    with that one you nee the IMG tag at the beginning and an "ending" IMG tag like this /IMG they all have [ ] either side too. for some stupid reason, photobucket has taken away the easy bit when they "upgraded" the site

    tried googling the XV750 of the same year, I know its shaft drive, but the engine is the same and some models look to have the same exhaust

    I use a hydraulic cable oiler, those little things are not very useful as they depend on the propellant from a maintenance spray. I use proper oil in mine

    I'd offer $50 as Postage will kill the deal. If you really want silencers, Sito from Italy (company in Scotland import them last time I looked) make them for the xs. I paid $25 canadian for an NOS rear guard a few years ago!

    Bought an NOS rear tail lamp bracket from Stafford for the Gilera, origin unknown. No markings on it, but, there were 2 bolts with the number 4 in the heads. Now I know Kawasaki number their bolts like that so it was a matter of using google images to find the correct one. turns out it was a z400 twin bracket, it suits the Gilera and is very close to the original, so I'm keeping it
  20. take it apart and take it to a winding company. they'll do it cheap as chips
  21. its the same for me too, just got to drop massive hints to the boss like "oh I'm away that weekend"

  23. I wouldn't have looked round, as maybe you might have been perceived of goading her! I remember going to Donnington and there was a line of traffic on the A500, 3 miles from Donnington. just passing the line of cars, but as there were so many bikes car drivers were deliberately opening their doors and shouting at us, twats!
