Apologies for my ignorancy but please tell me the benefits of 18'' instead of stock wheel, any other than just look?

Steers better, stops better, accelerates better (better weight distribution), better tyre choices, slightly less chance of dinging the front guard on your upside down horn :lol: etc

Nigel, you still haven't put that VB carton in the bin! Great pic - but mine was a bit rougher looking than that back then. They run great when they look a bit used! Whose pipes?

That's Alan Moffats race winning VB carton ;) Couldn't throw away a piece of history. The pipes are A-Z tuning a Melbourne workshop they did a fair bit of two stroke postclassic work. They stopped doing pipes in the 90's though.
