Dave's Dr

In November of 2005 i brought my baby on Ebay, bit of a risk buying something you haven't seen
I paid $3500 for her & with the condition she was in i ended up paying $5000.

As she appeared on Ebay.

My plan is to go Supermoto, tight budget at the moment means i have to make do.
I have put new tyres on, new rear disc rotor, new horn, new battery, new chain, new starter clutch, the carby cleaned & a new jet & a bit of fault finding on the electrics.

I have added new l.e.d. indicators on the rear & lowered the back end . I can now touch the ground on both sides, still tiptoe though, problem with being vertically challenged.

I haven't been able to spend much money on her, just a few maintenance jobs that needed doing, i have done 2 oil changes & a filter, now running synthetic oil. I took the front forks apart to have a look, the oil in them was like sewerage water. An improvement but gonna need new springs. I also changed the front brake fluid hoping to get better response, she wont do endo's. Need to get some braided steel lines, i'm sure that will work, let you know when i get them.
I'm slowly cleaning her up, bit of polishing, need  a bit of touch up paint, have been playing with different colour schemes in Paintshop but haven't made up my mind yet.
This page will be updated each time something happens with her to keep you all informed.
