    Put a cheapo bobber seat on it and resell as a desirable project on Trademe. It would sell, look, there are already heaps like it on there so they must be sought after?

    It's pronounced. "Sort after". By everyone selling those bits of shit.
    I've had to stop correcting them, I only have so much time.

    So. . . not a wheelie bin suicide plunge down Baldwin street in close embrace?


    I'm not disappointed so much as, - sniff - , it would have been nice to have been asked.

    Its a shame as i liked the look of the boxy Z1000 tank.
    Someone was selling a dunstall kit for a Gt380 a while back looked better than that.

    I had a mate with a Dunstall Honda 750 taken out to 900. We went to pick it up and was a lurid purple and gold trimming 70s style.

    Another bought a 500 version.

    The whole concept was, take the baddest bike of the time (well past by the time we got our hands on it) and add 15kg of chop sprayed bodywork on it so the whole rider is higher and bike top heavy. Then add finest English quality clipons and rearsets (woeful) with Dunstall punched on them to make a bike worse than you started with. But it did look kinda 70s cool.

    I recall, back in the day, Dunstall getting flak over their 'Finest English quality clipons' parting company with the clamps when under use.
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    It was the rearsets that left the impression of a depressed pom in a freezing shed with a worn out drill press and 18 times sharpened drill stubs trying to get through to opening time at some dreary pub .

    At least the wheels. This is for those who want to go somewhere twice and then sell it as an antique.

    There's a lot of money to fix all this in chrome and . . . Well, everything. For a farm bike.

    Would have been a fine late 80s bucket. Unless you're a Steadman with an RG400 barrel and too much time/talent on your hands.
