Mines worn really thin on my 650 Dave, its plastic, I may switch to an alloy with the end trimmed for the bark buster, I loved the alloy one it was very smooth but must have been the angle of the dangle when it fell over, but can I still run the bearing and B/B dave?

I suppose if the bike is dropped, an alloy tube could bend or kink and bugger up the throttle movement.
Plastic might self recover better :unsure:

No Mate you have it backwards, the plastic will tear and bend then let dirt into the tube, the billet alloy wont do that and if it does get enough force into it to make it kink, you wont be riding more than likely, well you will be riding….an ambulance to the hospital….or if you are real lucky a helicopter…..lets hope that never happens hey

I had an alloy billet closed throttle tube on an XR600 a couple of years ago, it was a ballards one with a bearing in it, it came on the bike when I bought it 2nd hand, anyways it fell of the stand on a hillside and bent it and jammed and was no good anymore :dry: So I fitted bark busters a plastic one and no dramas anymore, need B/B to protect the ends I reckon

Choppers plastic OEM one feels funny on the carbon fibre bars, it has a funny feel when it rotates on the bars

It was bloody ordinary on Sunday I can assure you! And still covered with 4WD’s. We went around rather than deal with the dickhead factor.

Different Boulders hill ECKS, the one at the Wato’s is the one Ollie is talking about.

What are we doing friday Mick, whats Fridays ride?

TB

[GregMember]

Thats such a kick in the teeth for Damien, would be so dirty :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

[GregMember]

Would be great to see some more Safari bikes, there was a KTM 690 rallye at the Motor show, it had a 160 rear desert, massive rear tyre, 45 litre fuel tank and all the gear

That 48 litre tank XR650 that Hoffman had with Glen Bell ride at the High Country Ride we did was unbelievable to watch, full of fuel and on the gas

Am doing tyre changes at Mick’s friday afternoon after the friday ride, Mick has already contracted me for one rear, cost is two bundies per tyre, I am doing my rear including a mousse so if you want one changed thats the place to be, will do others for free, just charge Mick lol :laugh:

[GregMember]

Hey Crash can you talk to Wal regarding parking for this ride?
