Garage time: What are U doing now?

And the first thing to go in the new shed will be one of these in mint condition with a cracked head. FOR FREE.

I've been doing quite a bit of fabrication in the garage.

The sidecar needed some work. Removed the brake master and bias adjustment system and moved it from one side to the other...And all the associated other works that go with that.

Oh, and we completely rebuilt the front end.

So my current "garage" project gets banished to the shelter of tarps (serves it right really for not being a bike) and is transported to the garage piece by piece. I am at the beginning stages of a Land Rover rebuild

Oh which model? I had a series 2a radio LWB that I chucked a 250 falcon in and a series 2a Skippy.

Very cool site thanks...

Going to need a new seat for my GSX100EZ.

Got my Kat back after having an exhaust fitted.
Sorry pictures are shit but I am pleased.

Also polished the GSXR's exhaust the other night.

Looks like I like exhausts at the moment.

Holly shit this is cool.
That's hard core.

Oh and to add... all the work on the Kat was for the cold kiwi and the bastards cancelled it.

Utter bastards.

Cheers man. On the initial build (the weird front end with single shock mounted to A rocker), we tried to keep it light and maintain rigidity. We failed, it bent 12mm aluminium plate like it was cardboard. So the twin shock front end is quite a bit more industrial.

I worked for a while in a place that rebuilt them to new standard in Henderson. They are great machines.

True that! I love the old girl which is why I want to at the very least double her life.
She's a beast almost unstoppable as a machine & I just love the way they look

Here's a before photo from a few years ago
