Afternoon Gents, I have a product some of you might be interested in. For those who have lost a tail light unit before will understand. I was lucky enough to have caught mine before it broke of completely. I also hard mounted the rear light and did away with the rubber buffers. So far after 2...

Has anyone done some homework on a replacement shock on the Dakar? Mine is leaking again, and seems to be in need of replacing. Can't find any on the second hand market, and replacements seem to be in the 13k range. or anyone have a Dakar or Sertao shock for sale? 

I see some older posts about it but nothing recent. Phoned Bmw this morning and I thought they gave me a price For a set.. but they didn't.. If it is the only reputable option it's fine, but before forking out the cash, is there any other replacement options?

So after a while of getting away with oil changes to sort my clutch, it looks like a replacement is on the cards soon. I see kits for sale with steel and friction plates, but no springs. And Bmw's kit has everything but is just stealer pricing, and they don't sell anything separate... Where do...

Anyone in possession of a rear luggage carrier for a Country? not sure if the Challenge might fit?

Servicing the forks on a Yamaha dt50, tried loosening the bottom bolt on the fork to try and get the old seals out. It's got to a point where it's not loosening or fastening. Can't see anything from the top to stop it from rotating. Anyone know how to fasten that bolt back up so it doesn't leak...

I have two headlights from my Sj410 that I'm thinking of "restoring". The chrome on the inside has flaked and started rusting. I have contemplated going the LED style headlight route, and although it's not of the table yet, I might try and use what I have. It's Standard, it fits and it works. I...

Bought a realy nice DT50, first 50, second two stroke. looking forward to getting it running and then back on the road. should't take all that much fuss. Only parts it really needs are rear indicators. anyone have some lying around? where does one find chain and sprockets for them? does tracmac...

Any wilddog recognize this Country? Dad bought it yesterday. Has a paw on it and has n oasis sticker and a vrystaat bash 2018 sticker. Kitted out wel. Screen, crashbars and barkbusters. Would like to know who owned it at one stage.

Who in Cape Town does relacing/rebuilding? I have some questions on possibilities for making up a rim

So went for a decent technical ride yesterday for a close of contract celebration. First proper offroad excursion with the new wilds i fitted. WOW!! they perform amazing!! halfway through it felt like i had a flat, checked and didn't look like it(checked a couple times more and nothing) did my...

Let's call it a "clunking" sound coming from my Dakar when hitting ruts on gravel. Only big ruts and at higher speeds. At first it sounded to me like it came from the fork. Picked up the bike and no play on the head bearings or anything up front. Which led me to the back. There is some play on...

Anyone else using Rever? started using it this weekend and seems like it will work for what i want

I have a small amount of play on the top bush of my rear shock. Looks like the bolt is worn. i assume the bush is harder than the bolt as it is not a replaceable item. Anyone had and sorted this problem?

Will it be a wise decision to do a solo trip through the Eastern Cape on the way to Richards bay just after xmas? wanting to do long way there, to be there for new years. and then back the shortest (non tar as far as i can) route. probably planning on 3-4 days there, and 2-3 days back. any...

i stumbled into designing a bashplate for a friends x country. any interest from the wild dogs side? have no idea if it will fit the rest of the x-range

has anyone had issues with the pleated type filters as are standard on the gs? I went on a 3 day 1400 km trip just after my 40k service at Donford. I had a tumble on the first day but finished the weekend. After the trip i checked all the damage and found my airfilter damaged and letting in...

Anyone here had any issues on an x with the speedo cluster resetting? It does not effect the rest of the bike ie revs etc. The cluster just goes off and comes back on again.. Bmw had it for a week and a half, tried a different cluster and a battery, checked wiring and a couple other things. But...

So last night I made some brackets to move my screen up a bit to make space for a GPS above the clocks. I'm happy with the outcome! even helps with wind, i can now comfortably ride with my visor open at high speeds. and it helps that it looks more aggressive!! looks more.. well Dakkarie...
