    Looking for someone in Gauteng that can restore my bike's plastics

    I am well aware. That is why I said without sanding. I can help(try) and remove the staining as I have done on my sons' bikes but I will not sand the plastics. This is a major exercise.

    The not-so-handy handyman and other randomness

    I have a braai that I made from an old pool filter. It is my go-to braai. Even though it is proper thick stainless steel I still use a normal piece of expanded metal on a flat bar "frame" at the bottom of it to make the fire on. Makes a massive difference in the ventilation and will make it...

    CF Moto 450 MT/IBEX coming to droomers in Cape Town

    My SWM 300. Yes, shorter intervals but supposedly every 2 000km which is not too bad. I cannot say about frequency of rebuilds unfortunately as I have only done 2500km on the original trip meter before switching to an hour meter and then did another 35hours on the hour meter.

    CF Moto 450 MT/IBEX coming to droomers in Cape Town

    Tenere 34L fettling

    Kan jy nie 'n Time-Sert in die hande kry sonder om die hele kit te koop nie? Hulle het 'n "skouer" sodat hy net tot flush met die oppervlak kan indraai.
