this afternoon I also put the stage 3 DNA filter again ,
I forgot it makes a big big difference , the bike is so much more alive ... , and love the sound coming from the airbox ...

why I replaced the cables ? well they broke down the second time ,
I have the enduro high renthal handlebar and 2.5 cm risers and even by re-routing the cables still they had to much tension on them cause they broke down twice ,
so I removed the risers , and now I'm looking for a pair of lower footpegs (like sw motech) but I just find them way to expensive for some stupid metal pegs

and for those curious why both wheels are touching the ground when it's on the middle stand , it's due to the rising kit , it's very handy when removing the wheel cause it sit's at the right height for the rear wheel axle to be placed in :)
I just have to put it on a little higher surface when I want to grease the chain with turning the wheel ...

A couple "in use"

Hi apprentice adventurer

Has your front mudguard got a ally re-enforcement bracket on the udner side? i ask as i was going to put a little fender bag on the front like you have but didnt want to damage the mudguard.

P.S Kemizz i notice you have an Excel rim on the rear, is it on the standard hub?

I bought the front guard from Off The Road, its by polisport. The two halves of the guard overlap each other by about 100mm and are held together by three screws and nuts. But when you put the extra weight on it, then travel off road it can't cope with the weight. I have since reinforced it by adding rivets all over the two joints. Cant just use normal rivets, not long enough because the two halves of the guard overlap and are little thicker.

jep on the original one ,
my bike shop had to drill the holes bigger in the hub to make the thicker spokes fit the hub , but for the rest all fine

ok thanks. iv been thinking of making (somehow) a back bone for my mudguard that would sit on the under side to add some strength.

Man&machine ready for the new ridin' season, let the spring begin!!
