I want to become a bucketeer

[glice]

There is no racing at Mt Welly this weekend.

They are coming to Taumarunui for racing at the Kart track.

The 2 hour involves having a second rider and you both ride one bike.
You also need to provide someone who can lap score.
There is always someone on the day who needs a rider or a bike.

cool yea if I cant get it ready I'll probly still go along just incase someone needs me. and to watch some racing.

what sort of format is it. practice sat race sun. what times for both days?

[Buckets4Me]

practice and shootout sat
sunday shootout till about 12 1 ish then racing
lemans start (watch the carnage)

thats my aim to get it ready for then. Will be good to have a look at your front end set up, as thats my big problem. the forks are bent in a big way. what is the standard head tube size?

its pretty crap, I think its just an owners manual which has been scanned onto a computer.

go to this page and scroll down a bit till you see the fxr

Yea found that one, just an owners manual, I have found a few that are downloaded using torrents, but I dont fully understand how the hell torrents work or how to use them so have never had much luck.

Hmm not sure on the size to be honsest, all I ever did was have a look at the two front ends and said yea that should go close and have gotten lucky

[Buckets4Me]

Yea thats the best I've found aswell. If I find anything better I'll chuck it on here.
Ha sweet, Yea I hope I can find something soon. the forks are whats giving me the most trouble.

[Slingshot]

The fork tubes are 33mm, not sure what the tripple clamp tube is but I'll measure it tonight and post it.

Depends what I brake and how long it is going to take to fix it the sad thing is there is a fair bit of truth in that statement

really is dependent on the weather and how many minimotos turn up, dont think I have ever been there later than 4pm before

oh ye. I could probly make it sometimes then. I'll just start work early and go hard.
I need to find something to use as a foot peg bracket. what do you use?

[CM2005]

I've had nil trouble with treaded tyres, as they were cheap, I'm still running skinny 18's too. have you got a 2nd rider for the two hour?

Yes, one of the issues with the FXR is the incredably brittle foot peg brackets. I have made up my own out of some steel, my intention was to do this before I broke the factory ones, but due to being a bit slow I failed on that copunt on the weekend just gone, can post up some photos of them if you like.

Alternativly I know one of the guys has made up some CNC brackets, and he got a few more made up at the time that he was taking about flicking on for quite reasnable prices.

The one I got already had a broken one. those photos would be good if its not a hassle. I was going to try make up some steel ones but dont have access to anything to do it with. I had an idea to use some stiff plywood, but not sure if will be allowed. I figured it would be good, cos its cheap, and wouldnt hurt the track, and you could keep heaps of spares.
