    What we really need is a ride for scrapheap bikes. You know, frankenbikes. Nothing over $1k-$1.2k. Like over in the AdvRider aussie site....
    IT'S JUST BETTER WHEN THERE'S TWINS INVOLVED..

    What's the chance of it looking like a Tengai when you're done with it anyway?

    Ahahaahahhh ahem. You mean the Dusty Butt 1000Km challenge?

    BTW the chances of the Tengai looking like a Tengai would be very high - cos the plastics are VERY big

    Okay, well that's something I can play. Have a <$400 DR250 in the shed, "renovator's dream". Heck it might even be quite a comfy-ish bike for the DB, has an awesomely-big seat - and low seat height - compared to a modern dirt bike.
    Cheers,
    Colin

    You could add bits off of your exc and then it would be a proper frankenbike.

    I could, but then it wouldn't be eligible for VMX, and getting the 200 going again would become harder...

    Glenn at 650.net recommends not putting the K&N filters on as they are more restrictive than the stockers. Most guys are putting in Unis

    Did the clutch & side stand bypass last night and came across this franken part.

    From what I gather it's some sort of clean air system. It has a thin hose to the carb, a fatter one to a metal tube next to the spark plug, with god knows what on the end..., a sensor? And another fat hose connected to the frame. All very mysterious...
    Apart from the picture above, the Clymer doesn't even mention it.
    Do I need this thing?
    Has anyone removed theirs?

    Yeah, a strange pic interface on this site. An upgrade?
    Let's try an attachement...
    I'm almost certain it's a clean air system of some sorts.
    The hose & metal tube next to the spark plug is a vacuum.
    Another bigger hose disappears into the frame and has me puzzled.
