Why one really tidy ali heel guard and one a little cheaper looking Carbon?

**98tls** · 20th December 2006, 18:04

No idea mate............thats just the way he makes them.....something in his sales profile thingy mentions its his trademark kind of thing.....who knows....they seem very well made and a good price so i went for it.......ive got a carbon hugger coming from Aussie so one side will match eh.........ha ha

Is that a geelong carbon hugger you talk of? Ill be very interested to see what you think of it and what the photos look like, as i have been looking for something that will match the weave of my front carbon guard (im still in la la land, thinking ive got money for such things!)

Yea Brent thats the one.......i put up a thread on TLzone about carbon huggers and a guy over there had an as new Geelong one he sold me for just over 1/2 price so got lucky.........wish the courier van would pull up.......will grab a pic of it for you.....actually i might have one that he sent me.......

here it is..........

**tl_tub** · 20th December 2006, 18:25

A shame, it doesnt look like it would match my current one, as mine has quite a coarse weave, maybe twice the width as those (though hard to tell through a picture ofcourse).
Well, for now i think it will just be a case of fix the hole in my fibreglass one and then gloss black, along with the rest of the fairings since last night i dropped it onto gearsbox parts

Anyway, a good xmas pressy for your bike, and you! Your going to have the best looking tls in NZ, if not already!

We both know of a guy that has the best looking TLS in NZ..........and he has two of them......eh les.Brent if you know of anyone looking for a fibreglass hugger for a TLS i have a just fairings one i would sell.How far away are you from getting yours on the road...........

**tl_tub** · 20th December 2006, 18:45

Ah, the only other person i know what a tls is as broke as me

It could be a little while before im up and running. Im currently stripping the frame to give it a good cleaning, then i need to source money for a chain and some new tires, though i may be able to scrape through a wof with the current set of rubber.
It looks like im planning a trip to fiordland area (and anywhere else along the way) in the school holidays in april-may, whenever they are

Edit: looking at 14th april onwards for the trip

Be worth it in the end mate.........i have a 1/2 worn front here you can have for postage if things get tight................

**imdying** · 20th December 2006, 19:00

Oh yeah, I'd tap those

Check out nzsbf 98tls, one of the brothers has rooted his TLR and needs some wheels. Or at least a helping hand in finding out what other wheels fit

Oh, na, things arent that tight, just trying to be sensible, as ive only had one loan repayment taken out so far, and 30 years of them to come

The front has enough tread to pass a wof, but i wouldnt want to ride on it due to cracks forming in the middle. I will either get some pilot powers or some ex race supercorsas if i can find a good pair

Ive got plenty of tls and tlr bits i can put on trademe to get a bit more money anyway! Your a top bloke for offering though!
