A New Start

[BrettS]

Thanks John, Yep as much as I hate it my toys are towards the bottom of the budget. Before the trip to Bourke I also bought a classic boat from the same era. Few things on the want list for that too

I think that's a great start  The standard gear is the way to GOOO.. Eddie Is a Great Guy he helped me out with a part . It,s ashame it's all about our budgets! that's why I took so long to get the old girl going...  but she is and now I have to save for a paint Job.. in amongst all the other living expenses. That's a nother good start the seat

Just got of the phone to John and have several options. A straight recover would be $100 so I could refoam myself and get him to cover but then the transport cost can be anywhere from $40-$90.
Another option is using a pattern that I make for him after I refoam the seat he can produce from that. This would be $80 add extra $50 for leather 
The top quality foam that I intend to use will be about $80 as well. Haven't sourced the glue yet?

[BrettS]

Haha G'day Tim

That was quick Bryan, 
I do like that seat. I wonder if I can be a cheap ass and get him to just make me the cover and I still re-foam and fit?
Hmmm, leather

[AussiXS11G]

Bretto, mate
I have had my bars repaired and can now send the originals but need your mailing addy.....PM me
I have also had my seat re-covered .......by John Moorhouse Ergo Seats - as it turns out John's late older brother
used to race XS11's back in the day (I think he was killed on a TZ750 at Bathurst)





Very nice mirrors BTW...

[Tim]

looking good bretts   the big tank and  seat scream japanese  muscle   look out  ,the iconic rims  look right at home 

[BrettS]

Hey Paul, hard to not like the new tank and seat 

I have some of that crossed of the list Jonesy. Well they should be in the mail anyway. I forked out a total of $15.38 for a new set of indicators. I think they are small enough that you won't be able to see how cheap they are 

And $12.89 for a couple of end bar mirrors. Maybe the seller made a mistake with these as they are now listed for over $60

Not sure how the end bar mirror works with the excelorator grip ??

The seat will need recovering. I have been looking into doing this myself. I reckon I can re-foam the seat but without an industrial sewing machine I think this will be a great value solution.

Oh and Bryan has a handle bar for me 

[Jonesy]

Hey Brett
just at a glance, and  maybe on your list already, smaller tail light, lower handle bars and  a bar end mirror stand out as tidy up items

[Jonesy]

No worries, I was probly stuck in wellington with a flat tyre at the time anyway, all good

[XSNT999]

Hi Brett

I have to agree with Jonesy, the bike's looking heaps better already and I'm pleased the repair job from Bourke is still holding up ok.

Cheers

[XSIIE]

OOPs sorry Jonesy,

This was spur of the moment visit with only an hour spent at Bretts,  6 hours up to Parkes,

then back to Orange to pick up my Jack Russell, 1/2 an hour there and 5 hours home.

Next time I come up we'll hook up.
