They would allow the bike to fill with water very easily plus K&N's are not renowned for filtering fine dust or sand.

If you get stuck and the threads are knackered, I've got a rear shock from a 2010 690 Enduro (250mm travel, not longer R version) you can have for £80 without the stock 80nm spring or £100 with the spring. All of the threads & adjusters are good. Carriage will be £10 by TNT, tracked unless you want ...

Came with my Husaberg 390, it's been sat in its box for nearly 3 years.

One of the carbon hangers is broken and there's a small hole in the carbon silencer tip, both shown in the pics below. I've been told it will also fit KTM EXC's of the same era (2009-11). I've never used it and what you see is ...

Brand new in box, with tags and never used.

If you're making a set of racks for the DRZ, make them in separate sections i.e. top rack and a detachable rack each side otherwise you need to remove everything should you need to access the battery behind the left panel. There's also a fuse behind the panel, relocate it under the seat.

I made a ...

Why not make a bracket or two and weld it to the subframe? I'll be doing this soon to a mates TTR250. I've previously mounted one to some homemade racks for a DRZ400 and to the TT racks fitted to my 690. I've seen tooltubes mounted using P-clips twist and buckle wgen filled with things like tyre ...

Dealers. Hmm. A friend just recently Px'd his Harley 1200 sportster for a new bike. The trade in was in the showroom with a 2K mark up. It was sold within a couple of weeks. Ok any dealer is entitled to a profit but so many of them are just plain greedy. :angry:

Just because it's marked up £2k ...

We need to support local bike shops or they'll close through lack of business. I've built a good relationship with an ex-Honda dealership here in Oxford. I get looked after and will still buy from them even when they're not the cheapest. The 'net was no use when I still needed parts a couple of ...

Forks and rear shock from a 2010 690 Enduro, the model with the shorter suspension as standard from the factory. If your Enduro R (up to about 2012) is a bit tall, these will fit straight in and reduce your seat height by 25mm approx. Both forks and shock are standard springs and have not been ...

Excellent campsite near the beach on the outskirts of San Vicente de la Barquera, a few miles west of Santander, easy walk in to town.
