Couple of people piked on the planed coffee run today so EL and I did a mission up to Lake Coleridge and back by mid day. Tried a bit of trials riding in the Harper river bed - not such a good idea. Nothing broken but clutch got a work out. Also El managed to chunk the Desert rear and I've got a couple of good slices in mine. Seems they are not that tough.
Anyway - new air filter pics below. Foam is Uni Filter foam stuck with Ados F2 contact glue. Cages are 20mm square welded chicken mesh, the plates are old 1.5mm computer cases and 3.5mm checker plate alloy, red high temp gasket goop (cause I had some in the shed) and grey closed cell foam to form a seal against the air box. Goop is to protect the green foam from the lumps of solder holding the mesh to the steel plate. After chasing El today I've ridden in enough dust to make it worth pulling the whole lot to bits to see how they are going.
Cheers R
