No, but a friend of mine recently confided that he pimped his XT500 with a monoshock conversion to make it look cool (this was in the early '80s), little surprise that the bike's handling went out the window

I've suffered some self inflicted damage (a small hole) on the radiator of my KTM 640Adv. Any tips on fixing this? Alternatively, has anyone got a left hand side 640 radiator for sale?

Thanks for sharing. I hope I leave similar memories for my kids
