    They actually came with the size down jets to fit if required & after run-in so sayeth the manwell I believe. Good thing too as the little lay down jobbies are Amal carbs. - On a Suzuki!

    Out of interest how much does it cost to get a frame painted or powder coated.

    Gee I dunno, last powdering I got done was a place I sent a lot of work stuff through & went through pretty cheap, but they've closed. My other wet painting is done by a good mate but he isn't taking on anything extra atm.

    PCS (powder coating services) around port road would be the go. Obviously have to think about how to mask it after passivating, don't want threads filled in with powder. Should be info on net about what to do.

    I've had 2 T125's and a T90 in my youth. Awesome machines and I'd love another.
    My parents used to get annoyed with me as I used to fill the house up with 2 stroke smoke if the back door was left open and also the TV used to lose reception due to the non-supressed plug caps

    However, I have my little Uma (YG-1) which I'll have to get restored and back on the road I think.

    Dang Dave, as if I didn't have enough to do with the bucket and the XR and now you're inspiring me to sort Uma out !!

    Yeah I saw that in you gargre (or whatever the KB spelling is).

    Think yourself lucky, I've decided to now finish the 500 with no distractions.

    . . . Although the 50 needs the tail-piece, bar & peg fixed & the 100 the peg.

    The RF has an electrical fault that will require the fairing striped right off so I can get a WOF.

    Then I was promising to sort the dragging clutch out on the GasGas before the next ride in 2 weeks.

    Apparently there is a bunch of housey stuff to do & the wife's car doors are sticking their locks & it needed a WOF last week.

    sigh. . .

    "You have too many projects. Pick one and limit yourself to that until it's done."

    I rode one of these 'stingers' around a mx track at TiTahi bay back in 73 - who knows, it could have been Mervs brothers bike. I admired the styling back then but not really a dirt bike.

    Well two years on & time for an update:


    There is no news.

    I haven't finished the Stinger (or the 500 for that matter). However parts are collected & the only things I really need is the chrome strip for the seat.

    And some time.
