Honda XL185s

Trusty old Honda

At Dirtywhitewalls, Pindock, 2004. Red shocks, Gaiters and Frame

New rear shocks, Black.

Sometime later, 2015

A problem with the exhaust stud meant engine out which in turn meant treat and paint frame and all other roadworn parts and have a poke about in the engine.

                                      

                                                

Camshaft journals look a bit unhappy, a trip to Petrer Arnold Classic Race engines will be needed soon.

                                               

                                     

                           New seat cover, no more gaffer tape, rebuilt the seat pan, black gaiters

Goodbye project 'Kisama'

Goodbye, Sold to a mate. At least I get to see it and ride it once in a while. Quite like to do a Hard tail next.

Final Details

Firestone revealed in white, 'Kisama' Kanji painted on exhaust, Some Pics

A little testing

Proper ride soon to see what falls off

Finished, enjoying sunny back garden

Rear licence plate holder, Rear light, Wiring diagram.

I went for a Kedo battery lesser unit and located it as tight as possible under the seat along with the CDI unit a step away from the previous bike but kept with the location of the regulator rectifier as on the previous bike.

Rear fender stays

Had to do the rear mudguard justice. Cut it, press it, shape it, drill it, prime it, paint it
