I need to get a new cover for my seat but am not absolutely certain its the correct seat. The reasons for this doubt are that the bike is non-standard being ex-British army, and on the back of the Acerbis long range k, the seat fixing screw is in the '600' position rather than the '250'...

Hi. Just joined the forum after buying a 1997 ex-army XR250 which I intend to fully restore. At the moment I'm in the process of taking it apart and, unfortunately, have reached the point of trying to remove the swinging arm pivot bolt which must be corroded inside the back of the engine. This...

Anyone ever used one or knows someone which has?I know they are big in pack size but that is not a worry as i am going solo. Just wondered if anyone has used them in earnest as in proper cold? Cheers Pete

i have a pirreli mt43...275/21 front in as new condition... and a Mitas Sport Extreme 644 army 120/90/17 condition is nearly new maybe done 500 miles would sell for a decent offer, or swap them both fur some decent road goin tyres or tkc 80`s.

Another tyre question I/m afraid. I have been scouring threads and other forums for the answers. After this, I make up my mind. The RD03 is on army special front and Mitas C-02 rear. On the road, rear squirms and follows any imperfection and front at 60 + feels airborne. I want to run a more...

I have decided to fit some ammo box panniers onto my Dominator after reading some of the bodgers corner threads in this forum. I have located a second hand Hepco and Becker frame for sale and need to find some decent sized ammo boxes. Most of them on ebay seem too small. Where can I buy some of...

Its a hoot! Change of places this year, not Weavers Down but the Bagshot Army training ground. So long as I get a couple of laps in I'll be happy, so get those XR's out and join up!

Since there are some "Old Technology" freaks hanging on this forum, I thought I might as well ask You Guys what stoves you pack when out on tour. As for my self, I just bought a Radius 21 stove in a Primus 41 box. (Swedish Armed Forces used this combination of a stove from one manufacturer and...

Clive Dunn bites the dust BBC News - Dad's Army actor Clive Dunn dies aged 92 Unlike Savile I'd like to think he knew "They don't like it up 'em"

Guess I started smoking as a lad hanging out with the big boys in school at about 13 and it took hold. Then I joined the Army and the term "have a smoke break " seemed the norm. After I left Germany in 92 I moved into rolling my own and became a bit of a wizz at the art of handrolling due to UK...

Due to a rather stupid last minute panic about not having waterproof trousers to ride to Derbyshire in for the Horizons Unlimited meet last month during our summer rainy season..... I have an extremely large pair of goretex army desert camoflage waterproof trousers - I think I could fit in them...

Just been rebuilding the electrics on a ex army XR250RV 1997/8 model , every thing had been hacked out of it. Started with the brake lights and side lights, refitted the indicators, wired back in a flasher units and now everything works apart from when the indicators are on the brake light...
