After storing this for a mate... I've now bought it for my good lady ... Yes she is going to use it ...
The bike is in nice condition and only done 1200 miles ... Was running rough so its been to Bill Smith in Chester, carbs cleaned out and a fresh mot... Straight through
Now this is the problem ... It's too high for her.. And with being only 8 stone.. The suspension doesn't compress much .
So I've ordered 40 mm dog bones.. To drop the back end ... But what to do with front ? Suggestions please..
Now .. She is going do no more than light green laning and as training for a trip next year ( more about that later ) ...
These are the bikes they use, so this will give her experience before she goes .
This isn't going to be a show queen bike, and will pick up some damage over the next 6 months... But sensible suggestions on items that "need " to be fitted would be really helpful .
Tyres look like there original .. So what do we fit ? Road and green laning ... As this won't be trailered..
Finally she needs to get out on it ... Gentle green lanes.. Near Chester... And please don't say join TRF..
Any help really appreciated
Thanks
