Putting the bike back together after Morocco

[shan]

After my abuse and the other owners it was time to give the Dakar some tlc
Well form this after the trip to Morocco

To this

I had all the paint work re-painted back to the original and all the Touratech bits sand blasted and stove enameled. Just waiting for Feckin DHL to deliver the head lights that they have had in France for three weeks !!

So its all but just about ready to trash again !!

Good job...needs a Titanium pipe again to give it back some class

Check the bottom shock bolt, I bent a couple and think I fitted a HT one in the end.

I recognise every inch of it

I don't see many bodged wires around the headstock that kept your HID inoperable late one night coming down from a very big mountain with Mr Hale though Tim

EDIT.....wow, wasn't that a night!!

That was a failed HID Ballast....got two on the KTM

Epic ride

Waiting for David while he threw his only wobbler, nearly setting fire to his clutch climbing up the valley behind you

The bolts and bushes have been replaced along with so many other bits the list was endless .

But sadly it will be up for sale at the end of the month because change of plans, imminent house move Monday and life’s ups and downs .
I will be sad to she it go (if I can sell it ) as have put far more into it than I will ever get back , as intended to keep it for good !!

Yes Tim it would look so much better with the appropriate can on the end that was one of the things on the list of things to do .

I'm afraid it was me you broke the original race can in Portugal

The cops pulled me as I got back to Plymouth on the way back, said they could hear me getting off the boat

My KTM has taken the place of the old bus and is much better in every single respect but did have some fun on the old girl
