Very sexy are these new additions to the 66 parts bin. Might put them on all the builds?
Luxury fit on the R80 getting a face lift.
They are smaller enough to be used as combined header/mufflers on smaller Honda bikes.
Even the DR will get a couple for good measure.
This is one way to clean up your T100. Bobbed guards, nostalgic bars, shrink that seat and take off the orange spot lights. Oh... and add a go anywhere set of enduro rubber to let everyone know you mean business. Next step, 12" shorty pipes so they hear you coming.
We came, we saw we went home with tails between legs. This was our VMX outing at Narrogin on our transformed CZ. To modify this bike was an unknown and we were very apprehensive to take an honest enduro bike and set it up for motocross. So the little girl was taken down sympathetically and parts neatly packed away. On went the the knobbies, shocks off the CB350 race bike, quick action throttle, new seat, conversion to premix, new carby, and a rewire of the ignition directly to a Motocell battery. All was sweet except the front end bottomed out and there is not enough power to blow the froth off your flat white. Also I had forgotten how to handle right handers, one in particular. Anyway back to the drawing board and we put in new front springs yesterday, the barrels are getting a good port and polish, new rings and maybe a larger rear sprocket and tuned expansion chamber. Then we are ready to rock for the next event, maybe with an outstanding 25hp, fingers crossed. We are looking for an XL 350 pre '75 if anyone has one as this is probably far more appropriate.
(yes we missed out on the 66 plate, still choosing ours)
We have a new shipment of Churchill Gloves from the States in sizes S to XXL. Deer skin gloves are just sooo soft you will want to wear them around the house. You will be able to purchase via our online shop soon or visit the North Freo garage and get some workshop smell up your nostrils. Priced from $95 to $115.
To say it's been a busy few weeks in the garage is an understatement. But we can start showing off the fruits of our labour. This is a quick pic of Luis's CB 400N twin we have just finished. Put on a few beers last night to celebrate the occasion. More details to follow.
Saturday was busy as usual. Catching up on stuff, tore down the CZ for the VMX, took some pics, had a few visitors, drank some beer, hid the pistons from Scotee :), Louis took some snaps of his build, Tom showed a mate his build, and then closed the doors and went home. All good.
This is the second instalment to the happenings at Wheels and Waves. All good clean honest fun.

We took the scenic drive to Boddington to have a peak at the Vintage Motocross yesterday. All pre '75 bikes in grades A, B and C hammering to out do each other. Very spirited riding indeed. Rumour has there may be a team 66 soon.
This looks like cracking good fun.
( imagine trying to do such a thing at a club level in Nanny Land!!!! )
