    Yeah my 1st XR600 was done, only thing is if the bike is a trail bike and has a steering lock fitted you need the fill the slot in the inner tube (triple tree tube, bottom clamp to top clamp) if you don’t the grease will fill the inner tube as well, the grease than takes the easiest route and will come out the bottom of the triple tree all over the tyre and the top all of the top triple tree.

    That said, yes I think its a good thing and am planning to do my bike and my suspension linkage soon.

    I never had to fit brgs to that XR.

    Do XR;s have suspension the one’s I’ve riden and owned had something but not suspension:woohoo:

    Randy bugger?? I looked at it as a moderator to ensure it was in keeping with the strict posting rules we have here at OBT.LOL

    i rode up to motos today to get my camera. there are some photos on there that may not be in keeping with obt posting rules.

    while i was up there i tried the nx out on stokton beach for a little bit. i think i need to ditch the motard wheels and add a steering damper. (maybe more than just pack the steering stem). i felt like thoes dakar guys with there heavy bikes, just without the speed and skill
