    $200 US + postage for Bullet Proof Designs Rad guards…… bit steep!!

    They’re actually Blais guards, $189 from their own site:

    Hey mate, on the hunt for a good pair of rad guards. I’m looking for a pair that will work with the Acerbis LR tank.

    No engine damage, could have thrown a chain and the engine case has been repaired. ??? I might forward these pics to Reid Engineering in Geelong to see if they could work some magic.

    Thanks Mick, yeah i pinched the avatar from the Staintune website.

    I’ll keep the pics coming as the rebuild continues. I need some welding done on the sub frame and WB Exhaust pipe. I’m hoping to get it done in Geelong.

    Just heading down to the shed now to get a close up of the frame damage, fingers crossed it won’t effect a RWC!!!

    Cheers,

    TB, thanks for the heads up mate.

    Here is a pick of the frame, I’ll get a close up shot tonight. The damage is on the inside where the chain runs past. Don’t know how I missed it!!!! Should have left my 7yr old at home!!!!

    Cheers,

    I’ve pulled out the rear shock, and called Teknik Suspension for advice and cost for rebuild / revalve and spring. $600 was quoted, does this sound right?

    Also, I have notice some frame damage (missed it during purchace inspection) on the inside left hand side (chain damage). Will this pose a problem come RWC time?……. fingers crossed!!!

    Oh yeah, my brother just brought a 2001 XR650R in Broome.
