Definitely change the color!
Not as big here as they were in the UK but these bikes came with a built in Awesome Generator so they will never run out.
Lots of parts available on UK auction site etc plus alot of shops that specialise in them over there.
Pete Gibson ( founder of Allspeed exhausts ) is a specialist in exhausts for these machines and he has now moved over here to OZ. Find him through Nobby at Hyside trading www.hyside.com.au . aside from that Nobby himself is some what of an expert in them too and has a few bits and pieces in the shed and more than enough ability to create an engine that makes Cerberus look like Droopy dog.

Good score though. I love the smell of <s>napalm</s> castor in the morning.

Nobby is a member here "Hyside" being his user name.
He's a pom, but if you concentrate hard enough you can understand what he's saying. :D Moving into Gixxers I believe. Has some bloody good contacts over in europe too for trick race stuff. The website is a fair way behind, but anything you need he can generally get his hands on.
Enough Arse kissing. Back to the RZ

[FIGHTERMC]

started work on my lc.
engine out for a repaint
and will be back in at the end of
the week and hopefully the rgv250 front on too.
