Swapping dual sport wiring harnesses on my son's bike this weekend. Necessary before we ride again. On-call weekend too so staying close to home.

Should be riding next weekend.

busy installing the big bad boy IMS tank  

Been using mine whenever i can, as long as it's dry I'm using her .

I am starting to assemble so been busy getting my stuff together

Forks and shock will be assembled this weekend.
Anodizing removed from wheels, will sand out and nicks and scratches and am having them done half white and half red - Can't get 2 colour anodizing in this country so going to try Gun Kote. Wheels will be built the following week with new spokes.
Frame will come back next week and I can start assembling.
Hopefully crank will be done next week with Falicon rod kit. Crank is apart but need to put pressure on the machine shop guy to assemble.

Forks, shock, frame, subframe and swingarm resprayed "Course Aluminium" (metallic silver).
All nuts and bolts zinc plated.
OEM Honda parts and XRsOnly parts sitting on my shelf waiting to be fitted - TM40 carb - Wossner 11:1 piston and of course the mystery surprise HRC cam I found in my motor.

Brand new ydraulic MX stand waiting in garage to be used - weight limit is 135kg - Probably pushing the limit with a BRP.

Still have two XRRs

Still building mine...

But in mean time have bought two others for mates, and they've been fully prepared for Morocco in three weeks time

getting mine ready for a ride this weekend, just put it back to 15/48 gearing. I've been toying with the idea of taking my bike to a shop and having them fix my electrical though, they guy I bought it from had a bunch of things unplugged and so when I bought it the head light wouldn't even go on (I got it for such a steal though so I wasn't worried even if I had to buy a brand new kit) I got it all working but not properly. I think it has to do with the rectifier because the light dims when idle and goes brighter at higher RPMs, I replaced the rectifier and thought I had it going fine constantly putting out 12v but I'm assuming not. It's also a giant mess back there with SO many wires and crap, plus I have a front mounted stabilizer on it which ripped wires out a few rides back (so fix this I just put in a long bolt through the light mounting bracket to keep all the wires forward, I've been thinking of making a little dash board with a USB (mainly to keep my gopro remote charged), the 12v plug that was already installed on the bike, perhaps move my trailtech vapor off the handle bars and mainly to hide all of the wires. Anyone have any clue what a shop might charge to fix my electrical issue?

To be honest....

Do it yourself  

I hate electrics, but if there is one bike to learn off is the BRP, even if it has been hacked around...

Buy a good multimeter, then watch about 2 hours of youtube videos to learn how to use it. Go slow, strip it all, then put it back better

I still hate electrics, but have done this. It was not too bad, especially when I realised that everything done before me was incorrect!

Buy some spiral cable wrap....

That way adding extra wires is painless and you can soon undo to make changes

just completed topend teardown to inspect run in, reinstalled forks from revalve, manufactured a new pack rack, now going thru the twin output stator wiring to run ac + dc systems, then finally be able to get jetting sorted for the new fcr43.5mm carb... always seem to have another idea to try, ah well back to work

Still got mine kinda

I still have mine, just haven't ridden it in 6 months or so. Since I high sided my other Supermoto at a track day and broke my upper arm. It failed to heal in the external brace they like to use, so they finally put a Ti plate and screws in 2 weeks ago. Feels almost normal again, but I am very weak. Hopefully I'll be able to start working out seriously soon!

Get better soon Pete .
