Rear springs at max tightness. At least 3 inches of space. Never rubbed and I've hit some big holes. And whatever haters. I had fun. I'll probably hate your bikes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. Noob and proud. You miserable old cants were all noobs at some stage. We can't all be Steve Jobs from the get go now can we. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My first custom project has scrubbed up nice and is on Gumtree - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/allambie-heights/motorcycles/custom-brat-style-suzuki-gsx-250-motorcycle/1099872867 View the article Pipeburn wrote about the bike -...

Don't know if anyone will read this. But I need to give the guys at S3 Performance in VIC a big shout out. The Acewell you see on my bike was actually faulty and never functioned the way it should have. Not only did the guys at S3 troubleshoot it, they sent me a replacement free of charge when...

Braided sleeve indeed. If you're in Australia, you can also pick up a pack from MCAS for about $40. Comes with heat shrink tubing as well. Or look for it on eBay.

The beast is back. Needs a few tweaks and bits finished before I ride it every day. Runs well and starts first time. Will take some fancy pants photos once it's done. lil' brat build by beachpunk, on Flickr lil' brat build by beachpunk, on Flickr

Thanks dudes. Sorting the electrics was a hassle. I thought I had everything right until I connected up the batteries and the starter went off! No oil or fuel in the engine! Shat myself. Even considered asking for help on here. Taking step by step photos of the wiring and getting the people...

Been a while since I've thrown anything up here... Been busy! Eventually got the bike back together but... the electrics were messed up. Probably by me!! So the only way out was to get the bike down to my local shop to get sorted. Been in there over the xmas break so should be on the road in a...

Made some cables tonight for the starter and grounding the battery. And tidied up the switch blocks. So many wires!!! Next time I'll go cleaner and try and hide them inside the bars. Should have this sucker done soon. lil' brat build by beachpunk, on Flickr lil' brat build by beachpunk, on...

Thanks dude. I like the gauge because it's still got an analogue tacho. Didn't feel right getting a full digital one. Not on an older ride. Have to wire the whole bike this weekend. Should be interesting!

Got my new Acewell speedo/tacho/digital fancy thing on tonight. Cut a bracket to go under the risers. Job done, sits in the perfect spot. Now have to figure out how to wire the sucker up. lil' brat build by beachpunk, on Flickr lil' brat build by beachpunk, on Flickr lil' brat build by...

Been a while but managed to get stuck back in. The front indicators have been annoying me for a while. I had to order a length of steel pipe from the UK after calling every Steel merchant in Australia and getting nothing. If all else fails, eBay it. Started by cutting the right length and...

Evel Knievel style. Jump it off the balcony!!! I'll see if it fits in the lift. Otherwise I'll take off the front end end man handle it back into the garage.

Yeah all the old 80s GSX / GSXR wheels are pretty light looking. Something a bit different to full spokes though. Mind you, I did consider finding some hubs that fit and getting some spoke wheels made. Too much deniro, next time!!! I like these for now.
