          I like that - I've even got a Golden 200 rear tyre to go on the other bike that's already kind of brat-tracked at the front.
          I don't suppose you'd mind if I copy that - seeing as you're on the other side of the world, the chances of there being a co-incidence of bratted 850s is small.

                Custom made Pete. Have a mate handy with the steel
                Light and electrics are off an old Suzuki TS enduro bike I think...
                I reshaped a Harley Dynaglide rear for the guard.
