Skies ek het nie geantwoord nie woestynhond, was in Rwanda vir die laaste twee weke. Ek sal die naweek hopenlik bietjie tyd kry om bietjie te karring aan my scooter.  Will so bietjie die pre-load op stel , bike sak so bietjie te veel na my sin as ek opklim. Ek het 'n plan vir die mirros...

Asb ja.  Prys?

Great tip thanks! Rode the DR to work yesterday and today. The first thing I noticed being in the traffic is the useless mirrors.... I cannot see past my arms/shoulders and NO I am not built like the Hulk nor do I weigh 200kg... What do everybody else do ? just some extender bars or...

Both yes, thanks for the tips. Will go look for some scotch brite. If the pipes are stainless I can probably also use fine grit sandpaper....? Will probably have a go first at making my own bash plate and luggage rack. and when I get tired of my ugly diy attempt I will buy one (if Lecap makes...

Got my DR this morning, spent half the day rinding it on every dirt road I could find in my area! What  a bike! So light and maneuverable compared to the dakkie I am used too! Only took a quick pic when I offloaded it... then jumped on and went riding.  Whats the recommendation for polishing...

Hi everyone, I need some advise regarding the purchase of a bike on gumtree. I went to look at the bike and ride it, all good. Nice guy and my gut tells me all is kosher. But you never know...what do you recommend is the best way to proceed. would have paid cash but @ R40k I will be the one not...

Thanks for the input guys. Now only to convince the wife thats its worth the extra cash  :dousing:

Thanks for the pictures Crab. The few cosmetic mark don't bother me much and I reckon that to be expected in my price range... Biggest concern is the fact that the bike is still not on his name and the the previous owner is deceased. So I offered R35 on condition he first gets the paper...

Crab is sending me some extra photos tonight  ;)

Thanks Crab for doing this! This is why WD is such a great forum! Where else will you get someone that will do a "complete stranger" a favor like that!  :thumleft:
