2 Strokes Down Under

Thanks for the support !!! I wont name and shame online, and as he is a bit out of the way. The grinding was on the back of the footpeg exhaust carriers and it was about 2mm worth of thickness. It has been dressed up and it is hard to tell now. It was the principle of it that annoyed me the most. I ...

When you tell someone under NO circumstances are you to touch or modify the frame, apparently that isn’t clear enough. I took the RG250 t...

Should be done in the next week or so . . . . . http://pez...

Thanks Duncan and Jon

Well I think ebay was kind I picked up this 1986 DR600 Dakar for the sum of $184.50 Both Bikes run a full floater rear suspension setup and I had hoped the rocker pivot is the same distance on both bikes. Long shot I know, but they were 20mm different http://pezz.smugmug.com/Other/RG250-Scrapper/i-K...
