Hi fellow 'fighters. My name's Trev and I'm from Murray Bridge, SA. Currently I have a couple of iron horses in the stable, but they are both ongoing projects for the moment. I haven't had a ride for 2months and it's killing me!
I'm not really into holding hands, hate walks on the beach but sunsets are okay if I'm riding.:D
I'm a member of Custom Fighters (Kaos) and have come across this site a few times but never thought to join up.

Anyway, on with the pics I guess...

Latest aquisition as I picked her up, a 1982 GPZ750:

She pretty much sits the same except I added an Acewell:

and gave her an oil/filter/sparkplug change. Still have to do the air filter and valve adjustment though.

My other ride is a 1998 GPX250. As I got her:

And as she sits now:

Both together:

I went to register her a few weeks back and noticed a rather large coolant leak from the pump...so now I currently don't have anything to ride and a severe lack of funds for them both...

I also have a 1986 NSR250 (MC16) that is now in pieces:

I pulled it down to after stacking it with the intention of 'fightering it, but ran into the problem of lack of new parts for this model. One day she will rise from the cobwebs.....

Anyway, think that covers it. That is all.....

Thanks for the welcome fellas.
Hope to start a thread for both the bikes in the coming weeks, as well as a thread on the projects I'm currently working on, which is a couple of headlight masks and a full length rear hugger to get past those pesky ADR's. Also looking at making some badges for the GPZ to replace the "KAWASAKI" ones on there with "KAOSAKI"...

Thanks everyone. I need to get one of the bikes on the road this fortnight. I think I'll reg the 250 and fix the leak as it's cheaper/easier...

Second mask looks like it's designed to take out pedestian's eyes/knees depending on how slow/pissed they are.

Nice work and welcome Trev

Thanks again fellas.
Yeah Sth Aust rocks:D
Sadly I've only seen a couple of 'fighters up here in M.Bridge. I've only seen one other a few times on a VT250 and the other was a CBR600 but I don't think that was a local....
