I've been playing with this today. It's not mine it's my mates and hasn't been started in about 7 years I've volunteered to service it and get it going. So today I gave it a wash.

XR's are nice bikes. One of the bikes I learnt on was an XR125. That thing was bloody nippy in first! If he's looking at selling it cause it's obviously not getting used...

Did you give it a bath.

That's another job on the list. I've also had a hammer and bolster out taking tiles of the bathroom wall today.

Lovely bike but I'm a bit of a short butt for it and my feet just about touch the ground. It's come all the way from the Algarve and I washed the orangy clayey mudd/dust of it.

If they are sound just re tile over them saves all the mess

I want something like this, now I don't need a commuter bike, I want to sell the fazer or swap it for something along the lines of this!. Tempted by a trial bike, but that means trailer etc, so thinking of getting something barely road legal to ride to the local green lane sites.

[mattycoops43]

Taken a lot of work, sick of flatting down, but just finished my tank and refitted it, So chuffed with the overall effect. Tank and seat unit/hump painted, fairing t cut and painted the white flash over the headlight. Best result I have ever got myself with rattle cans, but it'll do!

Trouble is, now I can see all the rest of it looking tatty, so I will turn into a bolt polisher! Swingarm needs to come off for a bearing grease and proper clean, and I have some orange wheel tape on the way.





Trouble is, now I want to paint the wheels as they are tatty, before doing stripes. I need to get them powder coated, thinking white? what do you think. I am not looking for subtle, I like colours that stand out, I reckon white with orange wheel tape would go with the screen and look a bit unusual.

White wheels with a red stripe to pick out the RED in the sticker, bit like mine!!! i love em

[agentpineapple]

good work matty.....
wouldn't want to keep white wheels clean myself....

[V-TWIT]

I looked at my VTR fleetingly when I got the rabbit food out of the garage. Oh, and I also thought about changing the exhaust again.
At least the mileage is keeping down

[bigtwinthing]

good work matty.....

i polish them once a month with good polish ( Mer) and then simply wash then after each ride, they keep lovely!!!.

@Matty, nice work fella

Started sorting the brakes - rear one fine, can't seem to get any fluid in the fronts though, sits in the M/C Reservoir whilst I pump nothing......ah well, beer it is.

[agentpineapple]

swapped some cam covers over, ready for another pairs removal, then i fitted a rear subframe, I also fitted a renthal grip over the quick action throttle tube, jesus that was hard work, lots of boiling water and swearing, I ain't ever taking it off....
