    Frayed Dave's Yellow Peril

    Here as promised the pics of the yellow peril,I'm currently checking all the fixings,so far I have two different bolts holding the side panels on,and allen bolts hold on one of the front indicators on,both the bolts holding the exhaust protection plate on have sheared,and I found that whoever took the stainless cans of left the captive nut on the end of the offside exhaust box securing bolt,which means there is a small hole in the pipe which will have to be welded,both front and back sets of spokes are dying so there is plenty of work to do!

    I'm going on a trip!

    Yellowy thingy colour

    Hi.
    I think it was originally Yellow,and Black but somewhere down the line it was sprayed all one colour!

    Both fork and disc shroud are black,what I might do eventually is get the colour matched,get it resprayed properly,and get a bigger Dom. graphic.

    I was also thinking about a dayglow yellow,that could be quite striking.......

    I am waiting for the new reg.doc to come back from Swansea to see what it says.

    The one thing you can say is,you will always find it in the carpark

    Chad, when mine is back on the road, your welcome to a car park ride / test sitting - a possible problem is your height. I'm 6ft 2" and can just about get away with it. I'm not sure where you would put your legs ?

    A possible alternative might be an Xr 600 or xr 650 - real mean machines and have longer travel suspension than the dom.

    Anyway as i say try mine when i eventually get out and about with Frankendom.

    I'm 5'11" with a 30" inside leg, and I've got no real problems on mine - although swinging the leg over the seat could be fun once I've got panniers
