Rebuilt cockpit with help of Andy Miller, see photos section.

(Mainly to strengthen existing rally cockpit frame and locate the GPS forward and allow it to swivel. The result is I can read both GPS and road book while standing on the pegs, also they swivel so I can get the position right when Im sitting down more than standing)

Paid for rally , with early bird discount, total came to EU 2380
about £1580

Serviced Suspension (rear shock was devoid of oil!, front oil too heavy)

Put new motocross Renthal handle bars

(wider and flatter than Renthal dakar bars. gives good ride position.)

Sent IMO for service
(internal battery was dead)

Had seat recovered and softened

Tested and Re-wired cockpit wiring extensively.

(wiring was always a problem, solderings came loose and rubbing causes failures etc. Tested on ridgeway, Oxfordshire and on Karims Thatcham Rallyraid of Discovery)

PS Karims Thatcham Rallyraid of Discovery is my own custom off road trail ride 48 miles as a loop from Thatcham, Berkshire. mostly green lanes and woods. highlights include a disused air strip and bi-planes to see,also a WW 2 army pillbox and an abandonned Honda C90 in the woods. Im Always willing to take people out on this trail, it if you're in the area let me know. it takes a full day.
