    Turns out I do! Went to change the rear pads today, only to find both pistons seized in the rear caliper, and a lovely stress fracture running through the entire thing so I've had to bin it grrrr. Issue now is I can't find another one to replace it with, and I'm not buying from the states as I'm UK based and would pay through the odds thanks to our lovely Government. Anyone have any idea what caliper would fit a 98 XJ600S? Cheers

    Hi Just got an xt 125 and want to slightly lower the front end. Looks to me that I can just draw the fork tubes up through the top yoke by about 30mm by loosening the pinch bolts. Any problems against doing this? Also there doesn't appear to be a petrol tap as such. I assume its a diaphragm arrangement. If so do they tend to let by as it smells slightly of petrol when sitting stationary. Thanks for any advice Cheers Dave

  11. Hello everyone! My name is Ryan Meyer and I am a Canadian who has moved to the Netherlands last year for school. Along with a couple major lifestyle changes, such as mountains at my backdoor being subtracted for the flattest country EVER, I as well do not speak Dutch. I am still learning the language basics, so this makes the process of finding parts (as well as daily life) pretty difficult over here, so I hope I can get a bit of help from you guys. My intentions are to create more of a brat style mixed with tracker and lots of cafe influence, so I hope this works for your visual aesthetic. I do however possess great taste , which means you can save your knickers from…
