Where did ya get the brake lines from Dabs ?

 

Favs, are you buying it anticipating getting numb bum when ya get back riding ?  I remember you saying summat about it a while ago, 500 miles max ?

 

I reasoned that once we're allowed out of prison I'd likely be out of shape and in need of a better seat in order to take increased advantage of the 9er. Yeah I'm restricting myself to 500miles as a approximate daily maximum - while I may be twice the man I was (mass), I'm not half as fit as I was, (still good-looking tho - ta Cliff  )

After a loooong layup, finally began the process to return it to use. New gel battery - cue 'issues' with the alarm. Long story short, I followed guidance on the interweb and bridged the appropriate pins on the connector plug, and behold! the Kraken wakes

 

Now to unSORN it, change the fluids and advertise it for sale.

Wezmoto on ebay Studs, ordered 20mm longer and i always forget the left line is longer anyway, should of just had the right side longer  sorted anyhoo, the Venhills will be going up for sale before long, Venhills much easier to fit i find with the swivel end.

Yeah, it's not so much the miles, it's how one feels at the end of it.   a 2 week euro tour would sort you out matey.  Not that there's much chance of that soon mind.

sorted out my engine bars;

 

They got a bit scratched (due to the bike falling over either side) and I wanted to fit some GS style highway pegs which needed a larger tube.

 

Got the tubes welded in and powder coated at Atherton Creative Engineering ACE

Dan has done great job

I thought they were GS pegs but could be wrong. They were talked about in the forum somewhere

the puck I got from aliexpress and they are bolted together with rubber spacers

Gs it is, was Ramo who had some initially..cheers matey..

Test ride  TSellerie seat

[Studley Ramrod]

Any Robin Hood Al ?

Hi Ian.
Did around 100 miles yesterday and another 100 today. TBH it is deffo better than the stock seat but I cannot recommend the purchase of this seat (std height n length with gel F n R), for folk my lardiness just yet . I need to have a longer ride in order to see when it becomes uncomfortable.
I'll update in the near future I hope.

[Studley Ramrod]

Must be difficult to compare with having done so few miles the past year or so.

[dablik]

I struggled with the Gel seat on my 9r, did'nt seem to make much difference from a normal padded seat except it was bloody roasting in sunnier climes and hard in the winter, generally i can manage big miles on a regular seat, well could anyhoo, i'm not rubbing your arse again Al

You keep telling yourself that and you may get away with the need for counseling....

I bet jim just said he was "fixing it" for you too.

Washed and lubed. Not too shabby for a 2002-er, paint is still near perfect.

Riding to work this week - finally!

moved 8 chainsaws and 3 hedge trimmers out of the way, looked at No7 and thought  'i'll pull the carbs of this weekend and clean them'.
