    Shane took the muffler off the "spare" TT350 today.
    Looks in very good condition.
    Attacked the end with a hole saw and saw the first internal baffle was shot and once the pry bar dealt to that, the 2nd one wasn't much better...
    On to the TT350Adv it went.
    It still goes better than the muffler that was on there...

    Really, really good.

    Good enough that I'm going to have to modify the DR screen to reduce the buffeting to this level or less...

    The handguards work really well too.

    My folding shovel arrived today. Looks like it'll do very nicely. Identical to the SuperCheap one by the looks but more expensive

    Also got another pruning saw. Although calling it a pruning saw is like calling a scalpel a knife. It's a little beaut. Silky Pocket Boy. Even the name is cool

    I'm a great fan of sharp things.

    These are better: http://www.sella.co.nz/general/busin...restry/7zh8rd/
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    For quartering kills, yes. But you can't hold a branch in one hand whilst cutting it with t'other.

    Put some of the cheap red gaiters on the TT today. They'll do for the time being. I still want full length red neoprene ones on it.

    It's a bugger when you've re-done the dash and have a few spare connectors.

    When you unplug the brake switch from the loom and a couple of others, it's difficult to know which ones you need to use when you do it back up

    I was going to get a handful of them (60% less postage on additional items) but he only had one pair.

    Have you got them already? - Am I right in assuming that if these fit the DR then they would slot on to the KLR (probably slow her down but slot straight on)?

    They arrived today...

    They fit the DR range, 79-81 XR, 86-99 TT350, <08 KLR650...

    They're the bikes I've tried DR pegs on.
