I got rid of the fairing around the front disc...I found (luckily not entirely the hard way) that it acts like a sail in a cross wind.

Shes done 41000 miles and the motor sounds real sweet ,just a couple of suspension bearings and throttle cable and I'll be happy as she is for now (I'm not touching anything as for the first time in ages I've got two bikes that both go at the same time)
Theres a nice looking one down your way on TM at the mo if you're feeling nostalgic

.... already spotted that one, going to QT on Tuesday....

I have been a good boy recently but me thinks that might be pushing the boundaries with she who must be obeyed!

Underground, if you ever need a head gasket for it I have a brand new one hanging in the shed thats free to a good home. Actually considering where you live, delivery could be thrown in too.

I dont really need it at this stage .........but what the hell, bring it out anyway ,you know you want to

Actually I still have a spare seat in my garage, which you are welcome to have.

It's lower, wider & firmer than the original, and for me was much less comfortable than the standard.

Man those cannons out the back look excellent. Good stuff Jeff. I'm guessing I'll be seeing a new set of 606's & E07s hanging up at clives again

I've got some KLR engine cases too...

Prob not much use to you but I thought since it's christmas & everyones in the giving mood...

**Woodman** · 19th December 2010, 09:15

Thanks WW , I'll definately chuck that on and see how it rides-although I'm finding the original surprisingly comfortable.
No Padmei , but thanks for the thought ....mm KLR cases ,they'll be pretty heavy mabe I could melt them down and make sinkers ?
Its been rainy so I fossiced around in my bits drawer and found a container with the not so rooted suspension bearings off the AT .
After a bit of work with the angle grinder to shorten one bush she's like new again ,even resurected some not so bad seals .
Never throw anything out !
Todays "zero budget' transformation is to replace the tiney wee rear sprocket with a near new one with lots more teeth on it off the AT that I also hadnt thrown out (thankyou mr Honda for parts interchangeability)
The previous owner had this thing geared for intergalactic travel ,1st gear just wants to do 50k when I give it a bit of gas and second is good for 90 ...which makes it next but useless round here
