Are you gonna rub your nuts on it like Moto’s?

If it’s for a DRZ then it will fit over the guards Al. There are a few brands out there but Safari and Acerbis are probably the most popular with Safari being an Aussie product. I have a 22 litre Safari tank on mine whith Force guards and no problems. I will get over 400 km to a tank I’d reckon, haven’t had the chance to run it out yet but have done up to 360km with a few litres left in it

I got caught out with a loose sprocket once, I put a new sprocket on and went riding in the bush about 10km from my place. While I was riding around I could hear the occasional rattle sound but couldn’t work out what it was until it was too late. By that time I was down to 2 bolts and in those days I didn’t carry any tools. I managed to do one all the way up finger tight but couldn,t moove the other one. I tried to ride home nice and steady but only managed to get out to the road and about 1 km on the tar before I ripped one of the lugs off. Had to ring my son to come and pick me up but not before I had pushed the bike about 5km to get reception.
Welded the hub to build it up and make a new lug and put a new sprocket on, tightened it up good I thought, then after I put the wheel back on decided to recheck the bolts and was able to get another full turn out of each one. When I tightened them the first time I was turning the bolt and holding the nut. Problem with that is the the tapered head of the bolt starts to bind on the recess of the sprocket making it feel like the bolt is tighter than it really is.
So long story short, make sure you do the tightening on the nut and not the head.

Hey Jeffro are you carrying your swag for an emergency overnight stay everyday?

I was thinking I might keep the swag with me for emergencies, and no, no tyres yet. There were some other things he was ordering for me too but I can’t remember what they were. The Biketique (is that right) barkbusters I got haven’t been fitted yet either, the bar end mounts are too big to fit in my bars. I was thinking of changing the bars anyway but will have to try a few out to see what will be comfortable, definately nee to be a bit higher though.

Happy birthday Justo, and on a Friday too. Big drink and small hangover wishes mate.

Make sure you glue the new one on Boony, the first one I bought came off during the first ride never to be seen again. It was the biggest weekend ride but it only made it as far as the Sydney offroad racing club track, at least that’s where I noticed it was gone. Araldite has had mine in place for over 12 months now.

,,,,oh, and you will need a large hammer and a very sharp chisel to get the old one off

You weren’t in Balangalow were you Boony?

Andyz Strapz Panniers

---

I’m not using them so it’s time for them to go.

Two complete sets (yep, two) of

Andyz Strapz Expedition panniers (retail $330)

Pair of Andyz liner bags (one red one blue – for organisation purposes) (retail $30 each)

Pair of Pacsafe exomesh 55 liners (these are great – fit your gear into the liner bags, put the exomesh over them and put the lot ino the panniers, you can then lock them to your bike and not worry about your gear in front of the pub, etc) (retail $120 each)

Total cost per set when new: $330 + $60 + $240 = $600. How does $300 per set sound?

All in excellent nick – only used for one run – panniers are a bit dusty but tht’s it.

Located in sunny Canberra.

:ohmy: That would be right :angry: , once again I have gone off prematurely

Welcome Viking, the Tamworth chapter is growing steadily. We have a Nundle ride coming up in 2 weeks

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

Looks good

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

Sorry mate, it’s under the seat

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

There is a cover screw over the actual retaining bolt like White Rocket said from memory. You need a screw driver to remove it, then an allen key to remove the retaining bolt. Pull the pads out, push the ram back in, fit the new pads in place (you need to hold them until the retaing bolt is back in and Bobs your half brothers cousin.
