Great to see how the...

    Thanks for that. Yes I see mixing stainless with aluminium is not really metalurgical best practice either. I see they also offer normal steel or high tensile spokes. Seem the normal steel nickel plates is more popular choice for offroad stuff.

    Yeah perhaps I'm being to anal about this, although these pics are scary (not mine) ...yet I'm gonna take my tyres of this weekend. If its bad then I'm going to get everything blasted and powdercoated. R250 per wheel, what the heck. I think black is probably more practical though.

I've been keepin my eye out and every AT I come across either on the road or in a shop has some degree of corrosion to the wheels. A birdie told me that one...

    Snafu R187 is not bad price. I ordered one from Wemoto which was around R190 but then they added R23 shipping charges  >:( I did receive it after about 10 days but I haven't used it yet. Will definitely try CLANTECH's setup in the pic when next I have to change plugs.

    I've thouroughly checked for any oil leaks and don't see anything. Zorst is quite black so I'm assuming we're blowing by the rings or valve stem seals. Got quote from Honda Helderberg: New rings: R540-00 per piston ??? Top End Overhaul kit (gaskets, valve seals etc) R1600-00 :o So for R2700...

    Snafu I've only had the bike for about 2 months. PO never mentioned anything oil related so I can't tell you if it has a history in this regard. It used a pint up and one down so roughly 500ml oil per 450km. Do you know of a workshop with a relaible mech around here? thanks
