Nice neyzen!:thumbsup: If I had the money, I'd like to get a wrecked Street Triple and put longer travel suspension on it and do logging roads/easy trails. Others will say "Why not just get a Tiger 800?". Two reasons.....I like the power delivery of the Street much better(the Tiger 800's is too soft imo) and it weights too much!

as a long distance dirt rider, lemme tell ya, the STR is a wonderful street bike. not a dirt bike. the rake/trail of the front end will not work in the dirt, it's wash out city. sure, knobbies will make it better but in the dirt you need totally different geometry.

buy a DS for dirt riding, you'll spend less and enjoy more. :nod:

Nice work. How much did that put you back (if you don't mind me asking)?

My baby got some rear axle sliders and spools to protect her if she goes for a slide down the road.

Very happy with the spools as they have a spacer that offsets the spools so you can still use a rear stand without it fouling on the axle slider. I hear the trumpy spools are close to the swing arm and using a rear stand will scratch the swing arm. These are so far off the swing arm it shouldn't pose any problems.

I cleaned it not to long ago, but really working on low speed manuvres for my riding test, so plenty of rear brake dust being made and dirty back rim.

haha, you dont want to talk about brake dust.... :rofl:

practice moving the bike under you at low speed rather than trying to lean with the bike. the circle is not as hard as everyone says, it's actually quite easy.

I think if I spend more time practicing and riding the bike then cleaning it, I'll probably come up trumps......

Ha see what I did there?
