Is it way too small? A bit of work with the heat gun or hot water could soften it enough to fit if it's close. Maybe some rubber friendly grease as well.

again, many thanks. I may have been away but eh, I still looked in many times and hassled Alison and Leith to post for me occasionally :P to answer what I've done with bikes of late is..very little. Awaiting spring to sprong and hopefully with some rain kickstart some projects back to life. Lozza, your comment doesn't even warrant an answer ::) all I can say is if you don't run TS185 shocks you don't know what you're missing! ;D

Thanks Doc, just about done if I could find the %$## brake levers. I like to use NOS or pegs with good tight pivots for the pegs and brake lever .... nothing worse than flogged pegs chattering about. I need a new spark plug and repair a couple of threads in the triple trees and I think she is done.

I took Luke  advice and changed out the guard to Preston Petty since the photos/

Mate, it's all down to personal tastes, but that guard just felt wrong all the way. It does look good. Different - and I think that crazy swing-arm is growing on me more every day.


oh and Chris - JR50C's rock!  ;D
cheers!
