Re: Eric66 34L Resto
I dunno how much these covers are, has anyone ever fitted one successfully??... I'd rather have one made fron scratch methinks... guy who did mine reprofiled the foam for me & made & fitted the cover ... all for £60 & it fits like a glove
Might be a bit more for 2 colours....

Re: Eric66 34L Resto
I only went with this supplier as apparently he has a good reputation, will take the cover to my local upholster to see if we can make it fit. Also this arrived today.

Re: Eric66 34L Resto
Nice, Karl had pointed out on one of my 34L`s it had a later disk with the drilled holes, so i dug through a box of bits i had scored on ebay (in Brisbane) last year, i got a seat, tank & other bits n bobs for $100 and i knew there was a hubb in the box & when i pulled it out last weekend it had the original slotted disk on it.

Re: Eric66 34L Resto
Well the tank I bought from Fred arrived, however it didn't have a very good voyage sustaining a nice big dent pushing the filler cap in .
Oh well ya get that sometimes, still happy with it though.

Re: Eric66 34L Resto
Bugger, still that wouldn't be to hard to fix Eric, its them side ones that are tricky.
I know a couple of lads in Perth who could fix that, he gets most dents out by cleverly drilling small holes on this inside/underside (25mm) which he later welds, he then gets in with his tools to get it back in shape & then finishes it with lead, not bog.
He does classic cars & gas tanks for guys restoring bikes, not cheap but a proper job that will last another 30yrs plus.

Re: Eric66 34L Resto
Went down the shed and made a slide hammer, took about 5 minutes.
Another 5 minutes and I had pulled the dented filler neck back up.
Inside this tank is like new with no rust or loose baffles.
Then I started looking at the rear shock, the new XT one is slightly different where the circlip holds the spring retainer, will have to do a few measurements as the XT has a adjuster rod up the centre of the shaft.
One fork leg has a bit of surface rust up above the triple clamps so I might see if the other forks that came with the bike and are Showa's are interchangeable.
Other forks.
