    GS125 Bucket flywheels.

    I have several spare fly wheels for the bucket and I'm thinking about getting one of them skimmed down a bit. I'd like to run constant loss ignition but apparently don't have the right electrics.

    So, some of them have 3 larger magnets on the inside, some have 6(?) smaller ones.

    Whats the difference? are they for different versions of the charging system or doesn't it really matter. Do I need to pull the one off the bike and make sure I get one the same design shaved?

    should be able to run constant loss as a guy down here was and a guy in Nelson is as well,I'll find out how they did it,my GN has no rotor at all.

    That would be cool, I've been told you need a later electric start model to do it.

    Mine still has the fly wheel etc but has all battery wiring etc removed.

    Have you painted or even cleaned that thing yet?
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I've been out of town at weddings and things so no, mumble, mumble, excuse, excuse.

    I haven't even got the exhaust bracket welded back up as I don't really have the place to work on it at present.
    The landlord made some space in the garage the weekend before last and I'm hoping to move a lot of stuff from the lockup to the house this weekend where it's easier to access and do things in the evening.
    Plus not having to pay $45/week for the lockup means I might actually have some money to spend on it.

    Once the bike is at the house I need to pull the exhaust off and take it somewhere to get re welded, rejet the carb, find where to buy crash sliders, get them and put them on for Kaitoke, clean it & paint it.

    I'd like to but It's going to depend on how much work is involved as I don't have tools to cut & drill it etc.

    Can anyone tell me where to get it from in wellington?

    Grayely or Gravue(sp) plastic near supercheap on the old hutt road (stone throw from motomart) will do off cuts.

    Used skateboard wheels make good crash bungs.
