Do you only do pipes or can you mod subframes (steel) mount bits and bobs sort of general streetfighter shit?

Well without blowing out my own arse!!!
I am fully coded to Lloyds standard in Mig,Tig welding in steel stainless and aluminium, I have been a sheetmetal worker for over 20 years, so yes basically i could make any fin ...i have been involved with loads of streetfighters, cutting extending shortening steel and ali frames, i have designed and made frames, check out the pics on my site , i am redesigning the site specifically for australia.... www.sidekickperformance.com the gp pipes are on there, well one is, but wait till i do the new one... totally different, believe me...
and as for the headers, yes check out the VMAX i made pipes that came out around the engine, i have made from everything from 1920s indians, to monkey bikes, BUT..... I will need to source a mandrel tube bender before i enter into headers... but it is really a necessity.... hope that helps....

Congratulations and welcome to Adelaide, it’s a fine place to live. Full of fucking pommies though most of them are ex met fuzz!!!! What part of SA are you thinking about settling in? We are in the south of Adelaide.

You will need to get your ticket as Australia has it’s own code for welders, easy enough to do though. I know a good fab shop that could use some help also. Get in touch once you’re here.

Yep, hope your move goes well. Looks like we'll have to have a welcome piss-up (night of drinking lol).
And if you need a blues harp player with a bit of singing ability . . . . . . . .

The lad's I ride with are getting pretty sick of tickets for aftermarket pipes,
Not talking around the city, more like 100/200k's up into the mountains.
I see more and more returning to stock pipes or putting baffles in and getting the noise tested and certified.

Recently seen tickets for illegal pipes, tinted rear light,
non-folding rear-sets, slightly shorter rear guard and a few other defects. One guy got his 2nd ticket for the same offence lost his bike for a couple of days, and had a fine, points, and a towies bill. Next time he wont get it back.

Might be worth looking at getting any pipes db-tested or certified.
I know there has been one recent court case in Qld that several bikers fought together, and there will may be another soon.
There are new law's coming in, in the new year concerning shop's selling and fitting their after market pipes up here to.

Just a thought.

Dave take it easy on the roads and try not to get impatient witht he way the locals drive, I bet you get a little frustrated by it to begin with just take it easy.
Me I just couldnt hack the slow pass at which the locals drive thier cars.
Enjoy yourself and hope you settle in well.



Hey wayne I just put your name through the sloganiser on revkens signature box.

It came up with this

«geesexar - Your personal entertainer.» remember one of the piss ups at d'a rasta bar 'whats a honda four' and a mop :D:D:D:D
