you buy a bike that costs less than a bottom end...

    Rear brake/ exhaust clash

    The rear brakes pull the ass end of the bike down alowing you to apply more force with front, they aren't essential for stopping but they are for riding properly, if you're not in the habbit of doing it on the daily, when you need it in an emergency it isnt first instinct or "muscle memory". So...
