Ouch! I'm glad that you kept with it and got it back together. Previous owners can be the bane to your existence when purchasing a used vehicle, and something like that is invisible from the outside. I would suspect that they knew what had happened (or it would have still been low or empty when you bought it. NOW the real fun begins...You get to ride the wheels off of it! From what I've seen in pics NZ is almost a motorcycling nirvana. I wish I could afford to visit and bring my bike! | ||

we have lots of roads that the buell love good hard corners especially some of the coast roads lots of fun this was done on the cheap i did most of the grunt work however left the tech stuff to one of NZs top harley mech to do the repairs he said its was close to finding a donor as there was not much he could save shit happens i had invested too much to in do like you said now i get to ride the arse of it |
