I measured 330mm eye to eye. Postie shocks should fit and can be found very cheap if you're lucky. Another option in Australia is replacement shocks from a Braap Mercury 250cc for $85. I have not read much good about the JBS shocks online, but I think it would be difficult to find shocks worse...

Stevo she's looking very clean. What headlight do you have on there?

Keenly following orrible!

Thanks orrible & bonester. Think easiest option would be to go with a lift and some blocks

What are we all using to lift up our Aces for more involved surgery? I have a head lift stand with the right pin size, but cannot find a rear paddock stand that is narrow enough for the Ace. I don't have the crate the bike came in. Underside of the engine doesn't look too flat either so not...

Replacing the stock rear shocks - is bushing size on both ends 12mm? Edit: sorted, 12mm. was measuring the wrong part

Thanks Crazy, that's perfect. Now to be certain I understand what each bolt is called...

I'm following that guide and I have been able to hammer-in the bar end stoppers on the throttle side. However on the clutch side I can't budge it no matter how hard I hit. Any one have any tips?

Works fine when warm, and the kickstart works all the time. Melbourne, so cold, but not snowy.

Looking at the Ace as my first motorbike, power in moderation and clearly enough info online to learn how to maintain it. I've found a second-hand one that already has the OORacing mods (which I was planning to do myself) with fairly low kms so it looks like a good deal. The only issue the...
