« on: September 23, 2016, 05:35:02 PM »

Guys, does anyone know who sells seat and tank covers from NZ? I bought a cover for my RM500 from Vintage Suzuki and it doesn't fit. Damon from Goldstar repairs tried a cover from Prime8 racing which also didn't fit. He said there's a supplier in unzed whic makes the correct covers

eBay Finds / Husky WR500?

Could be a good project. If the 500 goes better than the water cooled WR400 it would fly.

I came across Ken Andersons email address by chance and sent him a message to see if Naturally Free is available on dvd. To my suprise he said the dvd will be released in 4 weeks. And a new poster has been made as well as the sound track and t-shirt. Can't wait i'll be putting my order in soon as it comes out

The saying still applies for an old bike. 90% rider, 10% bike... Check out the whip at the end. Love it

General Discussion / Seat staple gun

« on: December 29, 2015, 07:19:45 PM »

What sort of staple gun is strong enough to do seat covers? My bunnings job doesn't penetrate the seat so was looking on egay and saw these ones. Would this do the job?
