A few of you may already know that I have been working on a XR600 motard for a fella, it wouldn’t go even after several people had “looked at” it. I spent several hours dicking around with different stock carbies and it would go but it wasn’t “happy”.
I eventually talked the owner into forking out $429 for a 39mm Mikuni flat slide carbie. I bolted the new carbie in and after one priming kick the XR fired up and sat there and idled happily. A test run up the road proved that it was indeed very happy with its new carbie!! So a longer test run was needed and I spent Saturday arvo, having a ball on some of the twisty roads around Rollands Plains and Beechwood. It went so good and I was having so much fun on it that I didn’t want to give it back to the owner!! I now have a plan in my head to build one for myself in the future.
Here it is just before I took it out for a spin. It is a wild bit of work.
Sunday, saw me with a leave pass to do what ever, so I dragged the Harley out of the shed and headed off and ended up 170kms away at Seal Rocks, where I met up with a few mates that I haven’t seen in years. A beer and a yarn with them was a great way to spend some time before I headed back north on the big girl, she doesn’t handle potholes on gravel roads all that well but after riding 2000kms recently on the NX with a blown rear shock, I soon got the hang of the way the Harley “didn’t” handle the dirt. I ended up clocking up 340kms for the day and the Harley didn’t miss a beat, not bad for an old girl with over 90,000kms on the clock!

Actually Lefty you would be battling,it is taller than it looks, it is the camera angle that makes it look smaller than it is, you will notice my left foot is on tip toe.
