Mr Machinist Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
