RE: Have I forgotten anything ?
As for beer , I am told by a mate of mine who dropped by earlier today that our best ones are not exported (in his opinion anyway)...
I think they export all our best food though.... whenever I am overseas and eat Aussie beef, shrimp (prawns) etc etc they always seem to be better than I can buy locally.

This is how the rear end is looking at the moment... a bit better than my last pic where someone noted how plain the rear was!

RE: Have I forgotten anything ?
G'day,
I wouldn't know as I am not into drag racing but have a few mates that are. I don't think drag racing is that big here but it is growing and I only live two suburbs away from Eastern creek international 1/4 mile drag strip that they just built so I should go out there. I am more into circuit racing (as I used to do it)... see www.v8supercars.com.au as that is what the blue oval gear I was wearing was all about as we used to sponsor the Fujitsu racing team last year and my friend and neighbour of 30 years races for them.
I did google that mob and couldn't find any mention of them on there either.

From down under are ya. I was just wondering if you know Morgan motor sports? good friends of ours here in Cali. They bought a top fuel drag rail from us! It was some years back.
Any way what sparked the interest was all the Blue oval stuff on dmacs1968s deal on the left of his post.

RE: Have I forgotten anything ?
Ok so this bike stuff I am still a novice at, but I do know my beers! So that will be either Carlton Draught ("draft" to you in the US) or Victoria Bitter, known locally as "VB". Carlton and United Breweries ("CUB") also own the older Melbourne Bitter name, but this beer isn't as available as VB. CUB own Fosters, which is watery crap only drunk outside Australia or by my late uncle. In fact I hardly ever even see it at my local bottle shop here in Perth.
CUB also own Matilda Bay brewery which makes some cool "boutique" beers (probably difficult to call them boutique now) like Redback wheat beer and Bohemian Pils. But VB is probably the most popular beer in Australia these days. It's kinda generic - it's a bit bogan (read "redneck") but you'll see it everywhere. It seems to have almost replaced Emu Export as the bogan beer of choice here in Western Australia.

if you are going with a detachable sissy bar I am pretty sure you will need a kit to relocate the turn signals. I am trying to figure out if I can mount mine without one, but I have not figured it out as of yet
