    Hey all,

    Thought I'd stop lurking and sign up.

    Getting geared up for the Tassie lites racing class that is gaining some momentum down here this year. I'm sure there is plenty I can learn from here. :)

    Originally bought it for $600. Looked like this...
    [​IMG]




    Sat in my shed for a while unused and unloved, untill I and a group of mates decided to get together and turn it into this....
    [​IMG]

    Things were good for about a year, until the fleshy meatbag decided to push the little bike further than the stock suspension & rubbish tyres wanted to go...

    [​IMG]
    This was the pretty side :p

    [​IMG]

    So it's back to being a project bike.
    I'm madly trying to get it back together before the start of the lites series on the 8th of feb.

    Got a bit of work to do before then.

    Will be back and with more improvements!!

    Just fitted an R6 rear shock and have some .85kg/mm springs to go in the front!
    Also have some fiberglass fairings on the way to replace the cheap chinese set that disintegrated on impact.

    Thanks dude,

    I fitted some racetech springs tonight! Wow what a difference, can't wait to get a chance to test them! No more bottoming out under brakes for me!

    Thanks for all the welcomes too :)

    Yay more Tassie Lites! You'll probably run into a black/silver ZXR down there my mate runs
    Great looking fizzer, hopefully she comes back to life in time!

    looking good mate! get a project thread on the go!

    must say i love the quote "Things were good for about a year, until the fleshy meatbag decided to push the little bike further than the stock suspension & rubbish tyres wanted to go..."

    i know that feeling......but its all fun and games!
