    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey mate,

I don't know Andy but I would like to, that build is something else. Any idea if he is in southern tas or northern?

I’m really not sure. I made an assumption that he’s from near Richmond, in southern TAS from this video, or maybe that’s just where the Sausage Tour started. I don’t remember his username here, which would have an email attached to it, possibly. Maybe try contacting him through his channel, even if it’s just by making a comment on a most recent video. Maybe he’ll respond. I seem to watch all his videos, even working on bikes I know I’ll never own.
 
New paint work (pastel blue)

New paint work (pastel blue)

Hello fellow enthusiasts I decided to re-paint the bike and wrap the pipes, what do you all think of the new colour and pipes?

Cheers, Jonathon.

I've wrapped the same sequential indicators/daylight running light to both the front forks and the rear shocks.

Thanks mate, I still can't work this forum out when it comes to photo's 🤦
 
Seeing as you asked for opinions....like the colour but i think it needs some stripes/decal/badging to break up the mass.
 
The old school Suzuki tank emblems with the wings on both sides of the factory "S" would look cool on that tank.

It's executed well, but anybody living near you must hate you.

Believe it or not it's not all that load I cut up the original pipes and made some baffles out of them to weld in the end of these pipes it's not quite by any means but not stupidly loud either.
 
Some decals and pin stripes...
