Great work Crazy Green man Curtis! Please, whenever you disassemble anything in future, take a heap of photos front view, 3/4 view & double up photos so you never forget how things go together. The green meanie looks fantastic! When you definitely get time, re-grease the headstem bearings & double check the lower fork brace seal. Cheers
The KLX is coming along! That has to be exciting. My KLR has been apart so long I'm in the same boat, how does it go back together? 🤣 name... Click, or Klik, (KLX) or Hospital Jello, or Slimer, Limey, Frankensaki... 😁
Great video, Curtis. I'm looking forward to seeing the first ride. Would be nice to see a review of the 800DE as a commuter. I believe you mentioned you ride it to work.
mate, good job!!...love the diversity on this channel - and your down to earth normal -ness. 😀👍......did wonder why you're wearin the hat in the shade...but i spose its a qld thing...😄....will be great to see you tearing up the scrub on this beastie and doin' further refreshes and mods.
Great to see the bike all fixed up and ready for action. You'll rip Glass House apart. Curious to know what you spent in total including all the parts. Cheers
I found the standard size pucks on the steg pegs on my drz are too slim to really lock into so I have just swapped them out for ebay special skateboard wheel for some extra meat, yet to test ride though, only done this in the last few days... see how you go on the klx with them '
Hey Curtis, WW Shock Absorbers at Virginia in Bris will sort your rear shock in no time!! They’ve rebuilt quite a few shocks for me over the years… first class.
My DR350 should be back on two come the end of September, just in time for the temps to drop below 100F here in the AZ Wastelands. It looks a little less together than the Green Machine, but I'm doing a bolt for bolt restoration, cause it's 35 years old, so it needed it. Cheers, homie!
Solid video - some of the best content on YT mate! I think this bike screams 'The Mantis' haha
Cheers from NZ!
Cheers mate. The Mantis, that's badass
