Mick’s new BRP

[Mick DMember]

Well, we got on the beers and the spanners and started the conversion from road trim to bush trim on the new XR.

We fitted a set of Renthal fatbars, radiator guards, Pivot pegs, A Michelin rear knobbie and IRC front knobbie. Removed the speedo and fitted a trip meter. The rear blinkers got torn off too.
Checked the valve clearances and put some guard stickers on her.now at least she looks ready for the Bush. WE are heading out this morning ,destination unknown at this stage.

Before we took to her

Radiator guards and valves and new hangers

The rear axle was seized in and had to be flogged out before we could get rid of the road tyre

How she looks so far..

TB was a big help with this first part of the BRP’s transition and he kept cracking the whip on me even though I was more in the mood to stand around drinking beers, smoking and shooting the breeze with all the other fella’s here in the shed.
I am really stoked with the results so far and can’t wait to take her for a blast today!!

She’s very nice actually!! It had minimal scratches as it had been used as a road bike, It will be a sad day when I eventually scratch her up.
It went very well and I am happy with the purchase.
She still needs a bit of a cash injection to get her into bush mode proper,she will get there eventually.
Thanks to the likes of TB and Crash, I will be privy to some good XR info,I hope.
