Another Goddam Aussie

[ALLANKM]

Virgin forum user 07 Rex. Would like to keep as original and keep km's low, but just want to give it a squirt. Having a great time setting the font/ rear suspension. 6ft 3 and 105kg. It just goes off in the adelaide hills back roads. Any help for same size?
Been on inline 4's since early 70's but nothing like this. At my age and can still get it up (front wheel that is). What a hoot!
Would like to learn/ read more about options v stock.

Welcome matey, plenty of info available here it all depends how far you want to go and how deep your pockets are.
Once you get to 20 sensible posts, and some time (7 days?) you will have access to PITSTOP where there is lots of info on setup and tuning.
Enjoy :)

Hi Allan

Welcome! you will find lots of useful information from these fellas which part of Adelaide are you from?

Hey OZZYZ,
Up Gawler way. Love the high speed bends south Barrosa. Not a fan of Gorge rd. I think this bike just loves the 140+ km highway. Any cops reading this ,it wasn't me!
MuffinMan, 38 years on two wheels and around here i'm still young. Last old faithful was CB900 Bol'Dor, only mods were carbs, lost the air box and 4-1 cross over headers with transac can. Bikini fairing candy apple red.
Way back had an old CB500, Dunstal cams and headers, shaved head and bigger jets. Couldn't do a lot back then. I can remember the difference just getting new Avon tyres. Anyone else?

Well I'm losing I guess 9 years on you bloke but my best
mate here in Germany is still running his Bol d'or 900 along
with another 4 Dukes. The Honda looks f#cked but it still
goes man. Every year to the Elephant Rally! Holy Grail of
sidecars.

Hey MuffinMan, cheers, yeah the old Bol d'or was a great bike, I think one of the first with 25 degree yolk angle, short wheel base, but real tail happy. No such thing as rebound adjustment. Not like the REX. Still experimenting with different settings on the rear.
Off for a BBQ, pork ribs, quail and plenty of good shiraz. See you dudes sober.
