Project super-bucket almost complete!

**DELLORTO** · 29th August 2009, 18:10

Done alot of work on the bike lately, my tail section arrivied yesterday thanks to harry {hazzard} which looks great, and is very well made.

Also picked up some cheap 125gp slicks from keith biddle.

all i have to do now is send it off to the painter and fit the slicks.

Now ive got nothing to complain about..

for anyone considering on building a fxr150 its great to fit the tail section.

-max

It looks amazing dude! I'm definately jealous. However, it is too pretty and for a bucket it needs some scratches haha. Good stuff!

Nah race tyres are for woosies. I quite like the metzlers that are on it
I have also got the brakes sorted on the Yamaha 125 so I'm not sure which one I will race next time.
I might have to sort a training day at Waipawa to check which is best.

i can tell you right now that your rx125 will make you ride alot faster because its more powerful and more agressive......just aslong as it dosnt try to put you in hospital like their knowen for.....

plus your not a boy if you dont like true nail biteing power.....

The Yamaha had heaps of power last time, it was just a pity that when I pulled the front brakes on they stayed on.
No one else in the club wants to ride it they all reckon it is dangerous, but whats 4 broken ribs and a collapsed lung, between friends

Nah I will be a bit busy. I am the Clerk of Course for the big track meetings.
But I intend on taking all 3 bikes to rounds 2 & 3 for the open days.
I will spend a fair bit of time on track at those.
I may take 1 or 2 buckets to rounds 1 & 4 so that at lunch time I can "inspect the track".
