    It might work if the rim has the right number of holes in the right places and the spokes are the right length. You want a 17 inch rim about 2.5 inches wide. Suspect this one isn't going to fit the bill.

    Some of your crash bungs look pretty good. Others...may be a blob of plastic at the end of a bent bolt after one crash.
    Some of mine don't last that well truth be known.

    Your crash bungs do get a good workout though, this weekend for example I'm certain they'll be getting some track time.

    Just what is it you are trying to say? Don't pull any punches here

    OK so I crash a bit in the wet, and dry, and in between. God hates me (and I suck)

    Capn Soup. I'm averaging about one crash a month at the moment, but in my defence some have been on my wifes bike and some on a mates. Don't let me ride yours.

    Sacrifice your body to save the bike..

    I think those crash bungs are pretty mean looking and may cause you some injury if they bend etc. Although they do look pretty thick, what is that stuff m16 ?

    yea i think so. i got bout half a meter of it for $5 at the ol placemakers, it didnt have anything but a bar code on it. its pretty hardy. i "tested" its bendabilty and it really doesnt want to do much but then again im not a motorbike falling on it.

    @henk, i have no quambs with falling of or sliding out,( to be honest i want to see what it feels like to slide)

    BUT i now have a HUGE problem!! was mucking around with the bike today trying to lower the exteremly high idle, touched the carb settings, and now it wont start, i think its the float( petrol comes out the drain tube, but if i lock it i get the same result!!) but i dont know, iv fiddled with it so much now that im completely lost......idiot......should have just left it... and now im late for work... any ideas would be apriciated.. i cant seem to find any free seting guides on the net...

    It's a good thing he doesn't come on KB anymore - I'd hate for him to read this and get a fat head. I'll save that up for one day when I want to get on his good side

    How did you get on over the weekend?
