Welcome back, that bike is very very very shiny. Been out on mine today, and now it needs a clean and I didn't go far, horrible, dirty, pot hole ridden roads, we have at the mo.

Nice to have a clean machine 8) but it doesn't take too long for it to get all dirty again :angry:
Nearly sold it a few weeks ago... but... nup, couldn't bear to part with it :thumbsup:

Looks great! (I've had mine about the same amount of time - there's really nothing out there to replace 'em)
Incidentally, where did you get the trick 'window' clutch cover?

Rifleman from TLZone does them. He has a little business running called Double Z Racing see http://www.doublezracing.com/ and http://www.doublezracing.com/clutch.html

I have one of those too from Rifleman so can vouch for him.

Got a couple of other bits from him, a good bloke to deal with I found.

Thanks!
The clutch cover (and trick pressure plate) were made by Vandriver from TLPlanet.
Van's are machined out of billet aluminium.
Rifleman's are an original TL clutch cover (plastic) which he converts.
I think that Van's are the nicest, but way more expensive.
Rifleman's have the benefit of retaining the stock oil filler, which is easier to use than on Van's version (smaller hole and not easy to pour oil into).
Both types of covers are very well made. :nod:

That is a really nicely made piece of kit. Pity he didn't weld a bigger oil fill neck on like you say. But I would guess with the help of a funnel from the kitchen :wink: it fills up no worries.

The snazzy pressure plate certainly helps to make it look better than a just the original plate with a window.

Much to my surprise the bike is so much easier to keep clean since I installed the Turbo-encabulator.
Not only does it increase the power output, reduce fuel consumption and improve handling, it also makes the bike easier to clean.... go figure :happyhappy:

Ummmm... I got it off the net :wink:
Truely an amazing place.

I took the 'Red Hoon' for a bit of a blast today, finally got some time off :ride:
So glad that I didn't sell it!
Now I need to buy it a present - since it was 9 years ago last week that I put down the cash for my shiny new Raptor.
Methinks it is time for some Pazzo levers :nod:
