Posted June 23, 201113 yr G'day. Have ridden bikes for a while and always been pulling them to bits as much as I can and rebuilding them. Used to ride a Kwaka or two ( road) and now have a 86 FJ1200, 149 thou on the clock... (bought it at 98 thou) bought a Gsx 750 E which i would like to make into an ES?EF? and also recently aquired 2 DT 175's to rebuild with more bits coming apparently. Like a good long ride and the Effy is perfect for it and a good way to keep fit through twisties :D, the DT project is a continueing love affair... was my first bike, and ironically these bikes are at the same process I needed to do to my old one, full rebuild new clutch and a good clean and repaint :D:D Cheers
June 30, 201113 yr Author Thought i should show my girls off.... heres my daily.... bought with 98 000 k's on clock... just up to 156000 k now, only had to do timing chain and tyres, have rebuilt front forks, fixed pin hole leak in engine barrells ( that was some head scratching,!!) overhauled brakes ( still squeak!!) and it needs new rings and valve seals (roughly 20% compression loss each cylinder) 86 FJ 1200 work one in progress.... Suzuki GSX 750 e ( which may become an ese...) the first of the 500 buck specials !!! and heres the DT's. these were 600 bucks but so far the parts i have received and the engines and stuff? priceless... has taken a trailer and a car trip, and still more coming!! thats the 1980 g model and behind it i have a 1978 model. both with matching cases....:D:D:D copyoulater neil
