    gday john , im in brisbane, one thing i did was get a heap of tappet cover gaskets and a few of the other ones such as clutch cover etc from the states , the local dealer here wanted $91 for 1 tappet cover gasket, plus after all the usual maintanence and safety things ,braided lines on the front gives you confidence to stop in a hurry, cheers , ps good luck
