No idea how to upload the pictures so theres a link to an album.Site says I'm missing a security token when I tryn upload ?
There are about 10 pictures to view if you are interested .
I have just re painted her myself,I've no premisses so had to do it in the garden,hung everything on the washing line.
I referbed the swinging arm,moving torsion bar mounting to accommodate later n wider rear wheel.
Wheels were powder coated.
New (low mile s/h rear shock). All suspension n swinging arm bearings serviced/cleaned n re greased.
Added later model under seat splash guard and chain guard .
New wheel bearings front and rear.
New chain and sprockets.
Rear calliper stripped new seals fitted ,new fluid added .
New (low mile s/h forks overhauled) New oil seals n dust covers.
New steering head (Taper roller) bearings fitted .
Delkavic SS70 , 225mm oval stainless steel cans fitted to Motard Nexus stainless downpipes,I also bought and fitted baffles from them.Great sound IMO, god knows what it would be like without any in, it really is pretty damn loud !!
Seat re covered . A friend is a trimmer ,a good one at that . £80-90 depending on whats needed if you fancy a change, he will do any style you ask for.I drew up what I wanted and he made it so. He is based in West Midlands UK. Postal service available at extra cost.
I put Triumph Tiger 955i rear rack on her.
She sits on Maxxis Supermax Diamond tyres. 110 front , 180 rear.
So , thats my ride.

Sebastian , Thanks for the compliment.
The rack is of a Triumph Tiger 955i . I was looking at a Tiger with rack n eyed it up for size.The owner came back to his bike n was good enough to lift the seat n let me have a rough measure up.Seemed plausible so I got one n had a go ,I think it sits well n compliments the lines of the bike.
They DO NOT go straight on.That said very basic Diy needed ( Two holes need drilling ) in the rear crossmember that the grab rail n seat latch attach to.AFTER some carefull measuring. You will want Two large heavy Bolts (Think 17mm head size on the bolt) and a selection of suitable size washers/spacers , one side of the x member is higher than the other so one side has one less washer to even out the rack . The rack needs a little extra height to sit well so spacers/washers (What ever you have) are used to raise it .
I had large thick washers ( I used what was laying around) I decided to chamfer the inside of each top washer as the mating surface on the rack has a slightly raised shoulder . If you were to go and buy Bolts,Nuts and washers specifically for the job you could buy the exact sizes you need which would remove the need to file/grind to fit snugly.

Thank you Pete .
I see that you are in Oz . Much easier to do that down there.Bloody weather here has not reached Booth temperatures yet this year (25 Deg c) it was 18c the first two days I painted and plummeted to about 14 after that .Don't get me started on the flies ,leaves n pollen in the air n the arsehole neighbour 2 doors down (25ft) from where I was painting who lit a bonfire !!! The finish suffered in a few areas due to all of the above so it's not 100% , not what I'd call 100% anyway .
I have used professional products to refinish , you have to really ,no Halfords Aerosol . Its clear over Base also not solid colour which is best in my opinion.
