Dubbo Motorcycle Wreckers

Thanks Jonesy, I have the daughters birthday this weekend, I was thinking I could sneak over early Saturday morning but I figure by the time I get home it will be a tad late. At this point I will say don't hold of any other plans and if I miss out then that is my bad luck
I will get onto this valve clearance thing again if I can solve some of that with the shims I now have I will lift the lid on the motor again in the next day or two. Otherwise I will have to order some more shims.
Thanks again for the kind offer

Maybe this w/end Brett?
Bring that spare set of carbies with you and I'll go through the set up on them so you can do your own that are on the bike at your leisure

We all love a wreckers and I have been keen to take a ride over to Dubbo Motorcycle wreckers and have a look around for any parts I can use. Not necessarily Original parts but things like indicators headlights maybe handlebars or a seat that I could modify to suit. Although I kinda like the seat on mine that seems different to the norm already?
I thought I better call ahead to gauge how willing the owner will be to me wandering around seeing what is on offer.
the Guy I talked to (I think the owner?) Dave said he had three XS1100  also one of those rd 250's 
He stated they are in his personal collection so i guess that means I won't see them when I get there  Sounds like he is quoting retail price on what they are worth 
Of Course I mentioned how you are all such a great bunch, I did not get around to mentioning the Rally but I will as well as take a forum invite 
So yes think I will head over for a drive in the next few days, or maybe I should head over to Jonesy's and get some help to tune the bike in better first?
I mentioned the fuel usage to Dave and he suggested it could be needle and seat settings or float settings and I suddenly remembered that there is a heap of tuning on the carbies that I have not even checked yet. Might have to go back review all that stuff and see if I can get my head around it myself first 
If some one could point me to an explanation of setting the needle heights, I believe I know how to adjust float levels just need to make up one of Steptoes tube contraptions.
