To keep this thread alive. Taking a rest near Mid Illovo in the shade.

As my old Electronics tutor at Tech, Mr Esterhuisen would say........... Zit, Zut, Boggerall, Fokall.

I agree with you about the airbox Dan. I am rather going to get one of those red plastic fuel cans & fit it to the rear luggage rack for longer trips.

Welcome to the forum Pieter.

Welcome Brad. Is Queens burgh the upper class area of Queensburgh? ;)

I bought my 701 from Noneking. It came pretty well kitted out luggage rack, hand guards etc. It is the 2016 model. Best thing I did was to do the O2 sensor removal. Pulls like a train from low speeds in 3rd gear.

My favourite at the moment is my Husky 701. I used to ride with the Maritzburg guys a bit. Mally and the crew. My shiftwork gets in the way though.

A bit off topic, but we should try meet up sometime Alan. I am behind the Superspar in Bluff Rd.

Welcome Sam.

Welcome to WD Julz.

EssBee, the spot does basically belong to her. Had to coax her off with a dog biscuit. :)

Welcome Clint.

Chris, I won't put my cockonablock, but that bolt does not look like an original BMW bolt.

I see on Google that the aftermarket shocks available from the UK have these metal cups.

The standard XT500 has the preload adjustment at the top, how these shocks are fitted. The genuine rear shock doesn't have that metal cap though.

Hi Noneking, I hope that you never saw any of these issues on trips with fuel pump or electrical on "our" 701?

Blair on one of the couches. Spoilt rotten.
