Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Thanks for the PM Gaz, just got back from fishing
That's a nice set of wheels! I've run into a snag with the Scimitar - my wife isn't sure whether she likes it now. Might have to do a bit more thinking. No car photos to show you but a couple from the fishing trip - the boss and a shot in the mussel farm off Coromandel. We got 7 keeper snapper which was fine for a morning's work in beautiful weather
Did some digging to find you an airbox.
Came up short sorry

Little update on the wee thing
I bought the bits and bobs to do the top end, found someone else has been in there, cocked plenty up and the crank seals were starting to leak.
The fuel bowls were warped to heck, so I machined them flat in the mill.
One headgasket was in backwards
The head was bent more than Elton John, so I sorted that too.
Base gaskets were leaking
The ring gaps were wrong, bores have suffered because of that and the rings are rooted from the ends butting
So a full tear down and all the bits ordered for the bottom end now
I found one of the crank bearings installed incorrectly with the alignment dowel broached in to the casing
Found the remains of a thrust washer/shim in the crank case that likely fell out during last assembly and went for a wander through the gearset
Poor little bike! Nonetheless, once I have the bearings and seals to rebuild the crank, it will be as happy as ever.
You know what I like about people? Very fuking little much of the time. Well, when it involves mechanical things.

No it's worthless. You can't fix them.
As an aside.
What is his number? I'll break it to him. Make his problem go away.
I'm good like that.

Ohh golly.
Fit quite well in an RGV frame.

I believe NS 250R frames of the same years are identical. Check that out.
Failing that, I have had an alloy frame repaired in Otahuhu years ago. I think they welded the BSL frame. They were around huia/station rd area.
