I am in Wagga. About 500km from Sydney.

Decided to do all the work myself and currently looking at purchasing in the US and shipping to AUS. Works out so much cheaper from the places i have looked at so far.

Any places people can recommend?

 

Yeah good call everything is so much cheaper in the USA,
Next time i come down to the HENTY field days i should bring my bike and go for a ride haha.

 

If you're wanting OEM parts, I usually use Cheapcycleparts.com They have good prices on OEM stuff. If you're really worried about the valves, do a leakdown test (someone may have already suggested this, don't remember) If you're intake valves are bad, you can hear air escaping back through the carbs. If it's exhaust valves worn, you can hear the air by sticking your ear up to your endpipe. Even then, it still may not mean they need replacing, just a good 3 angle valve job would probably do it. If it was me, and bike was running fine, I wouldn't worry about them.

 

Cheapcycleparts.com couldnt ship to AUS.


Ended up going Babbitts in the end. They were a little more expensive but could post to AUS.

Hope they are fairly prompt with the delivery as organised mechanic for 2 weekends time to help (family so free). Figure with him helping should be able to knock work over in a day.

Will put a part list up shortly for what i am replacing/adding to the bike.

 

Ride sounds like a plan.

Will be able to look at your bike and see what mine should be like :P

 

english please....dont forget som of us are from america and are too lazy to convert km's to miles
