G'day KB folks..
Been a few years since I was much active around here but I figured there's nowhere better to come crowdsource recommendations for bike stuff :-)
My trusty old steed is a bit kaput, and in need of repair. The engine ran low on oil due to a leak, and as a result now had feck all front compression (and just under minimum spec in the rear) and makes a rattly sound. Friend of mine who's a backyard mechanic thinks the sound is the front cylinder in need of a new O ring, but worst case it could be a new bearing. Either way I need someone to pull it apart, confirm what's wrong, confirm if it's even worth fixing a 20 year old japper, and not charge me obscene amounts of money (yes I know a rebuild won't be cheap, but there's good mechanics at $50-60/hour labour and there's dealerships at twice that :-P)
The bike has been sitting doing bugger all other than rusting for 3 years now, and it's high time I either got it fixed or scrapped it. Since work in their almighty wisdom have given me a bonus this year I'm looking for a recommendation for a bike mechanic/store in Christchurch (or surrounds if there's someone really good worth travelling to in the vicinity) to do this.
Suggestions please?
