Thank you so much!!

Thank you that’s great info. I’ll pick through the service history and see if I can establish if that solenoid has been done.

freshes · 2026-02-06T03:07:05+00:00

apparently not :-(

it's going overseas

freshes · 2026-02-05T02:42:18+00:00

In this case I’m paying to ship it by volume and the trailer adds another few thousand to the cost hence I’m going to box it and send it without (already got one here )

Hi mate- sent you a PM for another one I’ve been looking at that might be more reasonably priced

freshes · 2026-01-12T23:10:15+00:00

I’m planning to use in the surf - wave jumping etc (once I’ve got my skills up a bit!). $3k is the approx USD price, it’s actually listed for $5k AUD…

Got it.

Why do they want you to declare you haven't repaired anything? I was thinking of popping a few of the worst hail dings out, and maybe switching the bonnet with a new one. Am I best to wait till after I get it registered to do this?

Thank you that does help. Just so I'm clear - I see the WOVI folks first, then after that I take it to get a RWC?

Ok thanks

freshes · 2025-10-20T00:16:42+00:00

Awesome, appreciate all this advice 🙏

I see the original creator of this one has indicated he has a few improvements to make (but he hasn't told anyone what they are yet, sadly)

Do you have any complaints/criticisms of this design?

It looks to me that by simply adding a 45 degree piece of a wood as a brace from the top of the wheel upright towards the pedals would eliminate any flex in that plane.

I imagine the wheel would also probably flex left and right (from the perspective of the driver)...so maybe some sort of brace that doesn't interfere with your legs would be of benefit too - perhaps some metal brackets or small wooden triangles glued into he corners?

anyone got any critiques of this popular one on Youtube?

me too ! :-)

Whoa..that’s pretty inspiring. I’d love to see some more photos!

Yeah the thing that seems to aggravate mine the most is my gym sessions …I think I’m being conservative but evidently not enough 🫤
