My other bike
Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 4:26 pm
So, I promised to post photos of my DR Hyde
Here goes. Notice scratched plastics and worn crashbars - I deliberately keep it this way.
Under plastic bike is perfectly cleaned, frame polished and painted with special paints etc .etc.
Plastic bits on DR is just for looks, they hold no function at all, literally - at all, nothing even hanged on them.
So, mods done:
1. WP Extreme front forks, RWU 50 mm fully adjustable, off Husaberg
2. Wilbers full monty shock absorber, separate damping circuits etc. etc.
3. GPR handlebar, original clocks removed and Trailtech Vapor installed instead, including engine temp. sensor
4. Carbs rejetted, airfilter slightly modified, exhaust - ex-Benelli Tornado factory Arrow exhaust, half-labyrinth, hald-straight through, fully titanium. Installed using self-made link pipe.
5. 2 sets of wheels - ones on photos are supermoto kind, 17" 3.5 front 4.25 rear with 150 tyre. Second set - 21" front 17" back with Pirelli MT21 knobbies. Wheels interchangeable in 15 minutes.
6. Re-made from pieces crashbars with different fixation system - very good protection.
7. Not showing on photos - self - made full sump guard with toolbox, made from 5 mm thick alloy. I only install it for offroad days.
8. Rear racks accepting Aprilia Pegaso side panniers 30 liter each but keeping bike widht with panniers same as handlebar.
9. Self-made lower chain guard and upper chain deflector
10. Beringer 4-piston brake caliper in front on Husaberg hub.
11. Handguards re-made from Viper cheapo handguards to match bar curves etc. Thick aluminium bar at base.
12. Braided brake hoses everywhere.
I think this is all
