Krustys Banana

[GregMember]

Well the banana brigade has been here this morning :laugh: (Krusty and Owl 2)
Krusty the man with no shame had the cripple (me) measure and set his rear ride height . Couldnt get it right as he needs a heavy spring so he is going to give Brad a ring tomorrow.

We discussed up and coming work on the banana, damper (under bar or over bar), radiator braces, graphics, chains, sprockets, tyres, his mobile workshop storage facility on the back guard :laugh: , and repacking steering head bearings.

Its a nice ride with a nice note and a good buy Krusty well done

I knew you were bored and needed something to do!! :laugh:

Well after getting back to the hood OWL02 parked his bike and OWL01 fired up the XR and we went for another ride.. This time to North Sydney as My computer room aircon at work was alarming.. Its f*&^%ed and I’m waiting on the emergency call out bloke.. OWL01 has abandoned me and headed back.. Looks like I will get to try out the front headlight this evening…

I won’t get to play in the dirt until next weekend… First dirt ride? How’d she go…

[ChrisMember]

Some more pics.. Cleaned up and Krustified….

TB gave me so much shit for my rear tool bag that I will try out a bumbag tool pack.. Seems what everyone does and seems to be the easiest to keep a bag off the rear fender for general riding…

Hardy Har Har… :laugh:

Ok so I removed my suitcase and loaded up my used and abused Tool Pack Bum Bag that TB was nice of enough to loan me(It even came with money).. Initial impression was good as everything fit nice and comfy.. I will have to wait until the weekend to see how comfy it is around me waste..

Fluids changed.. small unobtrusive bag added to the rear for small items.. Changed front brake pads and re-routed brake cable and speedo cable as they were on the outside instead of the inside.. I removed the stickers off the spare set of tank fin plastics and fitted them. I wanted to keep the good ones nice for tee and cee to fit up (thanks for the tip TB). I also aligned my barky’s so they are not facing down but level.

Ready to play

I think they are meant to be on the outside so they don’t get pinched or squashed between any foreign object that may get in there and the spinning wheel. Not sure about the brake line but the speedo cable has always been on the outsiden on mine.

I thought on the outside they can get damaged by sticks, rocks etc. They should be routed around to the back of the fork leg as well so the leg protects it as well. :blink: But you know about thought :laugh: :laugh:

Sorry, my mistake. I just went and checked and they are both on the inside.
