Grumph said something about inlet cam being damn near siezed haha.. worn cam chain too.. not sure whatelse could slow it down so much, crappy air filters (we took em off 2 weeks ago at levels..) crap wiring and ignition too.
Spare motors are not quite useable.. one has a melted cylinder and is in bits, the other has a hole in the crank case with a rod poking out.. I was really looking to pull the both to bits and maybe make 1 good one out of the two.. I think there is damage to the casing of the melted head one too.. really need a new crank case and then should have gbox, pistons, barrels and a cyl head and cams to make up a new one.. might need valves and some bits n pieces.. might have a good crank. will look into it...
hehe
Yea we just made 120hp on Harris dyno.. so minus 20.. haha
We are still looking for a nice down hill track to give us the weight advantagewe might be quicker after this build tho!
Always looking and asking around.. nothing popped up. yet.. (edit: actually those motors did pop up for sale, Grumph put me onto the fella that was selling em in ChCh, most of the bits were junk, there was 1 good FZR motor there but the prices were too high etc and the deal never went through on that one. The fully worked FZR/Thunderace motor that Bills bike originally came with from the UK was blown up in style by Speedway grant before the r1 went in. (to my knowledge)
prob the motors sitting in my shed then..

Just looking at a couple of helmets for the sidecar team, they have a funny retaining system though.. its a ratchet strap.. so has a plastic strap with some teeth and a ratchet lock.
MNZ rules say strap/ring only but I've been using a click/buckle one for ages now and has passed all event scrut. Wondered if the ratchet strap would also pass?
Its a mint helmet, a shame they didn't use a normal strap buckle..

I have nearly always used clip or ratchet strap style helmets.
No one has ever had an issue.
LS2 helmets are well priced with a good safety rating, but they don't have the D ring buckle.
Two Wheels or Three = FUN
My AGV has that system and passed scrutineering for the last two years so far. Awesome system too, easy to get on and off and no fiddly adjustment because you can just crank it up to where its tight/comfortable.

Used to be D rings only, now not the case. It changed a year or so back I think
8.2.6 Only helmets with a strap retaining system are permitted.
Personally for a race lid I'm still happier with D rings, had a couple of various seat belt type systems for the road in the past and they have all come undone at least once when I though they were secure.
Stock is best

It was only about a year ago I started using a helmet with d rings, for the last decade I've used the clip type

was trying to reply with quotes but computer is being spastic.
So Drew, the ratchet style with the wee plastic tab with a few teeth on it should be all good?
And Nev, your AGV uses this plastic ratchet style buckle?
I might go ahead n grab the helmets.. I guess if they fail first race meet they can go on trademe.. or I'll use mine on the road

yea in the current rule book still says only d ring.. But I've raced with clip type for last 3/4 years with no queries at inspection. Never had mine unbuckle.. ROOF brand.
yea clip type is good, I like it. These helmets I'm looking at have a plastic ratchet thing.. it has all the safety standard markings its HJC.. should be ok

8.2.6 http://www.mnz.co.nz/docs/rules/2012...r.pdf?sfvrsn=2
doesnt say d-ring, says strap retainer but I assume that to be different from a buckle or ratchet retaining system unless I am mis-interpreting

Yep the AGV has that ratchet strip and am very happy with it

There used to some helmets which didn't have straps, they had some wank flip up bit
http://website.lineone.net/~dave.emerson/gpa/
Even a helmet with bucklet or ratchet is still held on by the strap, that rule doesn't say they cant be used
