#kimilwrongun has been at war with me. We have fought on the brake front. So far both of us are in no mans land. The front pads had been rubbing on the caliper mounting bracket. This was causing the binding. Grinder on the mounting bracket and the pads now retract off the disc. No binding. Then...
I acquired a 2002 Hyosung GT250. Hence me naming it #kimilwrongun.
Of course I have had to make it my own. Firstly that body work. Shudder.
It had been ridden for 10 laps at Aftershock this year. History before that? Who knows.
Me doing what I love...
Body work coming off.. Looks more sled...
So excited that this bike has been picked as one of the bikes to be on display at the 2017 ThrottleRoll Street Party this Easter... http://www.throttleroll.com/streetparty/
Ride around to a mates place. Laugh at him while he works on his bike. He fits old seat he has to Rusty. Mates are the best. That's 4 seats so far on and off Rusty. Fetish for seats?
Yesterday I fitted wider tracker bars and 50 year old Gilera hand grips. Like wide bars for better control in...
Took battery out. Fitted a Battery Eliminator. Kick start only now. Starts 2nd kick.
Took the very nice NEW tracker seat off. It will go on my daughter's GS125 build.
Fitted the old ratty chopper seat that has been on my other bikes.
Mounted the number plate so it is more up right.
Photo shoot time for Rusty. Found an old abandoned Cold Storage plant to shoot at.
Also added a slimmer longer rear guard to keep the water off the air filter.
When you buy a bike that has already been customised the challenge is to make it your own.
Accepted the challenge.
Made a small fairing out of some old body work from a Gilera scooter.
So I sold Bender by rat whatever Honda Transalp.
I have down graded. Bought a 2007 Yamaha 225cc Scorpio that has already had a full makeover.
This is how it arrived yesterday.
The previous owner bought a bog Scorpio and gave it to her mechanic and said have at it. He had the tank hand...
Went to the local wreckers. Said a mate said they had wrecked an RG250. Owners says yeah 25 years ago. Ask if he had a speedo from it. He says he has two. Gets a drill with a bit of speedo cable in it. Both speedos work. I buy one.
The RG speedo matches the RG front wheel fitted to the DR500...
"Pizza Cutter" - Cutting up the tar
It starts.
It goes.
1 up and 3 down on a gear shift that is on the right side makes my brain hurt.
Rode it for about 2 kms today.
Saw 35 miles per hour on the speedo.
It cuts out in top gear. Back into the shed.
So stoked that it is rid-able.
I did not take my...
