i've got a complete XL or XR front end lined up for the bike its quite a popular upgrade on these bikes gives them a rise and stiffens them up, much like Mezo's neighbor :drool:

Yep she`s a hottie all right, Kylie siad "Hey Mez your girlfriends mopping her floor in her short shorts"

I was busy tapping away on the keyboard & didn't go for a perv for about ten mins, when i did i said "fuuuuck me" (Kylie was laughing) they was right up her arse crack, super short. I saw a full frontal butt naked the other week, she bent over to pat the dog with her dressing gown on & it came undone. :drool:

My cousin sits in the same chair Danny does & peeks over, he says "your neighbor is fucking hot eh" :lol:

There's a bloke (Kiwi BTW) over on ADV DRBIG thread that used to race his DR800 and drop the big road bikes. The photo's were there to prove it. The first heat he forgot his topbox and still came in high...

Crazy Kiwi... :rock:

spent a day on the alp :biggrin:

so pulled the carbs and found it all clogged up with old dried up fuel varnish?, yellow colored layer of crap stuck the needle in the seat in 1 carb and stuck the choke on the other
so gave em a go over opened up the fuel bowls and cleaned as much as possible without totally dismantling
blew out all the jets
Image
nice and clean in there :sherlock:
Image
this side too
Image
fiddly job getting those carbs out and back in :eekers:
Image
undressed
Image
and after all the work :shades:
Image
sorry for the bad footage, my cousin brian is a bit technically challenged :lol:
Image
anyway go's really well carbys need sorting, it's got a bit of a flat spot but i was stoked to ride it around :oilleak:
still chasing a carby kit for it :confetti:
