Gas up - Let's Go! Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 having read what some want in a newbie threat I don't think it was ever a threat...... Welcome along, I'm sure the testosterone will subdue soon, and they can all get back to normal 'bloke talk' I had a friend who moved back to Brisbane, it's only a small place, maybe you know him ?

Latelifecrisis Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Got any pics ?, sounds like an interesting build. No pic's yes not until it's all finished. the fairing is a Police special that will give me full protection on face and arms and the speedo tach cluster comes from the same bike . It even has a thingy on there that will tell me my speed or what it was when I pushed that button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vez Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hey Doa, welcome to the forum. Where do i send the number plates . Front rooms work as well as dining rooms btw . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latelifecrisis Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 sorry never in the Front room, that is the emergency parking space for when the thunderstorms roll in and there is hail in the forecast. I will work out today how to post the 2 pics I have of the fairing I just bought. No point putting up pics of the bike when it's in bits all over the place.

Latelifecrisis Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 ok I am finally stuck, maybe somebody can send me in the right direction. What front forks fit my xj 750 apart from that models? or how do I determine what will work and what wont? Measuring the holes? lenghts of the black bit on the bottom? Mine ae stuffed and I need to get a new set. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latelifecrisis Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Finally found the answer to my fork problem, bought a new set today including new brakes. Had a nice chat to the exhaust man, what a lovely bloke that guy is he understands women. So the bike is semi booked in to get that taken care of in 3 weeks, I better get cracking so I am done by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latelifecrisis Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Just a Flood update Brisbane has flooded, but the water didn't rise as high as they thought it would. If it would have rained for another 2-3 hrs the way it had been it would have been a lot worse. We were 800 mm on the dam away from a lot bigger flood then what we have now. I am safe and dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
