1 year later...

vs the day I brought her home.

Feels good to bring this ol gal back to life, and put some miles on it.

Piston, cylinder, valves, timing chain, skid plate, 4.5 gal tank, bars and offset risers, rear shock rebuilt with stiffer coil, precision concepts forks with stiffer coils, dual headlights, seat cover, plastics, graphics, rear fender brace....all the stuff.

Still needs a few other things, as it always will. But hot damn, I love this bike. Shes a keeper.

Edit to add: I did not do the top end or rear shock myself, and dont want to give the impression I did. I paid a professional for that. I know my limits.

7gal tank

My bike came with an IMS 7gal tank.

I have since replaced that with a 4.6 or whatever.

Anybody want the big tank? Has the vacuum pump and all the lines/hoses. Works as it should. Its taking up precious space in my small garage.

Edit to add for those interested: asking price is 250, obo. Ill be on the utah/idaho border, near Bear Lake for work, starting middle of next week. Ill bring it with.

Rainy day maintenance

XR650R - Baja Pig with her top off.

Pissing rain. Cant ride. Figured I should check a few boxes off the to-do list. One rounded off bolt has turned it into an ordeal....as it goes.

The dude abides.

Slow-verlanding

Got this bike 6 days ago. Loving it so far.

XR650R, KDX200, and now a TDub.

In the first 50 miles, I understand why folks love these little bikes so much.

Got it for work. Itll probably get more miles than all of them. The trail builders dream bike.

Hey All,

Buying a new T-dub next week. Itll be my pack mule, and trail donkey for work.

Give me the list of To-Dos and and extras to buy. Skid plate. Jet kit. Racks for gear are on the list already. What's going to make this thing come to life? What dont i know about?

Thanks in advance. Other steeds in the stable are a KDX200 and XR650R. Checking all the boxes of "thats the bike to buy". Haha.
