OK,
I have white (can be any colour you like with the use of a texta :laugh: ) nylon, m6 x 16mm long. Cap screw head with flat screw slot. May be able to find some more option tomorrow
You will just need to use staino nuts on the back (I have no nylon nuts) :whistle:
I will post on Monday if you like . Or tomorrow arvo if m6 x 16 is fine …..Cheers
Nylon fasteners are relatively easy to get hold of,,,
Think I have some downstairs actually… I can post you some Mick if ya like
Will check the size and get back to ya (think they are 6mm dia)Tweak it for sure
Preliminary job looks the goods though Mick ,,,I mounted a Kato Hardparts screen to mine last week, it has a kick in the top as well for that little bit extra deflection of the air :whistle:
Test rides are always a great excuse to get out too
There are`nt really any big probs with it Boony,,,
Its only a filter and as Murph stated,,,,, His sorted itself out & hasn`t been a problem since :whistle:We have all seen how he rides & the terrain he covers, so that`s a good enough test for me
I also have had no signs of any fuel pump or filter issues in 7000k
Just good clean fuel where possible & be careful around the filler cap when excessive dirt is presentTrailboss wrote:micknmeld wrote:Suck it up mate!! :laugh:Been through that shit and now have teenager, even more shit! Little kids are cheaper!
Suck it up Mick and go and clean his bike for him so he ride it again soon :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Wait a few years when your daughter starts dating

Hey,,, Ease up there :S
I am in the same boat with that one shortly :unsure: :pinch:
A Mongrel she is :laugh:Also I see MickP & Tryhard have had no real problems with theirs,,, and they have been LOADED UP :whistle:
Yeah the 9 litre tanks are a tad small (especially for the price) :S But the Safari tank is butt ugly and uncomfortable to ride with I think from some reports,,, butt ugly can be lived with for the mileage I suppose but I thin 300+ k is of for me at this stage. A bladder is always an option Like Left One carriesCheers
Oh yeah,,, Sorry Krusty for the thread hijack,,,, But YOU started it mate :laugh:Similar to breaking frames on DR650`s ??? :blink:
I have read about plenty of guys ride reports with 690`s loaded up (after changing the tank bolts, upper & lower, run the braced touratech rack and most have no probs)
I get 200k from my standard tank (riding like a girl apparently) so another 9 litres will suffice for most of my planned trips. Can also run a bladder or maybe Rotopax if needed I suppose….I guess I am rather, no very inexperienced in the subject, but I reckon they are ok
:laugh:Your right there Krusty
It is a machine with little more than 100k on it too I believe after talking to Scotty the other day :whistle:
They are the same tanks (Rally Raid) that Deano has installed on his ride up here in Newy & I hope to do the same this year sometime,,,
Not going the full fairing though :SGood Luck whichever way you go Boulder
It seems Murph (the new one) is either a tad shy or busy working :whistle:
An update should be available soon,,, If all goes well, He is looking a making a new purchase real soon & joining the fun

The locals usually are not keen to ride there at Easter :dry:
Too many people they reckon ,,,I will be there 9 days myself,, relaxing in the shade :laugh:
