    Warning !! My ondervinding met hierdie 2 Bike Shops.

    01)  A1 Bikes Oudtshoorn : Was daar om kwotasie te kry vir spesifieke werk. Eienaar vra R350.00 vir kwotasie alleen,aangesien "almal" slegs kwotasies by hom vra en hy nooit die werk  kry nie. Ek het nie kans gesien daarvoor nie en op pad na my bike, het Gerhard (die eienaar) my gevolg met sy...

    Solved: Advice needed on exhaust modification plse.

    @ KTMKobus, Ja Kobus, Jy`t dit miskien net gemis, maar dit was 1 van 2 oorwegings in my OP waaroor ek net nie seker was nie, Alhoewel dit die maklikste opsie is, was ek net nie seker of dit die beste opsie sou wees nie. Ek was bang dat daar nog steeds te veel hitte sou wees vir die...

    So you think you're hardcore ... ?

    A very young guy currently working in George, has a KLR 250 and he and his girlfriend go to Pretoria every 3 months to visit his parents. Look at the ammo crate he converted as panniers.

    Solved: Advice needed on exhaust modification plse.

    @ Oshkosh, I live +- 400kays from Cape Town, therefore it will be  a job for the local exhaust people, but thnx anyway. @ TheBear, Nie worry nie  Beertjie. Ek ken jou ook nou al `n tydjie op die Forum en weet daar is nie `n greintjie geniepsigheid in jou nie. Dis hoekom ek in my post gesê het...

    Solved: Advice needed on exhaust modification plse.

    @ TheBear, Ek het gedink om net die tailpiece af te sny en om te draai, maar was nie seker of dit nog steeds baie hitte so naby die panniers/soft luggage gaan veroorsaak nie. Sal `n bitter duur les wees as my denke verkeerd is. Ek stem saam met wat jy sê oor die KLR, maar dis nog steeds my...

    Solved: Advice needed on exhaust modification plse.

    @ TheBear @ Oshkosh Nope, sallie werkie. The muffler is welded to another pipe with bends and then it fits into the header pipe.

    WANTED: KLR650 Hand Guards

    Are you referring to those big plastic elephant jobbies ? If indeed, they are more than useless. Rather spend a few bucks and get decent stuff, like Bark Busters ( expensive) or Cycra (less expensive but the same)  :thumleft:

    Solved: Advice needed on exhaust modification plse.

    Kawasaki KLR 2008  model. Before any racks for either soft luggage or panniers can be attached to my bike, the exhaust muffler must be modified first. Refer to attached pics: 1) Can only the bend be cut off, then welded back on again with bend facing downwards ? 2) or should the bend be cut...

    Motobags from lone rider

    I agree, those bags look awesome ! Unbelievable however is their claim that the Motobags will not get damaged during a fall. I have never heard of anything which is damage proof. You guys with the experience regarding panniers, don`t you think they are a bit overpriced ? No matter how one...

    Another reason for ATGATT

    I prefer to work with cash only, therefore i have to save for anything i want to buy. Not so with the crowd who use credit cards, hp, e-bucks and whatnot and then i also read abt some people asking for crowd funding for all sorts of bright ideas. When i look around me, it looks like everybody...

    Another reason for ATGATT

    Let me guess. You keep all the ATTGATT at home and just wear it on that "special" day, you know for sure you`ll be in a prang ? :eek7: Oh why,why, am i not be able to see in the future  like some people ?  :3some: It would really make a difference in my life. :lol8:
