Fuuuuu that’s hot!
My first bike was a late 80’s high comp cr80, the powerband on the thing was like no other.

Unfortunately they’re pretty much on par with an xs650 price wise now.

Probably 99% of my posts on old SD forum was in this topic.
Been listening to a bunch of Mindsnare, Toe to Toe and some NCHC bands recently.

Have a handful of SR’s (80’s models, not late 90’s) as well. Rebuilding a stock one for the missus and a little city jammer to get around on until The right shovel or pan comes along.
Got some parts bikes if you need anything!

Yo,
Can't remember what my name was on the old forum, only ever posted on the music related threads anyway.
Anyway, I'm Sam. Did the move from Brisbane to Geelong 2-ish years ago for a fresh start, worked a bit too well cause I didn't and still don't know anyone down here, which is why I ended up with this little project. Picked up a couple of early 80's SR250's for a bit under $1k with the intention of getting a beginner bike together for the missus. Restored one back to factory and decided to make a little city jammer out of what was left.
Got a new phone since I started so I don't have any of the progress pictures (Other than one I posted somewhere on here months ago), so this is where I'm at.
Started making a little faux oil bag to store the battery & wiring out of an old extinguisher, not sure if I'm about it yet.

A bit stuck on the wiring side of things. I converted it to Kick only and got an Antigravity battery for it with a bunch of new shit which has me baffled, so if you have a bit of eletrical knowledge and feel like helping someone not die, let me know!
Also picked up a 79 Corona with 70,000 original kilometers on it as a project for missos first car. Makes me realise how shit it is to work on newer cars.
