Hey guys, had a rough couple of years, but no excuse for not staying connected, especially with so many freely giving advise and help over the years.

I finally got my nearly 7 year project finished, and after several additional headaches NZTA certified.
Some fine tuning with set up and suspension will see it even better.

I have added new Hagon rear shocks with stiffer springs, rated for a 95kg rider and 70kg pillion full time. These are so much better than the OE shocks.

Just waiting for Robert Taylor to come up with a solution for the front forks which with the OE springs has over 50mm of sag unladen, so once my 100kg fat Rrrs sits on it she has probably used over 2 thirds of her 130mm travel.
Will attach a few photos for those interested.

The granddaughter has 7 years age difference between the two photos sitting in the hack, lol I had to edit because I forgot how quickly they grow.

cheers Bonez,
Had some replacement body parts fitted and other odds and sods going on that have kept me busy, still managed to do a few two wheeled rides, but mostly lone wolf and not as many as would have liked.

Hopefully I can spend a bit more time enjoying the banter and knowledge shared on here a bit more.
