Looking very good guys :thumleft:
As you probably know Justin I also bought a 06 525 for 23k with the very best intentions of doing the 15" Amageza.
It had 160 hours on and is still brand new.
Unfortunately I hurt my right shoulder in March 2014 on a trip to the Waterberg where I flipped my SE.
Since then I have been nursing the shoulder hoping that it will come right in time for me to join KevinZA and his team Vets for change on the Amageza.
It has not worked out.
I am undergoing a shoulder operation tomorrow and will be out of action for 4 to 6 weeks.
Hopefully in time to see you guys at the national bash end Sept at Gariep
In the meantime I will edge you guys on from my seat in front of the pc, avidly following the tracking.
Hopefully its not as big a mess as last year.
I will most definitely follow the build which you guys have pioneered
Expect me there next year! :thumleft:
Good Luck

I finished building another one of my teammates bikes yesterday - a brand new KTM 500 XC-W
"Navigation Tower" fitted - this is not mounted to headstock or handlebars but mounts to top triple clamp - super simple, light and very strong - designed by donovanwho
Headlight spaced forward to accomodate nav gear mounting and wiring
Marine fuse block fitted behind headlight with its own ON/OFF switch- power runs to this fuse block direct from battery with 30A fuse at battery - I have seen a few bikes die a fiery death from a dead short because they were not fused as close to the battery as possible
ICO trip meter (top left) and GPS cap repeater (top right) - each controlled by their own thumbswitches on handlebars
F2R electronic roadbook holder with toggle thumbswitch under left handlebar grip
Original KTM cluster mounted beneath roadbook
20 litre Acerbis KTM PowerParts fuel tank - will give this bike a range of 350 km
Ceramic coated exhaust by Powerkote
Aluminium bash plate with inboard 2,5 litre water tank and toolbox - designed and built by donovanwho - he rides a new Husky FE501 hence the Husky logo cut into the bashplate
Seat widened, foam added and recovered by Nithrone
Suspension completely revalved and resprung front and rear by Superfoxi
PRO MOTO BILLET sidestand courtesy of Topbox from ADVENTURE RIDER
Tubliss fitted to both wheels - allows you to ride safely at 0,5 bar pressure for awesome traction and super easy and quick to fix punctures with a "snotwurm" plug
Gearing lengthened to 14:48
READY TO RALLY !!!

Looking Awesomley good Justin and team! :thumleft:
I also bought a low mileage 525 with only 76 hours on it with the intention of doing this but quickly realised I just didn't have the time or money right now, so had to can the idea, so instead I will be watching you guys closely and enjoying the RR and shouting for you during the race! Looking forward to following the build-up and the race action.
Good Luck guys! :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

Yes boss
If you zoom in and look closely you will see it does have flush mount little rear indicators
And the bike is registered and licensed - disc is stuck on top of left hand fork leg - new numberplate to follow because rider keeps breaking them

Hoeveel sous dra jou 525 ?
Ek hoop dis genoeg vir die lang/moeilke stages + moontlike verdwaal.

and here is the last of the 3 bikes I have put together - this one below is my brother's 525
My brother is a real bling king and this bike has tons of pretty extras on it
I hope the rest of my teammates Kamanya, Darthvader and MaxThePanda post some pics of their steeds here

Superb!
Those bikes look fantastic.
Is there any chance of getting contact details for the guy that did your seats, they look very nice!
