That was quick
When i can get mine across the border from NSW i will give them a call
Mates recommended Brett , who i know from the salt lakes with his 1000cc Bottle, i am just a little concerned if i sent it to him it could be updated beyond my needs

Started a full rebuild on the air cleaner base today welding up around 20 rust holes. It would seem that anything steel or rubber didn't fair too well on old "Tetanus"
Just waiting on another headlight bucket to turn up(No 4
) so I can spray it, the air cleaner base, calipers and the centers of the disks........and anything else I can find that needs black paint.

Bretts the man, did my motor back in 2008, asked me at the time about the bike and what I wanted done, which was a reliable club bike, so the only real upgrade was Wiseco pistons.

No doubt, but that's the reason I have 4 headlamp buckets...People have a tendency to bullsh*t about the condition of things, so If I can repair something I will.
