Yea its cheating i dont care:laugh:Will it work on a set of cans/is it easy enough to do yourself/if not who does it here in NZ?if it will work it would seem a cheap way to tidy up a set of old cans and at least they wont fall to bits as ive been advised a recent idea would.

they should send you the 2 fibre sleaves or repack and rebuild yours if you send them to them.


168 Eastern Hutt Rd
Lower Hutt

They repaired a second yoshi header,made custom midpipes to adapt a can they had made for me a year earlier and worked everything around new race rearsets I adapted from GSXR1000 k7 onto 1989 FZR1000 post classic.Very good workmanship.They even moved my oil cooler forward when they thought it was to close to headers.Nice prices also.

Cycleworks has closed down. Damon still works a bit from home however. Somewhere in the Akatas on the main road.

Cheers guys,will take the cans to bits when they turn up and repack if necessary,weld up the split in link and give it all a polish up.Could just paint the cans in a satin black or similar i guess.

Was thinking the same as Mossy.. just didn't vocalize it.

Very impressed with some of the stuff you've done, and was quite interested in the GSXR front fork swap you did.

Cheers.I enjoy having something a little bit different is all.Ive had this thing for a decade and still enjoy owning it,dont ride as much as i used to when younger so buying a new bike seems pointless,far better to tinker with this old girl.Each to there own eh.

I dunno mate, where does it say ya can only change stuff once?

I'm thinking those funky....er, I mean ugly....disgusting, eyeball meltingly ugly, forged Carrozerria's don't do that beast justice. Time ya upgraded to some BST's or such like and sent those gorgeous, I mean shitty, very very shitty, forged rims to a less populated area to preserve the delicate eyesight of the young, elderly and infirm. I happen to live in such a place and and am willing to pay the shipping costs to remove the risk to public health. It's the least I can do.......

Get the ear plugs ready mate, you're about to cop it from my missus too! You've shamed me into finally ordering some R1 forks/brakes for the ol' TLR, to suit the early R1 triples and old Marchesini's I've had lying around. I've still gotta sort out how to adapt the rear but the project is officially underway.........and the "robust discussions" won't be far behind, lol.

Have read that vinyl wrap is easy to do, I'm planning on wrapping my bike just to see if I can do it.
I've considered doing the whole thing in carbon wrap, but I think it'll look wank.


Then again, I like wank.
