    I have to give a shout out to these guys. Aircraft Spruce https://www.aircraftspruce.com/ I have been buying from them since forever. Hoses, electrical and lots of other bits and pieces that you might want for your bike are also used on small aircraft. They are really good on prices and the shipping is as cheap as it gets. That means they actually get off their arse and take the orders to the post office, so they can pass the saving onto the customers. Unlike all the other 'things' that want to charge you $46 USD to ship one screw because they couldn't be bothered.
    I just bought some Bing and Tygon LP-1200 hose, and an assortment of snapper clips. I need these for the accelerator pump hoses on my FCR's.

    I’ll second that. I’ve been doing business with Aircraft Spruce for years and they’re great.

    Took a risk on some One-piece leathers from Etsy, comes with all the armouring... $360 (aus) delivered.
    Stitching quality seems good so far!

    Well i haven't posted much lately due to the fact it has been too cold and dark during this winter time. But i have ordered new and 2nd hand parts for the old ZXR250C, and now that we have just pasted the shortest day, meaning summer is on it's way i will make an effort to complete my build before the weather improves. Hope everyone is behaving themselves.

    A small package today.. Exhaust head studs including washers and 12 point nuts in titanium from RaceBolts...
    Overkill for the SRX I know but I do like that the studs have a 4mm allen head to run them in.
    Not cheap but excellent sservice from Racebolts in Qld.

    They look well made. I use Loctite LB 8009 to deal with the galling issue.

    What are you planning on going on a nation wide crusade to check that every 10mm bolt is adequately torqued?

    More like what the postman isnt delivering today... I find Aramex (formerly Fastrack- poor choice of name) to be probably the worst delivery company... not the contractors who do the delivery but the main organisation.
    I ordered a new 6v Coil for the SL125 from Melbourne... and today I have this notification... hmm I didnt realise the Sunshine Coast was on the way from Melbourne to Albury..... :headbang:
