    Rebuild: '92 GN250 to become SP250

    Die chopper en cafe racer ding is al gedoen.  Dis ook nie so 'n challenge soos 'n DS GN250 nie. Ek moet ophou rondkrap op die net.  Ek het hopeloos te min geld vir al die nice goodies wat ek aan my bike kan vasmaak.

    Rebuild: '92 GN250 to become SP250

    OK, as promised, here is what I've done so far. You will see that the rear fender is pretty much farked. That's it for now.  It's farking cold here in Cape Town, so I'm off to go sit in front of the TV and enjoy a hot cup of java.

    Rebuild: '92 GN250 to become SP250

    alli, you pretty much nailed it with your list.  And, no, I'm not going to try and go full SP, just "dual sportify" as you said. Oh, and knobblies is pretty much priority one.

    Rebuild: '92 GN250 to become SP250

    I did notice the mono vs dual shock.  Not too worried about that. I think I should rather rephrase a bit.  I'm not going to try and turn the GN into a 100% SP.  I'm just going to use the SP as inspiration. My most ambitious idea, and probably the most expensive, is to reroute the exhaust like...

    Rebuild: '92 GN250 to become SP250

    Recently re-acquired my first motorcycle. A 1992 Suzuki GN250.  Had her for about 3 years, sold her to a buddy, and bought her back from him a couple of months ago.  When I originally bought her she was already in dire need of a rebuild. Now she is literally falling apart. At first I was...

    Aero3S - Is it a car... is it a bike, f'nose.. but it looks kewl!

    Faak me, that looks hot.  Wouldn't mind riding that. The car's not half bad too.  Looks like something dreamt up by H.R. Giger. This is the guys responsible.  https://www.aero3s.com/ I see it's not a kit car but rather a body kit for an existing vehicle.

    Ruder, check out the Versys in this thread.  https://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=501343 If only Kawa would man up and build something like that.

    Easy Rider - the most relaxed motorcycle rider ever!

    :o Damn, that man is relaxed. We saw similar stuff in Thailand.  Bike with dad, mom, and child on it, dog in the front basket, no helmets, doing 80kph on a twisty road in rain.  Absolute madness.

    2, 8 and 3 SAI, the tour has started. RR COMPLETE!!!!

    Diesl KLR - Ex-Military spec now available to the public

    Nice.  I want one, but that price will not sit well with SWAMBO.

    Making my own panniers?

    Jacko,  I also have the idea of making panniers from one big flat lasercut piece of sheet.  However, I would not weld it.  The reason I say this is that a pannier, and actually any laden part on a bike, experience a lot of "rattling" during use.  Welding will actually weaken the metal and it...

    Now this looks like something from Robocop.  Price is a bit steep, though. https://www.wired.com/reviews/product/pr_fetish_knox_handroid

    RIP KTM Rider

    Who's that dog??

    Coming from work this afternoon, I turned from the N1 behind a rather nice Tenere with FS plates.  Bloody nice bike that.  Couldn't stop myself from drooling over the bike.  From the looks of things whoever this is stays in Boston, Bellville. So, anybody on this forum to whom this fine specimen...

    Linex Yamaha in Cape town closing down

    I don't want to be an insensitive gwap, but I would also like to know whether or not the stock is being redistributed to other Yami dealers or if they are gonna sell it. BTW, strongs to everyone that worked there and hope they find new ventures sooner rather than later.
