The Fridge looks good mate. The panniers turned out well. You are all set to ride around the world now.

Fridge ???? That's a washer and a dryer combo ...I always have clean jocks !

Old US army hotboxs $60 each ,add a rattle can of paint . About 35 litres each .They come off in 30 seconds .


I'm all set to do the weekly shopping !

The hotboxes/panniers look great painted.

Thanks ME109(nice handle BTW) Just got back from The Karuah River Rally. Im always keen for a gettogether.

The R65 started life as the PO`s crap attempt at a Cafe` Racer. All black and no style . The tank is an R100 tank. The bike came with a cut down seat, with the R65 cowling attached and most of the subframe exposed. I fabricated a cowling at work along with the side covers to replace the plastic jobs that would fly off anyway if not ziptied. New Emgo pipes($115 a side Bugger Staintune ). Paint was done at work as well as powdercoating. Yes I work in a restorers dream workshop.
Motor was pretty sound to start with, although it needed a new reg/rec, diode board and a timing chain. After 2 rebuilds on the Koni`s I got a pair of YSS shocks for the rear. I still would like a better front end, but havent come up with any fitting ideas yet. Have a new Dyna Brown coil and leads on the way from the states as we speak.
I get to a few rallies about, so if you see the bike come say hey.
Cheers
Craig

Plenty of Ozzies here Craig. Welcome.

Here's a few pages re: our last get together, which was fabulous.

With boxertwinjeff, you, Sibbo and She'llbe we now have a northern chapter! There's the guy in Tweed Heads too!

Craig, I do like your attitude.
I swear that I need to get across the pond before my time is up !

First post, so I thought I would make it on this thread. I first got this back in 1994 and it had a Windjammer fairing on it. I stopped riding it around 2000 or so and took it apart in 2002 and put it back together in 2006-2007. I have neglected it a few years and am ready to get going on it again.
