in anycase..... let's all calm down :angel5::angel5::angel5:

cheers

NO PROBLEM CAPT but i asked many times on the forum about doing the change over and had many replies saying that it could'nt be done or it would cost to much,that this did'nt fit or that did'nt match ,but i thought what the hell and tried it ,and found that it was very easy to do ,so when people tell you different WITHOUT EVEN TRYING it really gets on my tit ,fair enough if they have tried but if they havent they should say and just voice theyre oppinion

:3some:

Yes but I thought I had always mentioned also to other people, that it can be done provided you are prepared to change brake caliper and disc, as for the rear swingarm someone said the R its narrower, I didn't even pay attention to that cause we all know they have exact same swingarm (04-06 only models) and that the hubs on both the X and the R are exactly the same except for the spokes and rims of course.

Emphasis on the "I didn't even pay attention" often a quite life is better than bickering and keeping on disagreing with people. I just let it run as they like.

But you will have noticed that we have a tendency of keeping a very welcoming and absolutely friendly forum and at no time we would want it to be argumental between members. We are totally chilled, so even if someone is talking out of their backside we tend to live and let live, with the exception of b0ng0man of course where we all had to lay into him for the absolute tosh he spoke, that couldn't be helped not even in a room full of tibetan monks.

If something gets on your tits, then it's just one of those things that happen, you wanna see the amount of crap that gets on my tits and I just keep on ignoring it... bah..... It's Xmas let's be merry aye? :angel7:

On our next summer ride you should come an meet us, stay the night in a cheap B&B, we'll show you the sights ;)
