just messin

The EO7 has been a little disappointing 7.5 k kms, not to bad and to be truthfull i can't fathom out whats left with this middle band !!



And as i can't go out without doing some dirt i banged this old Karoo back on


Bit of differance and the Karoo has over 8 k kms on it !!



Took her for a bimble and i'd forgot how well the Karoo felt for a nobby !!

That was yesterday !!! chain kit arrived today !!! so back on the lift



Goodies 525/47/16 and a 15





Old 520 chain !!! only 7.5 k kms on that too !!!




Now we're talking



Getting the old front of was hard work !! tight as hell or just a good fit



New front 16 on and there's not much room with the case saver !!!



ohhh and some blood

Great little tip from Pleiades i think it was !!! stick the spacers in with locktite



Split link fitted ........i always use these , easy to work on out there !!!



Thankfully the front 16 dosen't catch



And the finnished job.............................no i'm not cleaning it



Went for a little run to seat it in and passed my local black smiths

Stopped in and asked if he could blank of one of the cans, not a problem and did it there and then ..............rough as arse holes but i love it







Looks ok but i'll probably make some sort of tool tube



Also from the day i bought the bike its seemed VERY LOUD !!!! so i tookthe DB killers out for a look

The two black ones are out of the XT cans and have been cut down by the previous owner , i had the one on the right for my DR can.

The bend was slightly wrong but i fixed that with a vice and a BIG HAMMER, thinking WTF

It worked and sounds the ******



Anyone know where i can get a cheap tool tube ?

Cheers Phil
