Like this one smoked green.
Hey Grahmm,
Did you replace the triple tree to accept those new forks?
Way cool?.Love it. What's the weight on your R80?
Cheers
Will
Triples were produced by henderson machine shop in Ca, they match the wp4860 forks to the original geometry of the Bike. Forks are from a 2004 KTM 450SX, re-valved re-sprung and shortened to 210mm travel from 300mm. There are other companies such as SWT in Germany that have catalog offering of the triples but way more money. This was an offering through Advrider, he made up about 30-50 sets over a 2 year period.
the weight is nice at ~180 kilos, but I should bring home a scale from work and measure actual.
Wilbers 633 rear shock on its way from the Beemer shop in hopes that the rear end can catch up to the performance of the more modern front end... which is amazing
also alpha ignition and new coil on it's way. I have another tank that I want do in original color and decal scheme, the bike should look really sharp for road rides with it and the side panels installed

Out searching for the perfect Christmas tree.
It looks like the Christmas lights are tied off onto your bike. You will need to ride like the wind to keep them off the ground.
great backstory there pf
When did you graduate?
nice bikes as well!
2006. I don't remember the exact mileage when he gave it to me but it was something like 33-35,000. Now IIRC it has 55,000 on it. I'm finishing up a five year stint working in Saudi Arabia so I don't get to ride even remotely as much as I want. It currently lives with its younger sibling at my parents' in MA.
