Hi everyone I have been using a guy called Darren Yorwerth for a couple of years now for any bespoke machined & fabricated parts I have needed for my bikes. He's based in Wales & typical examples of what he's done for me are stainless steel extra heavy bar end weights to get rid of vibes, see...

Hi all, I'm after some advice on the best way to sort out a problem with my hub. Checking my bike over a few days ago I noticed that the rear hub had a lot of play, I was surprised because it's only September since I had the hub powder coated and then rebuilt with new bearings and a new rim...

NEW BATCH NOW IN STOCK 01/062015 2 taken leaving 4 spare sets. I visited a CNC machine shop last Friday for my work and whilst there asked them to quote for sets of fork extension slugs. These will be CNC machined out of aircraft grade aluminium and will be similar to the attached image (one...

I am not an expert but recently bought an xl125 1984 in red all original. When bought it started first kick but rattled its head off after a strip down found the cam bearing part was worn badly so it was machined by a good engineer so there is no play up and down on the cam. Assemble engine...

I really could use an education on suspension. I have a RD03 with a stock front and progressive springs. I changed the oil and replaced it with the advised amount. I don't notice much of a difference. I've decided that an upgrade is in order. I know that I also need to do the rear (at least...

I've been looking into getting a sleeve made to go over the output shaft on my bike. I've been told that making a sleeve would not solve the problem of the shaft wearing. The only way,would be to re temper the shaft. Using electricity to heat it up,then quench it in oil slowly to add carbon from...

Hi all after a lot of thinking (and calculation on how much stress my bank account can endure) I went for the Boano Sachs 48mm USD Fork Kit and a matching rear wheel Öhlins shock absorber for my '98 AT. So far everything went according to plan (shock absorber is in place, steering head...

Hi peeps, long time no speak. Some of you might remember my badly damaged AT of a couple of years ago. I finally got myself together enough to make a proper go of fixing it up with some replacement bits and have been messing around recently with some new(ish) forks, but having pulled the...

I'm very close to being able to SM my TA. It will only cost me the price of a machined front axle to match the TA forks to my old XR Sm front wheel. Now, somewhere, in either my storage lock-up or the garage at the other end of town is a cut down XR sidestand that I modified so that the XR...

Hi, hope I'm in the right place, first post and all. I have a rather bizarre problem with my recently purchased AT (1997 RD07). The rear hub has been machined wrong from the factory. This means that the axle is slightly off centre, particularly on the right side. I initially thought this was...

For sale is my long loved XR this bike had a complete top end rebuild before Xmas, rings, seals, new valve guides machined in and cut since then it has done 150miles roughly and 1 road trial which was around 180 miles. Reason for sale. I'm not using it that much at moment i'm using the Gasgas...

The snows have finally receded and I fired up the Transalp for the first time since I garaged it in November just before the onset of another harsh winter. Now that it is ready to play on tarmac and not ice, I found myself contemplating last years SM wheel plan. Both SM wheels come from my...

Just a quickie I thought I'd mention to all of those people that love performance upgrades for AT's. Last weekend I visited Rugged Roads HQ, in a secret underground bunker location, to collect some parts I'd ordered. Whilst being escorted through the R&D department my blindfold slipped and I...

Finally, what we've all been waiting for, and what Honda and other after market part makers couldn't be bothered to give us!! Rugged Roads have answered the prayers of owners of the RD07 and RD07a models who have experienced failure of the plastic nuts that retain the choke plungers and guide...

a long shot I know but I thought I'd give it a go. I've got a pair of risers for the 1150GS, I put them on and didn't get on with them so took them off after a couple of days. I'll let them go for £15 and will bring them to the national if anyone wants them. or post them out at cost...

One of the fettling jobs on my latest bike was to replace the carb rubbers. So, while the airbox was off and the carbs out, I decided to investigate the emissions system that adds fresh air into the exhaust ports. It's a fairly simple system. There is a drilling through the cam cover all the...
