Having moved on from airheads I still have a Harro Elefantenboy 35 Liter tankbag that I don't have any use for. These are great quality bags which will last the life of the bike if looked after. Overall condition is good with all zips etc working as intended. If anyone is interested the bag is...

HP2 Crash Bars. Can do with a coat of paint. R650 plus shipping

So I have been rebuilding my XR650L motor the last few weeks after ignoring it in the garage the last few years. No problems there - it has a new Wiseco piston in it, a decent valve-job and new bits and pieces as required, All bolts torqued down to spec. That was the easy part. I'm now stuck...

So I've been riding these things for the last 35 years. Much fun, comeraderie and great times were had on 300K km + on a bunch of these bikes. I'm at a crossroads now and have a few questions. My one problem is that the R80/R100 /07 series like to drag the tappet cover in corners a bit too...

This reminds me somewhat of Faulty Towers - a cool British comedy thing of the '90's with a biker theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmO4GwknuLc

I'm consolidating bikes and letting go of some so that I can afford a new toy. 1994 XRV750 Africa Twin, mileage 58500km The bike is pretty stock standard and comes with a main stand. I have had more than 20 000 problem free kilometers over the last 3 years. The motor is sweet and does not use...

I'm consolidating bikes and selling my XR400R and XRV Africa Twin so that I can afford a new toy. 2004 XR400R in overall great condition with the usual scuff marks for a bike of its type. I bought the bike from IanB on the forum here and put on about 5000km in the last 2 years. Mileage 8500km...

Not so long ago there was another kind of Dakar somewhat closer to us. Lots more infos and vids here on the main page. The channel has listed stages in English and etape's in French: https://www.youtube.com/user/AfricaEcoRace/videos Stage 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4lUFvtW0Ts Stage...

Time to let go of my trusty NC. I'm not riding it since getting my 750 Africa Twin a while ago which suits me better as a bike that can do some limited off road. The NC has been great the last 5 1/2 years though as my day to day commuter. The bike is licenced up to 07/19 and all paperwork in...

Came across this on YouTube tonight. Epic stuff !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtG6niRiRXk

It's time for a new rear tyre. The big H recommends a 140/80 - 17 and I found an E-07 in that dimension at Rocket in Pinetown. Seems like an unusual size with most of the more modern bikes using a 150/70 profile. I'm sure the E-07 will work OK, have used them before on other bikes but the...

Don't know if this has been posted here on WD before - if yes then please move to the right section Mods. The purpose of this thread is to post YouTube and similar links of video's that are cool to watch, have some meaning and elevate what you and I think are great biking and related vids. It's...

As per topic line - where can I source a new piston for my XRL? Tried Game Services and they have one option in stock. Any forum vendors or guys in the know here on WD who can point me in the right direction...

As per topic line - a connection of mine is looking at rebuilding his 1980 Mike Hailwood Replica. The bike suffered a front end prang about 20 years ago so the frame needs to be checked and possibly tweaked into alignment again. is there anyone in the KZN Durban area or surrounds that can be...

As luck would have it my XR650L finally broke down yesterday for the first time after 38 000km about 50 meters from home. Out the front gate - first gear - its all-right! - HONDA HONDA - second gear - and fizzle out with clanging noises coming from the motor area. Pushed her back up the drive...

Coming from a more dirt focused equation of riders that's being slowly overhauled by the latest - greatest in motorcycle technology in the air-cooled 650 class I have question. How is your KLR? - how are you doing? Myself - mostly persuaded by XR (Honda) and R80 (BMW) air-cooled technologies...

Looking for a front rim for my AT - 21 x 1.85 - 36 spokes. Can be new or good condition second hand. Excel preferred.

Some exotic immaculate machinery here. The Norton twin is a 1007cc purpose built racer using modern components with an ancient non unit construction engine and belt drive to the gearbox. At around 130kg and more than 100HP at the rear wheel the owner confirmed to me that they have no problems...

Just off the phone with my friendly Honda dealer inquiring on pricing for a set of new fork boots: R610,00 per side! At that price it is obvious that I need to have a look elsewhere - maybe Polysport or something similar that is of decent quality. What are my options?
