G'day 45degreers.
thanks for havin me on your site i'm lookin forward to a wealth of widespread knowledge and knowhow, and all the bull talk too.
I'm in Adelaide, and (hiss boo) am a jap bike rider/builder.
A life time ago when my father was a bit younger than i am now... My grandpa decided he'd better take his WLA to bits and hide it so it didn't get tuned into a chopper. Now years later he's pulled it out and put it together. It is too large a project for him and i'd like to help him to see it going once again. I'm in the middle if doin a jap bike streetfighter build so i'm not shy at doin a bit but I'm searching for someone who can offer a bit of expertise on the older machine.
Its a 42 army issue. Everything is there and on as far as i know. I reckon it could do with relooming and maybe some gaskets but i'm just geussing right now. Some workmates have said they're a simple thing to get going. Yeah ok, I know all about simple jobs.
Can anybody offer advise or help? Even a contact or website or specific forum that can help out? If there is someone with a workshop in Adelaide that wouldn't mind a chat i'd be keen. Thanks.
Daniel.
If you're in Adelaide the place you should contact for your WLA is K&M Motorcycles. They specialise in old bikes. Saw they had a couple of WLA's for sale a while back. Here is their site:

KC has pointed you in the right direction, am not on retainer @ K&M just agree they are probably the best to talk to, as for Hyperformance, dont hold me to this but I dont reckon they exist anymore... If they do then I dont reckon its at that location anyway...??? Would be interested if anyone knows for sure...
