New grips or re-installing old grip:

At home: If all else fails and you don’t have fancy grip glue apply some good quality cloth tape to your handlebars where the grips will sit. Especially good when you think you have cleaned the bars good enough but really you haven’t.

In the bush: Grips spinning on the bars? Peel off some cloth tape and apply some petrol (95 or 98 is fine hahaha) to the glue. Scrape off the glue quick and apply to handlebars. Push on the grips. Abracadabra you all owe me a beer.

Well done Ollie was just about to say the same thing. I’ve got a nice “rusted from the inside out” powdercoated example here. Wasn’t done by me but regardless powdercoating is good for street bikes maybe, not for dirt bikes.

Mine will be one out of the 5 burning the good oil. There will be no 2t sacrificing on my watch haha.
Teknik posted my bouncers today so will be set for assembly and test ride before the ride. What trailer are we using Rocket? Your 6×4?

Update: Suspension arrived. All good to go.

Definitely damp. Nice shots there Murph. That gasser likes being on the back wheel!

My understanding was you don’t have to fill the whole pipe up. Just the section you want popped out has to be filled. When is say filled I mean air cannot pass through that section of pipe. The water freezes and expands against both sides to pop dent out with less stress than filling the whole pipe up. If that don’t work then go to plan b.

You’ll sell it Luke no problem. Especially on eBay you will. “It’s gotta go!”
I’ve spent too much money on mine. Not for sale anymore. Good luck!

It has been a while.

Dammit Duncan your going to at least invite me on one of those northern exposure trips will ya?

You’ll want a fancy pipe guard on it I would say. Would want to go through that again after flattening it.
I think custom builds like this are a great idea. Well done.

[AlexMember]

Ah there’s an idea TB: 520 DID chain and 13/52 sprocket set for ’08 300XCW thanks mate if you have room in your baggage haha….

[AlexMember]
