I use a Hi Flo HF204

I really like the look of that seat. I have a flat gel seat off a scrambler on my bonny and find it really comfy - I often do 300-400km rides, the longest has been around 780km. The seat was fine - I'm 5'7" 154lbs.

It's funny, I don't recall an SR being mentioned on here before, but I buy one 2 weeks ago and now there's a thread on them :D I started riding bikes and got my license in 1979 - I loved the TT/XT/SR500's at the time and remember taking an XT for a test ride but never bought it for some...

I fitted Hagon Nitro's to mine 15 months ago and have covered just over 8000km with them so far. I left the stock front springs in but fitted Ricor Intiminators about around a month after the rear shocks. I'm much happier with both ends now, especially when I'm fully loaded with gear to go to a...

Thanks for posting that link, that's much better. Cheers.

Wow, those are some really nice old bikes you have there. You mention having a brief riding season, so I assume the long non-riding season is spent polishing. Very nice.

I use my heel. I had no problems with the stock pipes on, but when I fitted the Togas the ball was too close to the pipes, so I gave it a smack with a steel mallet. Didn't bother heating it or anything, just lined it up and swung, one good hit did the trick. That rod was much softer than I...

Haha I loved the bear in the woods ... I don't know that the bunny was so happy about it though.

That depends on your point of view. The bike is built to a price so Triumph can sell plenty of them, and that seems to be working well for them. The stock components that are fitted work OK if you don't push the bike too hard, and I'm guessing that a lot people ride it within those limits and...

haha that's brilliant

This talk of the weather closing in for winter for you guys - I feel sorry for you - but not too much because SUMMERS NEARLY HERE for me :cheer: Selfish maybe, but hey I had my winter and deserve it :D 1st rally of the season coming up this weekend and I'm looking forward to it. Time to catch up...

It's funny how we all like different stuff, what's ugly to some is cool to others. I've never liked the cylinders on Moto Guzzis sticking out the way they do or the old Honda CX500's, but I've always liked the R series beemers. It's a funny ol' world, as you were ... :pick:

Green and Silver, my favourite coloured Scrambler, cool. Is that a floating front disc and and a new calliper I spy on there also - Brembo perhaps? I can't quite make it out.

300km test ride completed for the Damper and Fork Brace - very good. The previous suspension upgrades I did made a big difference to the handling and allowed me to push harder in the corners, as well as being better over bumps in general. But as I got used to the better handling and kept...

Thanks. My design for the flyscreen and sidecovers, but I couldn't paint them that well so I had them done by Dean from Imagination Unlimited. He's a local guy who goes to a number of rallies and does awesome work.

More mods just completed - Norman Hyde Steering Damper and Superbrace Fork Brace now fitted. Test ride this weekend - I'll let you know what I think.

I have a carb'd scrambler gel seat on my EFI T100.

I thought you guys might be interested in this ... http://www.kiwiridernews.com/2013/08/enfield-cafe-racer-coming.html I like the look of it. As a price comparison a new T100 is around $14k here.

Some damn nice pics there, thanks for sharing.

My bike at a rally a few months ago. The Woodstock Bourbon girls were there and were nice enough to indulge my request for a photo op.

Here's some pics I took today with the newly painted fly screen and side covers on.

Thanks for the comments on the bike. I'm happy with how it's turning out. I find myself stopping to admire it when I see it sitting on the drive. Things are starting to get closer on the rebuild front. The insurance co have put me in touch with a building company in past couple of weeks and...

I thought it's about time I updated this thread. The Lucas parts finally arrived in March - just over 3 months after I ordered them. I attempted to fit them but found the fit to be crap for something that was advertised as a bolt on part. There wasn't going to be an easy way to make the tail...

I thought I might give this a go ... Hey, that's pretty cool ... thanks. I guess I'll do big pics now, oh and that's my bonnie at a rally back in March.
