    Safe r brakes in Christchurch, I would think there would be someone similar in Welly

    Otherwise Venhill online
    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    Melbar Engineering in Taita or Contour Brakes in Birch Street, Waterloo - if they're still there.

    I bought cable and bits to make a clutch cable from Macs Yamaha in Upper Hutt, he had a pretty good range but said not many people make their own any more. Another lost art.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    There is a guy a few hundred metres from where I live has a business repairing automotive instruments, both the old kind and the electrickery type. I did note the presence of a large roll of speedo cable in his workshop.

    Bike shop can get anything in but used both melbar for complete and venhil for bits before.
    Have a 76a on the workbench at present.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
