Hi guys, I'm looking to get a BMW spoked rear wheel for my HP2 Enduro so I can go back to tubeless. I stupidly sold my almost brand-new BMW spoked wheels including good rubber (8,000km on road mileage only) for Euro 350. Now THAT was a really crazy price!!!! And bought Excel wheels (I heard...

Dewie, Hey how are you? I have one I can email you. Can you PM your email address? To be honest I'm not that impressed with the information that C2P provides with their shocks. It was like pulling teeth to get the information I asked for. And I only got this one page sheet after two requests...

Hey Big Dom, OK I'll try that. I'm just about to strip it down to replace the bearings and add a Scott Damper. But I thought before I start to alter things let me see if anyone has any ideas while I can still get the clunking every time. If it goes intermittent on me will make it trickier to...

Howzit Guys, Has anyone noticed any noise (a clunking) from their front end? I have. I've done about 30,000 on mine, under fairly harsh conditions at times, so I'm maybe one of the higher mileage bikes. The forks have been serviced, and in fact I've swapped in new cartridges from HK Suspension...

Hey you guys: you need to do this thread somewhere else. What has the poor design of a KTM got to do with an aftermarket tank for an HP2? OK, sorry couldn't resist. But really start your own thread!!

Gents and BigDom, OK here's the latest on the HPN tank for the HP2 Enduro. After seeing Space/Jake's post on HP2 Enduro.com and ADV Rider I was concerned there might be an issue. So I contacted Jake and got the rest of what he'd found. Basically he was concerned that there might be a fair...

Hey Dewald, Yes I did, I got a shock from Martin at Cape. Seems good item. I need to adjust the hose length tho, I have the Marcus tank (underseat tank) so the rservoir cannot go where yours (or other HP2) are mounted. I think I will mount it on the right side, by the pillion rider's foot pegs...

Coming. Most of the time I had my eyes closed, so my photos are unfocussed...:-}

Hey there Wild Puppies, So I FINALLY arrived in Joburg after starting out from The Hague in June. My bike is still there, but I'm in Sheffield, England now. I had to fly out in a rush to do my next thing: school!!! Who says you cannot teach an old warthog new tricks???? I posted on Wild Dogs a...

That's great guys. I guess I shouldn't have worried. I'll post some dirty photos of the Beast then. Just need to figure out how picture posting works on this forum. Haven't done any yet. And yes, will look you guys up when I'm there. In truth I spent 15 years in Vaalieland from '85 to 2000...

Thanks When I checked at the start of the trip in Holland it was definitely visible, and was below the halfway line. Near the min line. So I added just under 500ml to bring it up to the max. Maybe should rather have added 250ml and then checked to see I could see the level. But I was about to go...

Howzit Guys and Gals, I'm one third of the way towards you!!! Lock up your daughters, wives and sheep!!! I am in Cairo, having left Holland a month ago. On my way to Joburg. My question is I'm riding an HP2 and it started the trip with 12,000km (I only added about 2,000km of that). I've put on...

Hello WD's, Does anyone have have any firm facts on a South African passport holder getting a Libyan Transit Visa? I have read SOMEWHERE that it's easier to get a visa with an RSA passport. I know from first hand experience that it is for Algeria, but I don't know about Libya. Normally you...

I'm in the planning stage for some big trips too. My first will be Silk Road (I live in Europe). I have an HP2. I've worked in Algeria, West Africa and traveled a bit in Southern Africa. I want to do a trans-africa trip to tie it all together. Maybe you can read a few of the classic solo...

Heh heh heh. Thanks for the feedback. And maybe I need to ride my own bike there sooner than later.

WDs, Am looking for input on what bike to have in RSA and leave there for occasional use. I visit once or twice a year for about a month each time. I have an HP2 as my main bike and I'm based in Europe. And I love that. But I'm coming to RSA quite a bit and would be nice to have a bike there...

Hey DustDevil, Thanks very much for that post about the difference between tubeless and tubed rim geometry. I knew there was a difference but hadn't got my head around what it was. You explained it well, and its significance. I'm new to my HP2 and I want to do some long solo rides. And it...

The kikoi's a great idea. As you say it's multipurpose. Can bring a small pack towel which is better than a normal bath/beach towel and that. It's a real SAfrikan thing too, hardly anybody else uses them. Except Scots have kilts. Nobody calls a Scot a pansy in his kilt.....  :thumleft: Is in...

Thanks, good points. I've just been experimenting with other maps (not Tracks4Africa since it's not reloaded yet). What one can do is have whatever mapsets you need loaded onto MapSource and unlocked. then you can open each mapset in turn and select whatever maps you want. you do that with the...

Maybe one of the TRax4Africa guys&gals who read the forum can comment? Perhaps it started not being routable but now is? I was told that the Garmin map for Southern Africa (made by Garmin) wasn't so good because it's coverage wasn't so good and it didn't get updated very often. And that GarMap...
