    Thanks Kram, just got onto Joe’s MC at Canberra and scored a seat for $50 and a chain guide for $20. :woohoo:

    Note; you gotta ring them, they don’t respond to email enquiries.

    As it had no brakes Kram gave me a few front brake calipers to try, along with a few assorted master cylinders. All were in a fairly poor state, so I picked the best of them and cleaned them up and bolted them on. At first they wouldn’t bleed and after a while, investigations found a blocked bleed screw to be the culprit. Fixed that and they bled up straight away and I had brakes!

    Once I had them working I couldn’t help myself, I had to drag it out of the shed for a short test ride around my yard!

    It runs well and changes gears smoothly, so I am pretty happy with the project so far, considering what a junk heap it was when it arrived here. I actually originally bought it for spare parts for my other NX and it wasn’t until recently that I decided that it was a contender for the Scrapheap adventure ride.

    I am still toying with the idea of riding it without any fairings . So after my test ride yesterday, I put it back on the stand and started mucking around with some fairings that I have kicking around.

    I am warming to the idea of putting the fairings on it, although most of the mounting hardware is missing.

    I think it does look a lot better.

    On a side note, after breaking my tail light on my XR650 with a wayward bolt the other night, I ordered a new one from our local Honda dealer. Well I was ratting around looking through the box full of NX plastics and actually found 2 XR650 taillight lenses, one brand new one still in the packaging! I had no idea that I had them or where the came from!

    Update.

    I loaded the old girl on the trailer and took her out to a mates place for a shake down ride.
    The Scrapper NX is a goer! It goes better than it looks and with the after market rear shock, it actually has rear suspension that provides actual dampening!

    Although I think it might have a clutch issue, :silly: I was having trouble with taking off smoothly and it kept lofting its front wheel! :whistle: :whistle: Must be adjustment I think? ;)

    Definitely clutch Mick! Might have to look at bolting on a postie bike centrifugal clutch to settle it down a bit!

    Hey Gents,
    I was thinking of the possibility of being a sweep rider for this event. Who do I need to talk to?
    I will run it by the minister and check a few dates.

    Thanks,
    Lefty ;)
