Bit rough is a bit of an understatement I reckon!
Also, gutted that's a bit ridiculous, coulda bought off that guy for cheap?;-)
Speaking of a bit rough...did anyone see gatch's vfr? I feel the need to post pics..had the carbs apart again..cleaned them out as idle jet was blocked and crap all through them, set idle mix screws, new plugs in the rear two cylinders (front two I have put off doing with the Oil and filter):-p.

Should I change to white wheels? Or just change the back wheel to white?
And I'm thinking tank cover in red and white as it's 89$ USAd in japan...maybe 150/200 max shipped as opposed to 400-450 to get it painted...thoughts?

BT90 rear tyre listed here http://www.bits4bikes.co.nz/parts/Honda/635.aspx
A few bridgestone front tyres available but not a BT90.
Trouble with the BT90 for the rear is that it is a track biased tyre and probably won't hold up to road riding very nicely.
So an update on my VFR purchase (it's not all that bad).
So whomever decided to do the fork oil last had overfilled the forks resulting in compression lock. Mechanic said its not uncommon as the fill level can be misinterpreted. That's all sorted, got the bike on stands in the garage still just while the mechanic checks over the front calipers which were having piston issue. All going to plan might get my 2nd ever ride in this weekend. Hoping to do a track day on her on the 6th but wont take it out unless I'm 100% happy with how the bike is feeling. Over all seems a good buy though, with the exception of the paddock stands which I may have bought anyway bikes only cost $200ish to get sorted. At least now I know what I am sitting on while caning it over the port hills!
That video of Taupo looked fun, got fond memories of Taupo, my favourite track so far... Love how you boys are tearing strips off all the big bikes
Finally got my bike out in the weekend, was a tad wet but she handles beautiful, really happy with my choice. Sounds farking fantastic too, got quite a loud pipe on it, love how it turns from a growl to a purr up high.
I said I wouldn't but...
Japamart : Congratulations!! You won the auction

MC28 rear wheel.
Nice, what did that set you back? And have they said how much shipping to nz would be?
