I love that chicken wire baffle mate, what was that supposed to achieve? ;D

To keep the chickens in Terry....sheesh..... 8)

Well I suppose stuffing a chook in there would quieten it down Mick, but it's kind of cruel, nonetheless. ;D

that last bike there is super sweet!

I might be wrong, but i think that's an australian dude's bike, he sold it on ebay here a while back.

It was an XR600 engine in a CB360 frame, the top engine mount lines up perfectly, and he made up the lower mounts, said he could lift the front off the ground in all gears i think :)

Here is a pic with the new FMF header and powercore 4 exhaust.


My rear shock is leaking so its going to need to be rebuilt. While that is getting done i will have the stator rewond at Baja designs.

Almost done with the fork swap. I replaced the seals and fluid. I had a problem mounting the pickup for the speedometer so i made a small bracket for it to mount to. I still need 1 bolt for the caliper. I am thinking about going black on the fork guards, headlight and fenders when i buy new ones so in the mean time i painted these to see how it would look.

Sourced a new bolt for the front caliper and rerouted the brake line. Put on a different wheel with a matching street tire. I found that with the 2 wheels i got for the front came with different length axles as well as different spacers. After some measuring I think i have the correct spacer and axle combo. These forks feel much stiffer then the XR forks. So here it is done for now.


Defiantly needs a different front fender. Here is a shot of the cockpit.
