Sump guard and side stand went back on after that photo was taken - definitely needed it today greenlaning!

I was thinking about taking the centre stand off by it was the chain tensioner that stopped me, and sometimes a centre stand is rather handy! I'm not sure where I'll go from here, but its a lot better off road than a standard lump!

I gotta say that looks reeeally good, in a rufty tufty badass marine kinda way. Great - it's the bike James Dean (Bud) would've cleared the fence with no bothers!
Now get the bloody centrestand off and fabricate a tensioner mech. It's the biggest weight saver.

Ditto! ditch the centre stand and fit alloy and titanium nuts and bolts - My goal is to make my Armstrong 604e lighter than my blue 500 kicker.... 8-)
