Try Pete Sales at Total Motorcycles, 06-3296868. He has gone on to other things and his buckets are for sale. He wants quite a bit for them(in bucket terms) but they are absolute top notch buckets with nothing to do to them.

Bucket racing rocks, done it & enjoyed it, very close racing with lots of rider & fairings bashing into each other & bloody cheap. Speeds not insane - so damage control for rider & bike is pretty moderate usually....

Sorry dont know if anyone runs bucket meets in the manawatu, last time I did some bucket stuff was at the 2hour "bucket endurance race" in Auckland a couple of years back. Great fun.

hi there wanting to try to build and race a bucket at Mt Wellington

i could do with some advice on picking a bike was thinking of a 50cc 2 stroke
but unsure you can have 100cc 2stroke ? is that a different class or is there only one class ?

Any pointers would be helpfull not really planing on winning anything. just going for a slow blast and tinkering on the bike.

Have a look here for anything to do with bucket racing in NZ, and there are 2 classes, F4 and F5
http://buckets.nzsbf.co.nz/

F4 is the main class of buckets (at least it seems to be the most popular class) and to ride in that the limits of the bike are: 150 4 stroke and 125 2stroke (limited: no carbs bigger than 24mm and must be aircoooled bikes). e.g. FXR150s are ok to race in F4
F5 is the lower cc'd class, cant remember the spec off hand.

Have a read of the website for more info. There is a huge group of racers down here in chch, and we run the Battle of the buckets in sept... big bucket meet with an endurance race chucked in for good measure.

Good luck in getting a bike to race, It really is HEAPS of fun!!
