So the tank was offered to me but scooped up on the quiet by somebody whilst i was off the forum for an hour. Thanks a lot. Not something i would have done but ja, good luck to you.

Sent you a PM

Hulle het vir my n nuwe wiel spacer ook ge-machine op die regte specs(y) Het reg gelyk met fitment. Sal maar sien.

Thanks LeCap, maybe the dings in yours are smaller than the canyons in mine. Also i see mine is also not straight....the filler cap sits off centre to the left of the frame. If i dont find one up here, i will get in touch.

Ja, probably mo@red it back into place at some time.

Daar was iemand .....dink Keith Muller wat dit gedoen het. Vra dalk vir Porra of hy nog kontak details het. Was redelik goedkoop gewees en goed. Ek het self een ingesit.

Geen pyn, hulle het goeie job gedoen. PM my as jy prys wil weet.

The surprises just keeps on coming. After finishing building and painting side covers, the tank is next. Time to get rid of the horrible previous paint job (if you can call it that) and spray it black to match the rest of the bike. This is what it looks like on the underside. How the f@ck do...

They are in 633 President Steyn Street, Pretoria North. No disassembly required. I took the wheel off the bike and got it to them with the help of @Oshkosh They just took the tyre off before working on it.

I might do that....wheel still wobbly from smiley and the inside of the rim does not look good.

Yes, and i also throw the bearings in the deep freezer for around 20 minutes or so. On the semi-worn side of the hub, the bearing dropped right in. On the newly machined side it just took a few slight taps to seat.

Wicked Rides machined and fitted a new aluminium sleeve for me. The other side is still OK'ish....for now. But at least i can ride now.

Yes, i have spoken to Conrad but not since deciding to go up to 250. Will get in touch with him again.

I think that, that is what his father is looking at(y) On the earlier question, the son is 16, 80kg and 1.78m

Goeie punte, sal dit ook deurgee vir oorweging(y) Hy is nou in die ou standerd 8 (weet nie wat dit is in grade nie), redelik lank en n kranige rugby speler, so hy is sterk jong man. Dra n nr 11 skoen.

I thought you might:D

As i understand it, will basically be trails and enduro type riding. As it would be a first bike, my guess is he would not be looking at something brand new or a vintage bike. Something relatively recent and reliable.

Yes, i will most probably ride mine till its wheels fall off....which should only be in another 200 000 kms or so:) For the ability, reliability and low maintenance costs that it provides at the prize...nothing else comes close.

Having looked at the options and intended use, they have decided to rather move into the 250 4t class. What is available and recommended there - YZ 250, WR 250,.......?
