new project!

Yeah! G'day Richard, can't answer your question, why do people answer a question with a question?

That's OK I just noticed that you had done in it in your rig Pick

if you know the right people, you can trace people and find their addys.. then if its the wrong person who finds this bleep out, they can come take your bleep .

also if you are doing norty things, or have illegal mods on ya truck, then RTA etc can hunt you down...

cops did to some bloke on the Skyline forum, even made page 4!

Thanks

sort of thought that, but it wont work for me, I but my name all over the place...LOL

I'd say a Honda 500cc

G'day MartyB, Yeah! Richard picked it, it's a 1981 CX500 with a few improvements:-
XR350 front end, Husky rear top frame, Handel bars & bark-busters, foot pegs XR, complete overhaul of the motor, pistons, rings all gaskets, new clutch... the list goes on.
I intend to use it for desert travel but I have to get a bit fitter first. The bike handles ok but it is a bit heavy in the front, the front end is the second and better set up, my first attempt was to use a front end assembly of an old CR400 Husky but I kept blowing fork seals!

G'day Steve, Yeah its worth considering to put the axle under but it is not quite enough, you see the rear door jam is made in such a way that it acts also as a rear step and hangs down about 150 thus cutting ground clearance. I was going to use a 65mm U channel about a metre long and weld it under the suspension mounts on both sides(leaf springs). As for the dealer, I bought it second hand, it's a 2001 model

Try axle under springs and taller tyres, The mob who had it before must of looked after it it looks new.

Cheers Steve.

Yeah! Steve, It has 14" wheels at the moment I'm going to put 15" rims and taller tyres, I'm still not convinced about the axle under the suspension. I did that on my 6x4 trailer and worked a treat but the places and roads we travel on when away....do you think that will work with the van and the weight ?

andy

It will only cost you a couple of hours to find out, if it doesn't work well you have to pull it all off any way.

If you have to weld something under your chasis I would use 50mm x 50mm x 6mm box.

That's what I used when I strengthened my trailer.

Cheers Steve.
