There`s so much satisfaction to be had when you get a part that most people would chuck in the bin & with a few hours work its like new.
Its like me & Jiff with our brake callipers.

got some more bits today
a new led rear light
it was cheaper than getting an original taillight lens
after removing i found it wasn't the original light and had been "modified"
bright little sucker
brake lights on
i also picked up a KLX 450 pipe got it for $20
it's even the right ID so i've just got to get the mid pipe modded
so i gave it a run
it's got a nice note, much better than standard
