Replica 950 Rallye Tanks

I was 1,500 km from Vladivostok, I needed to buy the parts get them shipped to where I was and then still transport the bike to the US. Or transport it to the US and get it fixed there and I wasn't too sure if there were other issues.

On the balance of things I decided to leave it and get another one.

do you still own the bike? or did you give it away? :huh

It adds to the trip IMO. As you've said it may not have been just the pressure spring. Could have been catastrophic. At least in the US things are easier to get and in all probability cheaper.....much cheaper..

Keep us updated with your progress. Are you doing a trip diary online?

Sounds like a good project for a KTM Rescue mission

AMEN... I've got a month off from school and some cashola in my pocket I'd be willing to fly to Vlad, hitchhike to the bike and bum a ride outta there with the bike... and I don't even OWN a ktm!

Gave it away. To a nice a Russian.

Blog is really behind, but is at storiesfromtheseat.com I will get it updated in coming months. Facebook page is pretty up to date though - www.facebook.com/storiesfromtheseat.

Ha,ha,ha if I haven't already given it away......

Hi Craig

Great to see that the trip is going well. Have to say that the 990's are the duck's nuts, now I know why you always had a big smile on your face!

Hey Kaney I heard you upgraded to a real mans bike.

Very cool bike ! Bet you could almost ride to my place in one hit !


How many ks can you get before taking out another mortgage

I get 800 out of these front tanks allone!
Then add the rest from the rear tanks, 1000+? (km's..)

That looks awesome Mick

Im still looking for that black tank!!!

Hey Pete!

Would you send me a PM for a quote for the wind screen and one for the rally tanks?

Thanks! Cheers,

RR

LHS tank mounted (phew) there's a far bit of marking, measuring, trimming but all worthwhile

Relocate the seat keylock to RHS...


measured twice...


trimmed up the LHS cover (should have left the front screw boss intact on the underseat plastic tray)...


trimmed some clearance in the rear guard for the fuel cap...


and nearly finished, just got to modify the LH rack mounting.


again, thanks Pete! beautiful work!!

Nice work. Very neat install!
Should have got you 2 do mine, I butchered my tray

I only tried to make the install match the quality of your (now mine) Tank!
The grey and carbon looks much better in the flesh than my phone pics... actually makes the tank slightly 'stealth'
Now to get it dirty!

I think I may need some more carbon fibre now

Ask and u shall ......

A couple of Petes Work.

them dream the night
even if they were two beautiful girls
But I did 't understand who make them
I must have it
