yeah, the ebay seller told me it had arrived in Australia at the end of March,
so it might have been around Australia a few times...

i now have the Suzuki forks on the PW,
i couldn't use the new fat tyre and original PW50 wheel, due to the tyre fouling on both forks.
the only thing i'll need to do is to make a stop so the fork cant hit the tank at full lock.
the Suzuki forks have the stops at the back, and PW stops are at the front.
i have to make some brackets to mount the front fender/number plate too.



i tried starting it but had a bit of trouble, and i haven't hooked up the choke still.
after about 10 kicks i checked if it had spark, there was nothing.
pulled the seat off and checked that the coil was wired up, yeah. then i found i hadn't plug the other end of the coil power wire into the loom.
gave it a kick and it fired up,
it stalled a couple of times being cold still so i will need to get the choke working with the Suzuki Mikuni, shouldn't be too hard.
i also need to make up a bigger shield to stop mud /dirt from getting to the new Uni filter.

Yep that would be your problem....cool so all sorted for tomorrow...whoop whoop!!!

one thing i noticed with the JR50 forks on the PW, is that they must have a bit of rake built into the tripple clamps.
the PW is now a slightly longer wheelbase....
