I am expecting extended wheelie videos of sections of the A5. I'm sure you could get some air on the A4086 where the road gets a bit undulating by the rock that everyone boulders on too.
I am jealous! Give Ghost a PM, I'm pretty sure he'll be itching for someone to go riding with by now. ____________________ Now: '00 Kawasaki ZRX1100R - Past: '84 Yamaha DT125, '89 Kawasaki KLR600, '97 Yamaha XJ600N

Nice . Is it sporting a FMF pipe? All it needs is some handgaurds IMO. ____________________ Chase my Witch up, Catch my Snitch up.

Out of interest, how much was it if you don't mind saying? Something like that here would go for around €3,500-€4000 easy in rubbish condition. I can see why there was an influx of Europeans going to the UK to fill a van up with second hand bikes and bring them back now. ____________________ Now: '00 Kawasaki ZRX1100R - Past: '84 Yamaha DT125, '89 Kawasaki KLR600, '97 Yamaha XJ600N

That sounds about right that Rob, I paid £3300 for this with the offroad wheels/tyres etc!
I reckon it must have about 1k's worth of bolt on bling, and the rims alone have to be worth £600+ it's a good setup but I really don't like buying someone elses hard work so am just gathering ideas and waiting to put my own touch on it
It's got a full carbon FMF on it including the front pipe it's got a removeable baffle and the last owner has lost the screw to refit the baffle so it's just absolutely mental sounding

I did a bit of tinkering in the garage last night, installed a set of new Fatbars as the standard setup was shite. Moved them as far forward as the standard mounts allowed and also swapped the bracket around so they sit slightly higher, result is awesome!
I'm still slightly unsure on the gearing it's running 14-42 at the moment which I think is too high, it's difficult to get it to rev out in top gear but at the same time it makes riding fast a lot more comfortable. I guess all I can do is drop a tooth on the front and see what the result is.
Really not used to wheelying a thumper and also the 17's are throwing my balance right off (I can wheely my EXC200 much further)
Pic from today (usual spot, great road)
