    Wow! What an awesome setup you blokes have… free helicopter rides as well as a GPS track! That’ll get the masses in for sure. :silly:

    Hope he has ambulance cover, otherwise that could hurt the hip pocket more than the body! Hope you heal up quickly Lotsa!

    Saw the yellow TEN (Steve from ADV moto???) and another bike on a trailer east bound on Bells Line of Road at Bilpin about 1.30pm. A couple of lone Ten’s just after that and turning right from Chifley Rd onto The Darling Causeway about 2’ish a BIG Ten and a Husky 650 Terrawhatever they are called… it was wet and cold.

    Still a bad day riding is better than a good day at work! :whistle:

    Looking forward to reading all about this ride in the coming days!

    Cheers,

    What he said… NOW! ;)

    And I’d ditch the white walls… would improve resale ( maybe double it) instantly!

    Hey JTB, is the white front guard a preview to a possible future colour change ????

    Ssssshhhh… yes. :blush:

    Wife has OK’ed it! “When we win lotto…” she said. So I’m starting slowly. If we win lotto I’ll be buying a new paint job on a new bike, or three.

    …just elongated the mount holes a little in both cases to make them work.
    They weren’t very fair out to start with so it’s not as bodgy as it sounds :S

    Now there’s some skills I can relate to… but my work is not bodgy, it’s highly unskilled :blush:

    MarkR,

    I am literally in the middle of doing that right now.

    I bought a new current model WRF/YZF 450 UFO brand front guard off ebay for $35.

    Took the tow hook off. I was hoping that by some miracle the holes would line up… and they don’t. From my fiddling thus far I will probably (possibly/maybe) move the guard slightly forward and space the rear DOWN so it doesn’t contact the radiator. I have a B&B rad guard on so lose some space due to that.

    Here are some mock up shots I’ve taken with guard held by ONE bolt through WR original holes…

    IMAG0408.jpg

    The plastic is very SOLID one of my mates has the $240 Touratech version and the plastic seems less sturdy than the UFO. The benefit of the Touratech is that it bolts straight on, no messing around with spacers and hole drilling.

    When the job is done I WILL be taking the standard guard off… ;)
