hi oldhead, tyres are Bridgestone 120/90 18 Battlax BT45 rear and Bridgestone 100/90 19 Battlax BT39 front, a nice riding combo.


Gday Scunny, looks way better with the new tail section mate..... ;)

thanks for the compliments Rich and Mick. the old shape was to appease the boys for certification, thought I better use the original tail light then. now I have the look I was after. nothing a crash course in fibreglassing couldn't do. new tail light is from an XR250 and had the low profile that could be used.
would have prefered aluminuim but that's another skill to be tried later, so in the interim just painted it with the same paint as the engine cases.

I would like to add to that , sometimes i wear a sweater in winter.... ;D  . Our winter here in Brisbane is like summer in a lot of the US and definitely in Canada....probably warmer.... ;D.....The downside is that our 2nd hand bikes usually have lots of miles on them...... ;)

Too bad it's so hard to emigrate, RR.  I might 'accidentally' sneak over there once I'm out of school.
