Quick action throttle
Tuned exhaust.. on order from a secret location in the deep south

Still lots to do...

I like it,....it's properly prepared and it really looks the part........

[aircooled]

Nice, should stop well with the twin disc front end.

its good to see all these nice looking f4 bikes coming along!

[Arronduke]

Motor is in and its starting to take shape...

[Arronduke]

And... oh no...


the wife went ape shit.



Was watching this on trade me this morning. i was just watching... and some how purchased it.

1999
7000km
no foot pegs
has not run for some time

and the best bit...$685

Now what am i going to do with it?
This will slow down the FXR build as all my funds are gone... but I have a CG150... that will be sold soon.

You were just watching????????? I was just watching you bidding the hell outta it (got really tempted to put in a bid, but didn't want to be stuck with it) hahaha
You saw who asked the initial question - not sure what was up with the email, but I tried to send an email as well, with nada result (bounce).
Glad it actually existed, we were a bit concerned about that.
Oh, get the wife into bikes, Henk did and now when he plays in the garage, I just roll my eyes and watch something on TV (Masterchef seems to be good to get him out working on my bike hahaha)

[Henk]

Best thing you can do now is buy the wife some leathers and convince her buckets are a family outing (tui moment maybe?)
Going to be more and more multi bike teams by the looks of it. Or try and convince her that you need a dry bike wet bike setup. That worked well on the weekend.

[gatch]

What is the purpose of the additional linkage on the gear shifter ?

[TZ350]

That quick shifter looks mean, looking forward to hearing how it works out................

[Henk]

It's the sensor for his flash ignition that will kill the spark when he changes so he doesn't have to drop the throttle and can do full noise shifts. It's also an expensive lump of kit hanging in the breeze to get smashed when we run him onto the grass through the sweeper.

Yep that would be me, waited a week to be be replied to / or rung and nothing,
Seems that they had something to hide.
Will be keen to see how good/bad this bike turns out to be, only 7000kms and sitting around, I am interested to find out more.

This is Aaron we are talking about, he has a history, I'm planning on waiting three months for him to get it going and bolt the missing parts on, he'll then get bored with it and sell it for half what he paid. Or so Grant has led me to believe.

[Arronduke]

yes time will tell.

The dude emailed me and seemd surprised in the interest for the bike.

Henk... this bike is not allowed to touch grass!!!! or you could make me cry.!

But wet and dry bike... yes.. seems like a good idea.
Hope to sell the maggot for $600... looks shit but it has a good motor which cost heaps...!

Oh and dont forget the the igntec igniotion also has 2 rev limiters... second is activated by the clutch switch for launch control.. set it at 9000rpm and hold the throttle wide open for starts...



Oh and I go to bucket racing to get away from the wife...!

[Arronduke]

Oh and just to add... Dutchee.... as far as the wife knows I just placed ONE bid and won it..imagine that!!!

Now when she comes to watch... NO talking to her....
