I'm in Cairns and its been cool at night ( cool for Cairns ) still hot in the sun but to be fair its perfect weather here. Sleeping with the fans off and pulling a blanket over the legs around about 3am most nights.
Enjoy you stay in paradise enjoy the evenings wearing your thongs and stubby's

I modified my box trailer this weekend so I can actually fit the ST in and tie it down properly, the fairing makes that thing very difficult to tie down to a regular box trailer in a way that doesn't interfere or rub on the fairing.

Now I can start work on fitting these wheels on. New rubber was put on, I installed the wheel bearings this weekend and will start sorting wheel and rotor spacing etc.

Looking good, What size wheels did you go for and how much lighter are they? if you don't mind me asking

Theyre a 19f and 18r, I really rate 18in rear wheels for looks. Couldn't tell you weight though.

You sure about that XXXXing beer?
Seems to me that Great Northern is about the most popular beer in Australia atm.
Just goes to show what a tasteless bunch of unsavory folk most people can be.
Anyone who can walk and fart at the same time knows the Tassie beers are best.

Nice bits there! Comp and springs are good upgrades, with the springs being very cheap.

I've been working on this wheel swap, definitely not bolt on but think I've found the solution to factor in ABS sensor.

yeah the price of the springs were some what reasonably priced $50 or so compared to most HD stuff, the comp ramp $850(not HD) but is a bit of piece of mind thing lol
