Hey Duncan, I love the thread mate, great to see another kiwi battling with a 3xv. I’ve not been on this forum for a long time, I bought a basket case 3xv1 a few years ago and have finally got it to a stage for compliance, luckily mine has been registered in NZ before so I’m good. I too use the rgv fuel tap and it works without issue. I ended with almost enough spares to build another bike, carbs, electrics, frame , motor , shock and triple clamps but was thinking of building a track bike if I can find the swing arm and suitable front end.
As for tyres, I love the pirelli super corsa on my race bike but as you know, Kane the local importer has limited supply, not sure if it’s a COVID related supply chain issue or that the sizes are just not common anymore, the 300SS guys are looking at 140 rear slicks as they are now cheaper than the super corsa.
I will keep following with interest mate.
