Many thanks to David aka F5 Dave for the nice petrol cap. It'll polish up well.

I'm livin' the dream.
Bike looks good but wouldn't mind a better shot of the bench. Got a hankering for something to put a 500 Triumph on for a full strip and tart up.
Looks quite tall. How'd you get that bike bike up there? Ramp or grunt it up.
Ginge
Looks great. Feeling guilty now but the 500 is back on the bench. 125 next.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
The (standard bike) table I'm using was bought new on TradeMe for $475 pick up in Christchurch. I guess I got what I paid for, though. It's a standard table and rated for weight right up to Harley Davidson size. But, a friend bought the same table and when he put his Kawasaki Z1 up on it he said it rocked around and wasn't stable. Too much play in all the linkages etc. So if you get a table it would probably pay to buy a more expensive one. The one I have is OK for my Maverick and my Stinger but that's about all.

Ta. Might just knock one together out of timber. $475 gets a fair few sticks and screws.

I bought mine from a mate. Reclamed wood and covered with some galv sheet.
Yes it doesn't collapse but a ramp works.

Golly, a green one just went on TardMe for $4.5k. But it was a kit set with missing or wrong bits and no crank work/old seals.
Sheesh.

Mine's a Topmaq cheapie. But the first thing I did was put a crossbeam on the front - 25X25 thick wall tube - with hook points for tie downs.
No way was I using the front wheel clamp that came with it.. Rear castor carrying arms can be extended for better support too.
It's a tad short for some bikes but stable enough for big posties.
I just got given the low pipe version of this kind of, he backed out of the deal a bit but I will hassle him more
She's now up and running. I'm waiting on a flasher relay to arrive and also approval from NZTA for Alternative Documents. I've got the OK from NZTA to use the old black and silver historic plate. I'll post up some more pictures when she's all done and dusted.

Top job indeed

Looks good, well done. Not sure I ever saw one back in the 70's, but they look pretty cool.
