My Dakar

[colt]

Well I think it's not ready for mot yet:D

[Blue Sweeper]

This is the very same bike that you eventually got hold of, very much in need of some TLC.

It's what it looked like before the long trek home from Morocco on the back of a truck :eek:

So that,s what happens when they roll of the senter stand,s:eek:

THANKS ROY.that photo reminds me it looks a bit better now.
I think i should do a write up of this?
we have named it FEZ :D

[Blue Sweeper]

Here's another view, I guess that's one hell of a stoppie :D

The name should be "Tinerhir" as this was where it happened on the road to the Todra Gorge, not FEZ. Got a picture of the incident if you want it.

Have either of you (Colt/Blue Sweeper) or previous owner..........got the bent front wheel

I want a Front & Rear hub for a F650GS/Dakar and discs/sprocket

Reason ...............

I'm going to build a pair of good hubs (from trashed wheels) into some tasty Excell anodised rims and h/d spokes

[colt]

I had all the parts with this i think:D except for the steering bearing in the first picture.
the wheel,disc,bent rather too much.
I kept the hub though,not sure if i would risk putting it on a rebuilt wheel though after the damage the wheel and tyre had.
i may know someone with hubs though ;)
regards,jason.
ps you really need those lovely talon hubs.

[JohnnyBoxer]

Thanks Jason..........
I would be grateful if you could follow up by PM, the hubs if they are for a post 2000 GS650 and let me know if they're for sale and how much

Cheers
