    Australia: Importing US MV's

    G'day everyone,.... Nobody in the VMVC have a Deuce. I have only heard of a couple of others in Australia and as far as I know from what I am told by them I have the only known multifuel. I have been to a couple of their meetings and they all seem to be great people, but then they are MV...

    Australia: Importing US MV's

    G'day everyone,.... Ok,... so today I took my Deuce to go get its roadworthy certificate. Went a lot smoother than I thought. Guy just looked around it, made a few notes while he watched me change out an indicator globe that wasn't working so now they all DO! Took it out to do a brake test...

    G'day everyone,.... Well I was fortunate enough I guess to find a Deuce in the condition/configuration I wanted with the only real exception being I would love to get that Whistler Turbo. The battery box was just a cosmetic change really, that and I think it will be safer than the metal one in...

    Australia: Importing US MV's

    G'day everyone,.... Actually not just 5 mins ago the new battery box I got for my Deuce arrived! The current battery box is the metal one and the battery clamps are a little to close to the edge of it for my liking! I can just see the insulation on the cables wearing out and then it shorting...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    G'day everyone,..... Yeah I need to replace that gasket as well because mine is missing short of a small section that was laying on the floor partly under the drivers seat. They'll spray those commercial pressure washers at anything,.... The Temp gauge still mists up with water trapped inside...

    G'day everyone,..... I just got back from taking my Deuce for a little run. I had to get a new set of batteries and she fired right up. I have the batts I took out of it on charge now. Spent some time refitting nuts and bolts AQIS did NOT put back. Including the pins for the passenger seat...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    G'day everyone,... Yeah it as been serviced before it was sent. When I checked the oil when I did the prestart check the oil was only a misty colour and not even black so the oil is fresh. Even the coolant in the radiator is at the correct level! I am off to go re-collect it in a few hours so...
