OWL 02 (Gaz’s) Banana

[GregMember]

Boony Gaz asked me to post these for your, just for you. He said its how your Banana should look if you clean it properly after a ride (we should have ridden it thru the mud at the poker run Boony :laugh: )

Yeah it does get ridden, but also gets a good clean :laugh:

I have it here to do some work on it. The forks are out and at Teknik’s to get setup for the 28 litre Safari tank Gaz has bought. They will get a re-valve and springs. I picked up a new rear spring that I will fit to the shock tomorrow morning. The steering head bearings will get greased as the factory does a shit job and all back together for Gaz to take to Vic next weekend

Hey Boonsta, Doesn’t look to bad does it. Happy to let you ride it through the bog hole on the next Poker run. It won’t matter how dirty you get it, as it will always come up a treat.

TB did say that it needs to be thrown down the road though.

Cheers Gary

I’m not riding with you Owl. You must never fall off. I can’t see a scratch on the plastics anywhere. I thought I did a reasonable job cleaning my bike but it is filthy compared to that. Even the header pipe and radiator hoses are pristine. What’s the secret to you technique. Name those magic products you use.

[RoyMember]

I clean mine straight away too. Still couldn’t get it that good even back when new.

Just as I suspected Krusty.
No cake on the header and no scuffs on the handguards equals new bike.

Its new enough but he goes the extra yard cleaning it and it is possible, you only have to look at the dirty crud covered exhaust I sold the Mayor, a little elbow grease and wow.

Ok,
TB is putting the DRZ back together with the Tekniks forks. He has also done the rear spring and greased the steering bearings. We may even get time to fit the new safari tank in the morning. Greg has come across a set of panniers and bags at a good price. The seller says they will suit a DRZ400S or SM. The question I need answered is, will they go on my DRZ400E ?

Can anybody help me here.

Cheers Gary

It wasn’t cake on the headers TB sold me it was freaking Terracotta. :laugh:

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

I am pretty sure they bothe use the same frame just different suspension and stuff so they should fit. If not it would only be a minor tweak to make them.

[Gary BloxsomeMember]

Good one Jeffro Thanks

The Oz DRZ400E pretty much has the S subframe without pillion peg mounts. This subframe extends further under the rear guard to support the extra weight of the rear guard extender and tail light/indicator setup. The US E model does not have any of this shit thus the subrame stops at the seat/muffler mount and can’t support rear racks.

At about a 1/3 of the cost of what they would normally cost if money could have bought them and you want to whine about cleaning them :dry: Give them back I will pay for the cleaning and sell them elsewhere to someone that appreciates them

I will post some photos of the steering head bearings before I packed them, they had no grease in the them. Honestly Suzuki should be shot there was nothing in them, will post the photos later
