When I first read this thread I thought it was just gonna fizzle away... am really pleased to be shown as wrong. Cracking job dude, this is awesome! :) Keep it up

damn it, wanted to get out on it today as its the last time I'll be able to till November and its running like poo and un-ridable :( Think it is in need of some proper engine out TLC anyway as it needs new gaskets as well as a full service. One of the coils is cracked so will replace them as...

I took the bike to a place locally in Scotland who welded it back up for me. They did a cracking job and even sprayed the metal work black after too all for £20... Well Chuffed :)

keep the pics coming :)

hahaha :D I've not investigated properly but Redmax seem to have done a nice job of keeping it tidy up front :)

have not got any dangling wires but am not sure where they have been hidden

not sure exact length but think they are possibly 3" longer than standard. Front forks are standard yup :)

getting it to him will probs cost more than the repair tho but you are right I should let him know :)

Kinda difficult to take it back as its up in Scotland now, but yeah the chap down at Redmax does seem a nice bloke. Am not gonna be able to get it south till November now tho so I'll have had the bike almost a year before I'd be able to get it back to him.

Am not a happy chappy, could handle the oil leaks (even though the seller told me it used no oil), could handle the dodgy electric start (coz kickstarts are cool), but to have welds break is not cool, the zorst rear mount has split, which now makes it unridable as the can is not held in place...

I like that a lot mate, you gonna keep the tank bare? :)

that has the potential to look lovely mate, keep the updates and pics coming! :)

we have a mini roundabout near my house, it is just nicely raised enough for when I was on my supermoto or KTM when I had them to get about a foot of air if I hit it right :D I miss those silly bikes! :D

hiya :) hope you get your keys issue sorted quickly!

:thumbsup: titanium knee sliders are the future! :wink2:

it is really nice mate, It could do with softer rear shocks as the ones on it are way too firm, they give a lot of feedback tho and the steering angle on tarmac is spot on. Will change the tyres at somepoint tho coz it generally spends its life on tarmac and would work better with less knobbles :)

ooof 93cm, that is a tall bike.... KTMs generally are 910ish in enduro trim. Not that it matters when riding. Your bike looks flippin mint mate :)

this one? its a 1980s XS400 :) had some work done by Redmax Speed-Shop in the UK :)

haha true :)

out of interest, what is the seat height on that now?
