Pinned Look what the postman brought today !

Look's like someone is going to make some gasket's.

 

Thanks @kiffsta

 

Major drama the night before sending a sold SPADA from sydney to Adelaide. The bike was being picked up at 7am the next morning. Massive puddle of fuel appeared under the bike. Turned out the fuel pipe between the carbs had chosen that time to fail. Given there was virtually no time to effect a 100% certain repair I fitted my NOS carbs and the problem was resolved. Went searching the internet and found these on Ali express, put in the $330 for sale price, postage and gst and 10 days later they arrived.
Does any one know what the go is with these, they come with a Japanese logo and work amazingly well but for the price there is no way they are made in Japan or under licence?

 

Should be there now?

 

pictures work for me, grtz Jo

 

They don't look like cheap copies. No idea how this happens. Maybe they were made under license and now the contract has expired they can sell them.

 

They look pretty good to me. I suspect the supply might not last forever though. Just until stock runs out.

 

The Carb kit has arrived, thanks LiteTek.

 

fast, affordable, high quality. 3 words not normally used together when buying parts (I usually feel lucky to get 2) litetek.co ftw!

 

No worries

 

What could possibly be in this package. Its so big.

 

Not quit the postman but interstate bike transporter.
1972 Yamaha xs 650 arrived the other day. First time ever sight unseen purchase. Would probably have haggled much much more if I’d seen it in the flesh prior to purchase but no point crying over spilt milk. Motor runs well and gearbox works so mostly positive.

 

Was this what you were hoping for?

 

Bit skinny for my tastes! I prefer a 120/90/18 on the rear

 

What bike ? , all i can see is a hot chick of my dream's that's into bike's.

 

here's some more inspiration.



this is an open checkbook XS a buddy of mine built for a client. it came out pretty well imho.

 

Wow, that’s an amazing job, is that a chrome frame? It’s such a spindly little thing I’d be worried about doing anything to it that may make it weaker. one of the fascinating characteristics of these ancient bone shakers is they vibrate so much at idle the bike literally goes for a walk, usually backwards, until it lodges against a solid, immovable object. Apparently those in the know always park them with the rear wheel up against the gutter at startup/warmup to keep it in place.
