2 Strokes Down Under

http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/n610/eztwoc/IMG_0805_zpsyelwaaw3.jpg UDATE 26/2/16 Well a happy day reunited with my missing parts. Collected a box of most of my parts from Gold Coast Electroplating. They were good about it and when I offered to purchase the parts they declined and handed them ...

Thanks gman, but dont think I would keep up with you. Old and slow. There are bold riders and there are old riders, but there are no bold old riders. Anyway did have a 1978 RD200 once still love the 2 stroke. Also some new news. UPDATE 12/2/16 Received phone call from Gold Coast Electroplating. Some...

UPDATE 2/2/16 Bad news I still have not located my parts. Good news is that Gold Coast Electroplating has now kept their word and have refunded my money that I had paid for the zinc plating and also enough money to cover most of my missing parts. Some are rare and no longer available so will try the...

How true gman. Every time I went to that place Ian the office clerk was always in a hurry and didnt seem to be interested. When I went back after the incident old Ron came into the office and was saying so none of those parts belong to you, didnt seem to be surprised. UPDATE 23/1/16 I am now startin...

UPDATE So far have found out that the parts belong to a Yamaha XT500 around 1980 model. No luck from Gold Coast Electroplating. They no longer care and the promises from them that they would compensate me have falled through. I think they believe that these are my parts and I'm trying to rip them of...

How true James, I have learnt my lesson. Photograph everything. One good thing the electroplaters know they would not have charged me $90 to zinc the above parts. I think they know something has happened as I had over twice as many. Anyway still no word but just placed an add on ebay as someone else...

no worries, happy to help, it sucks big time to lose parts like this. In fact it was a great idea to photograph them and put them up, you never know what parts people will recognise. How true, add now placed on Gumtree looking for the guy whos restoring a XT 500 on the Gold Coast who has the box of...

Im going to say Yammy dirt bike as it looks very XT/TT500 to me. Have a look at this page: http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/1981/XT500H/STAND+FOOTREST/parts.html :Clap: Spot on looks like parts from a 1980 Yamaha XT500. Thank you, may help to track down owner and get my parts...

I hope they are compensating you well! If you don't get any recognition on here, try asking/posting on the VJMC Forum because there are loads of people who know loads of bikes, I'd be surprised if you got no joy there. (If you need help posting there PM me). Thanks for the offer, member from the Ka...

Hi I am seeking help from your members please. Gold Coast Electroplating have lost my parts. I handed in a heap of Suzuki GS parts beginning Nov 2015 for zinc plating and 5 weeks later the below parts came back. They do not know what happened to my parts or who the owner of these parts are. No one a...
