Sump guard was on it but I thinks it's CRD

Hand guards were off eBay similar to the Zeta guards but more than half the price

Looks nice..

Those racks seem VERY beefy though. Almost like they were built to take Aluminium heavy boxes.

But they're the last boxes you'll want on a DRZ though. They don't have the power or the subframe to handle them.

Off anywhere nice ?

I have soft bags but wanted the option to put my Ardcases on

Trips will begin next year

Just a couple of outings later this year to Wiltshire / Salisbury Plain and a weekend up in Scotland

Looked at one last night. Lady owner put it away "wet & salty" some time ago, so you can imagine what it's like, finish wise. Battery is dead, so not heard the engine running. Chain is a rusty hoop, sprockets are brown furry things.
I'm popping out to see it later - hopefully to hear the engine running and to actually try out the seat for height - you know me Paul, Mr "Broken-Knee-Short-Arse" ;)

Stan's was lowered when he got his so he might still have the lowering links

Other than that some bar risers and pull the forks up through the yokes

You'll be fine

I think Johnnyboxer has just taken lowering links off the one he's bought.
Not all those wandering are lost
