To go on club rides that are not counted as part of the 60 days you need to be a member of the relevant clubs so a dedicated MC club is better, like Ulysses or VJMC then any meetings or rides they have are free days.

Thanks for the information Christian I think I am on the right track now.
The Shoalhaven Historic Vehicle Club seems to tick all the motorcycle/vehicle boxes I was looking for.
I have contacted them and am waiting on the next steps going forward.
Cheers

Does anyone know anything about club rego for a motorcycle in NSW?
What is involved etc?
Any info or experience would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

You need to be a member of an affiliated club like Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club or Ulysses to start with. There are lists on the RMS website also all the forms and rules etc. All up quite an easy process feel free to call me.

Please refer to Yamaha Shaft Drive Service Manual [1J7-28197-19] page 39 describes where to find the scribed original drive shim thickness for both the middle and final drive cases.
Scribed number towards engine is for the Final Gear Case Drive Pinion Side shim.
Scribed number towards the rear wheel axle is for the Final Gear Case Ring Gear Side shim.
If I could find a my PDF file of this manual I could try to attach it if that would be helpful?

Q and A / Re: Exhaust baffle loose.

Hi Owen why not just get a couple or a set spun up at a machine shop or maybe give Tarn Mott (down my way) a call or message him.
Tarn's user name on the forum is Primate.
That would be better than chopping up a set of pipes.
Hmmm sounds like something I could attempt on my little lathe maybe....

 

Hi,
I was going to take the angle grinder to the exhaust to retrieve the collar rings, but now feel a bit guilty at attacking the 40+ year old headers... However, if anybody in SEQ wants the original headers for the price of two exhaust collar rings, let me know in the next day or so.

OEM Headers are double walled and sought after. There are exhaust collars available on Ebay.
I believe these are the same as for the xs1100.

You could sell your old system to someone with good welding skills who is  prepared to patch them for reuse.
Always good to recycle these parts and pick up a few dollars on Ebay at the same time.
