Hmmmm maybe I should, I'm worried your anorexia will get the better of you one day and you'll need some emergency calories

You are likely to have a fair bit of competition. Maybe even from Freewind owners...

Thanks Eddie and good luck.
They are a bit over-size for the DT230...

I have a slightly used PBI 525 16t front sprocket, if anyone wants it.
Handy for experimenting with tall gearing.
Free to a good home.
PM me here.

Just spotted new 17" wheel sets on Torpedo 7 for the mighty DR650.
Anyone brought them yet? They are a lot cheaper than any from Aussie or USA especially with our collapsing $

Might be fixable, looks like it'd have bent headstock. Could be good for donor engine, exhaust etc. Nice aftermarket seat, bigger tank (if you don't mind scratches)

**NordieBoy** · 10th October 2014, 17:02

Someone wants it more than me

**R650R** · 17th October 2014, 16:40

Its up to $900 now...

Had bugger all juice in the tank other day after 330km leg from d'virke-Porongaroa-Napier, so drained out left side of Acerbis20L tank fully.
Pretty much bang on one litre and sitting on the other side was about the same or slightly less. Tipped back in and fuelled up 0.5km up road and put in exactly 20L.
So that means the Acerbis natural expansion takes it to just under 22L capacity.
16.5km/L well it was a spirited ride

Finally got the indicators sorted with a Chinese pulse unit for LED's and wired in the plate light. It is blueish until the brakes are applied when it glows red.

Not sure how it will be received at VTNZ and I may have to apply some red paint to block out the rear facing blue section.

Looks good though although the red didn't show up too brightly in the photo as the battery is a bit down due to all the continual testing when the headlight is on. Must wire in an off switch for the headlight.

Now I only have to find a headlight to fit and I'm back on the road.

Cheers
