The SkyTeam 'Ace' Resource

Perfect weather for a ride!

A trip south - 230k of back roads. Went to Colo Vale to see the builder of the chambers for the RaZoR, hopefully will have a result before Christmas.

Razorback lookout; Sydney is barely visible on the horizon above the Ace's headlight:

Met ACEitup (as post above) when I got back to the city, we made an arrangement for a joint Ace ride soon.

Crazy
 
Still waiting for the bike... Ordered it at Motociclo in Sydney, sent them a $500 deposit on 5/11 and it was supposed to take 1 week to arrive from WA + 2 days to assemble it. Haven't heard of them since... Sent them an email three days ago and no response:-(
 
cheapest upgrade .. replacing the bolts bit by bit.. new handlebar yoke bolts and master cylinder screws, allen key heads, $1 aud for the lot.. now at least my bars wont fall off on me ;)

that is super sexy. i ended up getting a local welder to chop off brfore the cat and weld on an extension. its ugly, but it works i guess. i have sprayed it with high heat paint. has nothing on that pipe tho.
 
Yay , mines just been delivered and I fit :D - bought over the web so bit of a risk as I'm well over 6ft .

Just eating breakfast then off to have a meddle , fired it up but it was not easy - bit cold here over night and the jetting is so obviously very weak it took a while to start then needed lots of choke to keep going - as reported ;)

Next problem seems to be getting insured , quotes so far have been for what seems a lot for a cheap 125 or just not a bike recognised by their sytems . :o

That looks very good. Where can you buy that from?

I have not insured my ace, I don't think it's necessary. in fact I haven't insured any motorcycle. they are not worth enough. maybe if I had a Honda dream 50 i might at 30k for theft, but not a $1,500 Chinese knockoff. 3rd party insurance only lol.

Yep , I insured mine third party only this morning - with the excess and the raised premiums etc its just not worth claiming !

Bought this tacho which is not a bad match with the original speedo , just need to sort the brackets out .

Will chop out the cat. and drop one of these on - might need an extra bit of pipe to keep the tuned length ;)

Could you post a picture because I cannot open the ebay page, got the restriction error.
 
alright it's the same I installed 8)
Also changed the speedo for the same manufacturer speedo. Same size, same design, looks clean.

Your Acewell is really nice but a bit too big for my liking.
Did you try so screw the dashboard underneath the two fork thread ? It'd lower the thing by a few centimers.

Im planning removing the OEM light & bracket & replacing with a (possibly) 7" sidemounted unit with 35w H4 HID conversion.

Also plan on moving the ignition switch down to a panel/plate where the EGR kit normally sits.

Those 2 together should allow me to drop the Acewell right down
