Drop that in a bike chassis for the ultimate non-wheelie !

Hey shot on getting that solid oldtimer ! I'd start with a complete carb take-down. I've restored many old thumpers and the carb is INEVITABLY going to be a problem. How is the compression ? The state of the air filter ? If it's got a well maintained air filter you'll be in luck. Most old...

Oh no, disaster !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Something FAILED on my 94 DR 650 I had to solder a new wire to the tail light , vibration loosed the solder joint !!!! AT LAST SOMETHING TO WORK ON !!!! My 94 DR is as boring as my flippin Hilux 4x4 , nothing ever goes wrong. *yawn* >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D

I met a wee girl called Yuki , ALONE , deep in Kaokoland near the Angolan Border.  Her bike had a headlight grill which, on close inspection, was where she stored her clothes pegs. Her bags were the same bags the Tibetan's use when travelling by Yak , held by two wooden rings that line up with...

Loop soos hin mielieboer se trekker ja !  Ride it like I stole it. Flipping boring, nothing ever needs fixing. Wait, that's a lie , I changed the tail light bulb last year.  :ricky: :ricky: :ricky:

Keeping the thread alive as not been here in a long long time.  :bueller: Here is a pic just to say my 94 DR just keeps on keeping on , the Toyota Hilux With No Aircon of motorcycles !!! Recent hectic floods in the Anysberg area of the little Karoo meant destroyed roads and no access to my...

Who would have guessed that such eloquence, humour, subtlety, and good ENGELS , could be forthcoming from such a small town as Uniondale  :lol8: , let me know when you feel the need for a hamburger  :spitcoffee:

Oh hell. Thats bad. All that gear might have caused a mass-moment of inertia around the column axis ? I you can't flex the rear wheel relative to the subframe it can't be that .... You'll have to do a benchmark run, clean,  and a loaded up run, over the same bit of rough, to figure this one out ?

:imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer: Hey , why's it so clean ?

Fuggit , celebrate the fork seals with a pic taken tonight :

I've just done my fork seals , in the bag. Hate that job. Ready to roll again. I said it before and I'll say it again , I am continually surprised how well these oldtimers GO ! At 5000 rpm it smooths out and gets angry ...and keeps getting angry...... I ride mine like I HATE it , like I'm...

Like I always say , when you've completed the project , you're perfectly qualified to begin it  :thumleft: Really like what you've done here with the green thang , brilliant , and original !

Dude are your fork seals new or original ?  If original , like my 94 , they are about to pop , like mine did , today ! *dribble* Those there them polymers are brittle with age , even if low on km. It's the little things that get Amageza'd ! Justa warning ya ! :bom:

Triangulation is your friend !  :lol8:

I'd be careful of putting head torches close to your face. The light could attract every airborne gogga for miles , you could end up with a visor load of mayonnaise ! That's more what the red lights are for , illumination without the bugs. And yes, night vision. Most insects head for white...
