Nah, you gotta spend at least tree-fiddy before anyone

Tell ya what, I'll give you a kid-in-da-nuts for fifty
cents. No, wait, I'll go better... I'll ro-sham-bo you

One tyre, fitted $60
Brake pads - nfi, getting mine done for the first time now.

Service, do it yourself with a good manual or pay around $150 at a dealer.
Can pick up an awesome workshop manual for US$50 at the moment with the
current exchange rate.


Petrol = cheap = 5.5 litre tank = 130 km.
parts = cheap = available new from any honda dealer or 2nd hand from
numerous wreckers.

Watch out for wheels, my back wheel is buggered prob due to a postie jumping
gutters.

Search message archive at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/postiebikes/ for
more info.
http://shop.store.yahoo.com/dratv/ind.html follow links to CT-110... prices

or you can find all the info you need on the net for free

 

$30US for shipping, gotta be joking

 

Actually not really, its very hard and what you do find normally lacks
pictures...
And while there are postie manuals easily available (via one site) there is
even less in the way of comprehensive workshop manual type stuff.
The postiebike yahoo group is awesome, but you tend to get instructions from
people who've done what you're attempting to do, without pics.

Can't reccomend the manual highly enough, is only $20 US total of $50 US to
have it shipped here in 14 days.

 

For $US30 you should be able to get it UPS delivered to your door in 3 days.
