today i fitted my 36t rear sprocket now the chain is the perfect size to run with no tensioner and i still have plenty of adjustment once the chain stretches. after trying a few different fuel tank ideas i decided to cut the wcc tank i have and try make it fit so far its turning out prety good

Hi hsvmick what a trip that would be I did it with a Crumydoor and tandem caravan a few years ago to your part of the world what a trip loved Tazie and wanted to move there but the wife would not go. There is a bloke doing the whole of Oz on a mono bike so prehaps not such a silly idea just not for me I am stufed after half an hour. All the best Keith

P.S. it is good to hear from some Oz people here. there is a forum starting in W.A. for these bikes soon I will keep you infomed if you want just send me a P.M. cheers Keithlaff

Hi Mick I am not alowed to ride big bikes any more ( orders from the wife ) I have had both hips replaced and the right knee I used to have Harlys two evos and a twin cam now it is hot rods. I loved my time in Tasie Ulverstone and Penguin mind you the fish and chip down at Constatution dock are hard to beat. All the best for now Keith

alsong as your not speeding or braking the road rules they leave us alone i usualy get a nod or a wave from them.a friend was riding with his young daughter on the back and was stoped and told to let all his petrol out as it was unsafe wich is understandable the law for pillions on motorcycles is 7yrs and up
