    Have a great trip gents!!!

    I must say that I am bummed to be not going on this one, but a tad relieved as well to be honest as I`m no fan of seriously cold conditions :whistle: :laugh:

    Enjoy and be safe

    Yeah,
    She was a wet day mate , and still is here :whistle:
    I had no voice with the flu symptoms by this arvo and the missus is happy about that :laugh: , glad I stayed indoors to tell the truth.
    Off to Sydney early tomorrow for a course so thought I`d better stay dry today and wimped it, loaded up on codrals and soothers instead :blush:

    Good to hear you guys are sorted and confident for the upcoming trip,
    Enjoy the adventure gents and good luck hey B)

    We played with the clickers & HS rebound when Deano first got his on a ride one day and he was more comfortable with the results.

    Great action shots once again Murph :woohoo:

    Great weather for riding today, especially after the wet yesterday and the night before :S
    100mm fell in places I think

    I`m off to the Wattos and out to Finchley/Yengo NP tomorrow with Jeffro and OFBM, should also be good weather for that I reckon :)

    Cheers

    Hey Jeffro,
    I will throw in my screwdrivers I use to adjust the clickers etc into the backpack for tomorrow if you want.
    I have the settings as far as standard, sport and full load if that is any use in the short term before getting the suspension retuned :whistle:

    The preload and sag adjustments would be out for you too mate, that makes a big difference to the rear (especially if old mate was a small bloke) :dry:

    I can email you the pdf file for the workshop manuals if you don’t have them also ;)
    Pm me you email address mate and I`ll send those tonight

    The wheels are balanced Lefty. It is not so much a vibration type shake it is where the bars wobble back and forth sort of like a high speed wobble.

    :huh: maybe 690 head shake mate. :unsure: have you got a steering damper?
    640 seems to be ok, but I have never ridden a 690.

    Left one ;)

    Rims balanced maybe, but have they been re balanced since fitting the new rubber ?? Could that be the difference :whistle:
    I haven`t rebalanced mine since fitting new tyres the past 4 changes of the front, but have had no evidence of shake (I do have a damper fitted though)

    Yeah Shane,
    Even at 36k Aus, then there would be import taxes and ADR compliance if possible :S
    Good luck with your search for info and availability.

    I`m sure it would be a magnet for admirers if you managed to secure one out here mate ;)

    I could be wrong, but would be surprised juat the same

    I thought the unofficial Wauchopian Mayor had already been demoted and Toes had been elected to tell the truth.
