Where can i get fairings for a NC30? I've only come across justfairings.co.nz but was hoping there was something else out there. Also the ability to order just a section alone such as a tail would be good. ...

Did a quick search, nothing immediate popped out at me, so apologies if this has been asked before. I did a custom fender eliminator on my GT250R and am wondering what is required to get a warrant. I currently don't have a reflector or number plate light. Are they compulsary? I'm thinking...

the engine side of things has all gone surprisingly smoothly so far and I've decided that since it runs I'm going to get all the cosmetic stuff up to scratch while I do the engine, mainly so that I can alternate tasks as cleaning the engine becomes tedious very quickly and I don't really want to...

As in the pic my plate hanger has snapped, this was caused as the second bolt hole on the larger piece was not fastened in..... and NZ's rather bumpy roads (probably not helped but jumping the subsidence on Esmonde road!) I was thinking that a bit of ali bent to shape and resting over the...

I've got a front fender to get repaired - it's from a Suzuki VL1500 and It looks to be made out of steel. Can anyone suggest a panel beater that they've used before or perhaps a bike specific one?

Hi all :) Just picked up my new KLE 500... a sweet bike EXCEPT for the seat :( I know the rider seat guys in Tauranga will do a good job BUT they aren't exactly cheap. Does anyone know of an upholsterer in AKL that, if not specialising in bike seats has got reasonable experience with...

A friend who has a 89 Sportster 1200 is looking to restore the black powder coating that is currently slowly but surely flaking off in and around the engine cooling fins etc. Is complete disassembly the only option? Or are there other ways. Where do people generally start when looking to...

hey guys. I am wondering roughly what one can expect to pay for a one colour paint job on a fully faired bike, so tank, side and front fairing.
