It turns out my spare set weren’t all that flash either as someone in the past had jammed two rubber door stoppers down the tubes to give the spring a bit more pre load! :blink: :huh:
Anyhow, I got the forks in and she is ready to roll (hopefully) :whistle:
Rego is sorted, I even managed to score consecutive plates for the team NX machines!
It has been a very time consuming but satisfying project, considering this is how the bike looked when I purchased it off Kram for $200 a year or two ago.
I have lost count (or don’t want to know) how much I have spent on the two NX’s to get them up to speed for this Adventure but I am sure it will work out that it has all been worth my while in the long run!
Thanks to those that helped me get them both sorted in one way or another and a huge thanks to everyone who has put their hands in their pockets and donated some hard earned for Down Syndrome NSW.
And a big Thanks to TB for sorting out a route that will no doubt be a beauty!
Cheers
