Crikey thats an old pic..... there's some good dents in that side of the tank now

There's a new oversize piston in the shed waiting for the crate of engine parts to come home, then we can start putting it back together

I'll get Ally to sign her posts.....
Not sure when the rebuild will be. She was having a look at the French ebay type thing and just about wetting herself with all the goodies available in France.
We have to have a biking holiday in Aus first then the BIG needs a bit of work then the Ten gets a look in
Priorities see..

A set of Shinko 705's arrived today
<$200 from Bits4Bikes (20% off this month).

Now to find a spare wheel set...

From concept...


To implementation...


To finished product...




Nice air gap so hopefully there won't be turbulence at 120kph...

Kiwi ingenuity

You should put the dimensions in PDF Nord`s for other readers, and the little mascot is that from the DR or is he a new one.

Mezo.

He's a new one. Well he's been riding a snowboard, blutac'd to my monitor for a few years now.

I'll have to measure it up.

Once I'd picked the height and top width then it was a matter of doing the 2nd set of triangles to get the angle correct and the outside bits to go flush with the existing bits.

It rides well too. No shaking, gets pressed back slightly into the GPS and the wind hits about top of shoulders.
About as effective as my Givi on the DR for quite a bit more $$.
The Givi was free, this one cost me a $24 rubbish bin. Took the template up town and searched until I found a bin with the right colour and shape.

Not sure how a coloured screen would go as they'd whiten up on the creases.

What to do with spare rubbish bin bits...

Handguard extensions...

Keep the cold/mud off. Especially as I'm going to get roosted at the cross country...

After a few rides now, I can say it's a success.
Wind is manageable and without turbulence, gorse is deflected and even leaned right forward, the screen isn't in my way.

I made sure it'd be easy to remove for racing but I think it'll be left on. No reason to remove it really.

Footpeg time.
Got these off eBay for $40nz


They're for a Dr650 but fit quite a few bikes...
