Hey All

Anyone know a good mechanic in the Illawarra region for older bikes? In particular anyone good with carbies. I have an '85 gsxr 750 that I want to put some kitted carbies on. I have them sitting there ready to go, but I have no idea how to balance carbies etc myself. So if anyone knows a decent bike mechanic down this way, let me know. Or even if you know an exceptional mechanic in Sydney I may get of my arse for the journey.

Cheers All.

I'll second that one. Nudie recomended him a couple of years ago. I've been going there since.

I was in Lake Heights today visiting someone for work.

Half the suburb is nice, the other half is a little to be desired.

Thanks guys. I'll give max power a try. My bro lives in Lake Heights, Personally I think it is a decent area, only problem is that it is surrounded on all sides by dodgy areas. Get a lot of fallout from the steel plant there too.
