You're another KLR owner too?

Nah, a KLR owner uses a brick and a cold chisel.

They are useful tools for those delicate jobs, carbys respond well to liberal use of these.

Been having an e-mail conversation with GSD4ME (Aussie based) over the last few nights. He let me have some copies of photos from a bike that he built up, prepared for him by Ray Peake. The first photo is as the bike was pre upgrade
He said 'Ray had the bike and was going to do it up anyway, but I asked him to do a couple of things that I wanted and to paint it that colour. The bike ended up with higher risers than are on it in the pics, plus pivot pegs, which are are a bit lower. Rear shock is nothing flash, can`t remember the name. It also had the lower first, higher fifth gearbox thing done.
The blue GS you can see behind the `before` bike is Ray`s personal bike, which he has had for a few years now; it owes him about $24,000'.
At the end of it all the bike didn't fit him very well, so Ray arranged to find another buyer.
'There is a 100GSPD lurking in the shadows, that I may be able to get fairly cheaply. The plan at the moment is to remove the fairing, fit a round (big) genuine headlight, small screen, low front guard, acewell instruments, single seat and rack. The seat will immediately be sent to be raised and re-profiled. Mechanically, it will be twin plugged, 1070 kit, big alternator, -/+ gearbox, plus the myriad things that Ray does to bikes that make them so good. Suspension will be played with by Ray, which means a decent fork brace and trimmed standard fork springs, I think. Basically, I`m going to let him do his thing, with a bit of input on cosmetics. Colour will most likely be blue frame, white panels and guards.'

Very nice.
How did he get the RHS cyclnder to tilt forward in the Top right pic?
