Swapping to a Noco NLP14 was the best thing ive done to the bike..

Its a crisp 9°C by the way

Drag bars will be swapped to either hi tracker bars or Biltwell moto bars, they will be delivered soon i hope.

The speedo is a yellow face analogue unit

4 inch risers

Scuffed and chopped stock front fender

Vance & Hines Short shots with heat shielding removed and titanium header wrap

Dyno and tuned with a hypercharger that might be the only one in the world thats done perfectly lol

All plastic thrown in the bin, cylinder head covers, battery box, tool box, crankcase case cover etc

Crankcase breather relocated

Norco nlp14 lithium battery strapped onto some random triangle tray I found

Some stickers because why not

Stedi rear indicators that i cant get to work so I just point where Im turning lol

Pirelli Night Dragons gt tyres, front tyre is being swapped with a Motoz Tractionator GPS 50/50 offroad tyre and the rear will be a 17" Bridgestone battle ax

Random gold pegs with a 4inch extension

Dont remember where i got the seat or rear fender

Headlight is a bates dual bulb amber glass off ebay

Avon something sleeves wrapped with self-adhesive silicone tape

Frisco/peanut tank with a nifty fuel gauge saying fun at the top and not fun when empty

I painted some of the bolts if I could be bothered and used aluminium plugs on others

Thank you if you made it this far, im putting the bike on the weighbridge at work tomorrow to see how much weight the bike lost

All I need now is the 17" x 3.5" custom rear rim so i can put some knobby tyres on and the bikes finished.

Currently looking for a virago or ill build a shovelhead

The Shelham Mark 2 is a historically significant Japanese-made combat knife commissioned by the Australian importer Sheldon & Hammond during the 1980s. It served as a highly accurate, affordable alternative to the premium American Gerber Mark II

We did it again, Aussies discovered another new spider with an awesome hunting method to specifically target big ass green tree ants..

I rebuilt my front caliper today and when i opened up the master cylinder there was ANTS

HOW?

Have any of you installed a dynatek 3000???

Watched a few videos on the tube and they rated them and said there was more power etc etc

Actually surprised at how fast i got a sweet patina..

Wet tank, rubbed some sea salt over it, left that for 10 mins and then splashed cleaning vinegar over it all, rubbed more salt in and added a lil more water... went inside for 20 minutes and came back to exactly what I was after..

Its a lil cold where I live at so when it warms up in a day or two im doing a 2K satin clear coat followed by a light dusting of matte black paint with details around the filler rim, fuel gauge and around the rim at the bottom

So much darn wiring on these bikes... does anyone know if even half of it is necessary before the builds done??

I deleted the key ignition/buttons on right side to start it. Now its got a nifty on and off toggle which ill be hiding under the tank tomorrow..

Bikes running with no speedo so that's a bunch of wires to delete, I will need to find a work around for the N light that's on the OEM speedo showing its in neutral because I cant start the bike if its in N and it ticks and draws power if in N..

That headlight is also coming off so I can install a 4.5inch bates.

Next install on the bike is the single carb conversion so im sure another bunch of wires can go too.

Im installing a SSB powersport ultralite tomorrow and ill be shortening and replacing most of the wires from the old setup

The battery is going into a thermal shielded box that ill tucked directly behind the motor

I ordered a peanut tank online a few months ago which never came and I finally got my money back.. suggestions on which online store should I order from?

Previous order was ebay, stainless steel 3.5 gallon..

The poor man's 1580.. im in Australia and the 1580 will set me back about 800 dollarydoos but the WLtoys 16800 only cost me 349 dollarydoos. The undercarriage inc. Tracks, track wheels etc are metal, the bucket, H connector and dog bones are also metal. The rest is plastic which im ok with because its still a heavy lil bastard, I dont even feel the need to fill its guts with lead fishing weights.

It doesn't curl in very far on the dipper arm or bucket because of the pesky limit switches, so im going to get the dremel out and change that...

Digs through sandstone just fine, picks up rocks the size of apples, but it isn't super fast at digging or tracking too and fro, but hey we didn't buy rc construction equipment to set youtube speed records did we.

Another bonus is that it matches one of the smaller diggers I operate at work which is a CAT 22 I think.

Next im gonna look for a 1/14 scale cat 740 articulated dumper which i also thunder around in.

Keep digging lil holes and moving lil piles of dirt everyone 🫡
