DS means Dual sport, road/trail,, vs hard enduro.. The hyde stuff I thought was produced over your way.. as we had a hard time getting it originally.. Ausie? or euro? They were plastic sleeves that slid over the swing arm and were rather inexpensive,, I think acerbis made these as well.. If you go with paint check out the epoxy paints,, harder and less prone to chipping. I used it on a husky wr250 I did before.. it just is sad when you put all the effort and most of the paint is gone or trashed in one ride..

I used "fast black" from... PJ1 oils or one of the Moto oil companies. Went on thick, took 24hrs to dry and was hard as a rock.

Cylinder
Whipped the Barrel off the engine tonight whilst waiting for my gold paint to dry on my forks.
The bore looks very clean for a 13 year old bike..however the casting on the ports (from the factory) is rougher than bears arse so I'm definitely gonna work some magic on those before putting it back on. 1st picture the transfer ports are totally different and will need matching and knife edging. 2nd picture the bore is is quite good shape no real big gouges in it. 3rd picture the casting is very rough and is going to be polished. 4th picture mmmmm lots of carbon deposits. good old oven cleaner will see to that. 5th picture i hate cling film at the best of times ..but sometimes it's the best. |

Took out the Boyesen RAD valve,just look at those engine cases they are a shockingly bad match.
more mis-matched than michael jackson and lisa marie presley. Again I will do something will these. |

Forks
So here are my forks that I have re-conditioned...I was torn between original gold or nu skool black.
I wanted to try and keep some of the original 'el diablo' soul so the paioli's were treated to a rub down to remove some of the big gouges that were in them then a couple of coats of gold paint and silver on the tops and bottoms of the legs,followed by some clear lacquer to finish. I fitted new Seals and dust covers and fresh oil. Altogether this has cost ?35 about $56 to recondition them fully from tired worn out 13 year old forks into new (ish) forks that hopefully will deliver the goods on the bumpy stuff better than they would before I stripped them down. For reference to re-anodise them was going to be about ?180 about $289 which was about a third of the cost of the bike Last edited by savage sausage; 11-11-2011 at 03:58 PM. |

Those pyramid seals made me laugh, I work at a bike shop in NZ, and have never seen nor heard of that brand before..
I guess they must mean owned and operated by New Zealanders. |
