Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

thanks to Stankflappers old body parts..[ the trx ones..you havent seen him yet].. ,ive made a similar style to Kevtrx849,s red and black finish,..only ive used a gold pearl for where kevs is black..and a white three layer pearl..[left over from Kims job]..for the track number panel..thinking the number 69..wadda you reackon...and the remains of the old 180 rear tyre that i cut off the rim, in ready for the 170 now on..much better......the tyre photo shows how much is left on a tread wear limit..about 5mm on the apex..ive also fitted a set of vent grills into the front fairing. [as this is a spare now]..from a Hyundai front bumper insert..sorry for the quality of photos..the last photo is the red outline on the clocks and the nice billet fuel caps done in china now..oh and the large screw driver is in the plant pot is for the agressive Koalas this time of year--its mating season...

clocks,fuel cap and koala whacker..!!

Why did you CUT a tyre off the rim, were you checking out how sharp your Koala throat slitting knife was?

gidday Mince, the tyre took a nasty puncture and was really buggered/too wide and the 170 was ready to go,i cut it off to clean the inner rim of the origional cacky purple colour and to paint it black...did you all know that our Goanna --[its a big bastard lizard] ..oil whan refined will pass through GLASS ???

the trouble is finding something to hold it in...

But why cut it off, was it simply that you couldn`t be arsed to have it removed in the normal way from the rim?

Goanna oil can get through glass, wow, now that`s interesting and a little weird seeing as the most dangerous chemicals / elements known to man usually get stored in some kind of glass or vitrified product.
So what DO they keep it in some kind of plastic?
By the way, thought you might enjoy this little gem, check out the last heading `bull*hit or not`

Here`s another find:

It seems that goanna oil is not strictly what it says on the packaging in many cases.
