Preparing a road legal FXR150 for Bucket racing

[Ray LeCheminant]

yes look very cool.... let me know if you want to get some foot peg holders made... or have any ideas about replacing them... one on my bike is already broken...

Airport Engineering Services charged me $65.00 to cut two from 12mm alloy. They are in Aintree Avenue , off Rennie Drive in Mangere

Damn that's looking good. Looks like I'll have to repaint mine at some stage to avoid getting made to park the bike out of sight in the pits.
I have a spare set of footpeg hangers in the van that can be loaned out on the grounds that they either come back at the end of the day or if we smash one on one of our bikes. Same goes for standard clip ons.
Still planning to get some hangers drawn and water cut but seem to have no time to get started at the moment.

Oops forgot. Michelles bike with a GN carb on GN jetting is as cold blooded as hell. Needs choke to start and runs like a dog down low until it warms up. I wouldn't start swapping brass until you've run it a few laps.

Yeah, we noticed it's a pig until cold...good thing about the GN250 carb is the choke proximity...easy to get to. If you give it too much handle when it's cold it blows a nice flame...gets around the tire warmer issue

Will give it a fews runs as you say on the Saturday and "bed it in" - make sure all the bolts are nice and tight for the lad

I have put up a website with various photos etc of the build, it's bloody scary how much you can spend on these if you get carried away

[Henk]

Anything costs when you start getting serious about it, I started to add up what bikes had cost us as a hobby once, soon stopped, way too scary.

[Arronduke]

got to agree on that.... one good thing is I have cleaned out alll my bike parts paying for my FXR build....

still quite a long way to go...

Do it yourself with a jigsaw.

[Ray LeCheminant]

They fit up just like the original, you have to create 2 placement holes, either side of the bolt for the peg, to accommodate the pins in the pedal....but works ok.....

[Buckets4Me]

Just one of them.....

if you can lend me an old one or do a drawing I could make some up in my spare time at work

they look easy to do
and the cutter we have could do that no sweat
the drill press will do the reast
all I would strugle with is finding the ally (I might just have to buy some )

Sure thing.....next week at Mt Welly ok?

[Buckets4Me]

yep and I should have something by the one after

[Arronduke]

I would be keen for a set.... I might be able to get the ali for a good price through my work as we seem to get good discounts.
