Thats good to here,,,im thinking i might not bother doing up my tanks on the PE or IT now,  i can see his tank covers going on

thanks LWC for that article. I now see why the 400 motor wouldnt fit. do these tank covers cover the whole tank or just the side?

[LWC82PE]

yes whole tank. the photo on his website shows a PE one.

you have the option to have the printed logos on the side, tool bag on top, clear map pocket, black edging, etc. he has a number of options that will vary the total cost.

[JC14]

how much do these tank covers cost?

[LWC82PE]

dont know. email the seller. price varies depending on what features you want, eg coloured logo, map pocket etc. i havent bought one, only inquired.

[JC14]

how do i get in contact with the seller?

I have an '82 PE 175 that has been fully restored.  I also have a '80 PE 250T.  I want to put the 250 motor in the 175 full floater.  Any chance I can get a copy of your article on the conversion?  I am new this forum and I live in Northern California, USA.

The 1982 Full Floater PE175 is one of the sweetest Pre85 Enduro bikes ever built. Having rebuilt one from the ground up with the only performance mods being a sectioning of the expansion chamber to remove the internal baffles, a small Pro-Circuit muffler, a set of Boysen reads along with a port clean up and you have a bike that you can ride all day with out being torn a new asshole every time you roll on the throttle.
Modifying them with bigger engines or making the engine more RM like seems wrong to me.
Why not get an RM and de-tune it rather than trying to make a PE175 something it will never be?

I'm ashamed to admit it but I had a long standing notion that PE175s were pieces of shit. I can now happily report that I was very wrong and that they are indeed a great little bike. I rode one for the first time ever on the weekend and couldn't believe how nice it is for an old bike. It lugged my lumpy 130kg around surprisingly well. The bike is in pretty ordinary condition too with more rattles than a rich babys pram so It'll be even better when my mate freshens it up for the coming vinduro season.
