BLeuuuurgh. Where did those picts come from, I'm sure they weren't there when I looked before. Nice suggestions Brian and Gaz- I had some acerbis copies from DirtBikeDepot, identical but half the price. Trouble is I've lost the narrow diameter fixy tube bits for renthals. They did save the levers though, so I could ride home. Trouble with them fouling levers, how did you get round that Brian without having a crappy inch of tube sticking out like mine did?

Gaz, respect. Your wife takes bike catalogues to work. That rocks. How much turmoil is your riding wardrobe

in, going from tassles and side lace leather trousers to motocross boots? Yup, 400 miles to first service, 4000rpm max. if I remember correctly. Make sure you get the handbook, its all in there.
My Mastiff isn't as tall as the Baggy, 830mm seat height instead of 900mm, but they squash down when you sit on them, and I love tall bikes. Its easier to spot the divvy car drivers about to pull out on you, better views on twisty roads, don't look like a great dane humping a jack russell riding it if you are over 6ft etc

Its the handguard MFG's who can supply a complete install kit only.... to re attach your handguards......

I took the levers off.... put them one at a time in a vise and cut the round shaped ball off the ends.... right where it flattenes to the lever proper.... I lightly filed the cut and bevelled the edge..... took some enamel black paint in the small glass container (hobby shop is a good place to buy) and lightly brushed on a decent coat covering the exposed alluminum (small artist type brush) or use some of your Black nail polish.

(sorry I really enjoy razzing you !)

Aaaah, sweet. What's it going to be when it grows up? Or is it like a gremlin, and you must NEVER ride it in the rain?

Brian,you are a craftsman. I'm glad I found out lots of you guys are m/c technicians, the standard of spannering on this site is ferocious.
However, your taste in nail polish is quite passe- black is just sooooo last season. Embarassed

I hope "razzing" means something else in the US of A, for the Queen's usage c.f. "razz mags": gentlemens reading matter with pics of naked ladies in them (not that I'm suggesting her Imperial Highness has ever looked at a razz mag,ma'am,bow,scrape)

Gaz, while your paintwork is new and clean, put some acrylic polish on it, like Crystal Glo, because its not that tough without it. First time I filled my new bike up I slopped some petrol and it blistered the paintwork by the tank. It seems to stop it chipping quite so easily.

Have you seen this months Used Bike Guide supplment 10 Superbargains p.10 "Top singles Worth a Spin"- yup our steeds are rated as one of the best kept biking secrets in uk biking. Our residual second hand values have just gone up at least 10% if you advertise in there.
