Re: 34L Side Stand Photo Please

Yep, looks like I'm missing a big chunk where the side stand bolts onto.

So what do I do? Can you buy that bottom part or is it welded to the frame?

34L Side Stand Photo Please

Hi all....

I bought a 34L but it has no side stand. I've since bought a well used side stand off eBay. Matching it up to the bike, there's no way it looks like it would fit. I suspest the previous owner broke the original one off and tried to weld something in place - perhaps even trying to mate up ...

Nah.... 4300k is what you want. Closest in colour to halogen. Although the pink might match the bike!

Re: 34L Brake Caliper - better out there? Twins?

OK cheers. Looks like I might be best to stick with what is there and just rebuild it. Might as well replace the hoses with something braided while I'm at it

Re: XT600 XT660R XT660X HID Headlamp Conversion

So anyone done it yet? I'm thinking a 35w HID kit on the 34L to save a bit of juice......

34L Brake Caliper - better out there? Twins?

Hi guys,

Starting my 34L rebuild soon and I'm going to start with the front end. I was thinking about replacing the complete front end but I might just stick with the original and put new Wilbers springs in the shocks.

First up..... The front brake caliper. From what I know it's a single piston ...

Re: 34L Replacement Forks

That does look nice. Any particular model bike to go for? Is it a straight fit or much machining to be done?

Thanks....

34L Replacement Forks

Just a question I wanted to throw out there.

I'm thinking along the lines of changing the forks on my 34L. My main thinking is that technology has come a long way in almost 30 years and that the bike might benefit from modern forks and perhaps a twin brake disc setup. (I know you could use the 30 ...
