i blew my dt up ... but i fixed it.... Then i crashed it.... but i didnt fix it right and 2 scouser's come in the middle of the night and left me with a working bike
It's taken a while to get bits done plus waiting for parts suppliers to come up with the goods. A month for wheels from Talon which were ordered wrong by a local guy then another 3 weeks for the 5" rear wheel to come, front wheel spacer was wrong so Talon sent a new one which I had to take 1.7mm off to get the caliper sitting central. I had to get my mate to centralize the outer rim so the wheel was in the center of the forks. Talon were helpful by sending new rear spacers so the rear wheel would fit too as they only had specs for up to 2008 Husky 450TE's .My bike has different forks and totally different swing arm. I must say that the guy at Talon was very helpful. I think 50% of the gear I had ordered for the bike had to be sent back. It makes me laugh that some of these places are still in business. Carbon exhaust guards one from Italy the other from the U.S perfect fitment, Brembo sent second hand master cylinder by accident and as way of apology sent new master cylinder with folding lever and brake light switch at no extra charge. Massive thumbs up to Brembo for that.

I have been out today following the two day Manx classic trial, nice to get out on the bike for a blast but the weather was a tad foggy up the hills today but still good fun.
