Throwback Thursday.
Here's my Suzuki TL1000S custom called " Katipo " I built for the 2018 Brighton Bike Show before moving back to NZ.
Frame off custom rebuild.
Sold at the show in less than an hour, fantastic bike
I used a titanium 3 stage paint, super trick for it's time.
Triumph Thruxton front screen and GPS gauge cluster, custom made seat unit, clear clutch cover, full rewire, custom loom.
* I just love the line from screen, along the tank to the seat hump 😲
Anyone can do this, start small, learn the techniques and just keep applying them.

Use a Dremel to remove casting flash from E2 race carb manifolds and increase your horse power.

* Leave the finish inside rough , not polished to increase turbulence for the atomised fuel.
It's just science folks, it works 😎👍

Thank you all for your orders and support it is deeply appreciated and humbling.
Next lot of Coleman's B200RSV out for delivery.
Even as far away as the Chatham Islands, very jealous of that one.
How cool would it be to ride around that island on one of these 😲👍

Took a moment from the bikes to attend Maguire's cars and coffee @. Auckland ASB showgrounds last Sunday.
800 cars turned up , always a pleasure to see folks pride and joy, regardless of make or model.
I drove my 1994 GMC Pickup K1500 which I traded for an old Ford Tickford Ute I was restoring.
Work in progress

I literally knew nothing about V8 pushrod engines but through friends and YouTube videos managed to get the truck to a daily driving state.

*Fully rebuild a set of cracked heads.

It's a good time if you have never done it before.
Run a thread chaser/ cleaner down your manifold or exhaust bolt holes.
Replace the bolts with new ones, add some anti seize.
Inspect the gasket.
So many heat cycles, it's just a matter of time before those bolts snap off and that's a job you really don't want to have to deal with ......😎
