Hi

I love X9s and have done for so many years, but with parts getting hard, even tho i have a whole back up, engines, frames, forks everything, i has got my thinking of moving to a burgman 650, but while i am thinking of that, i have been doing loads of rides,  last week i did the Dent ride over the tops and visited the Dent warter fall, some lovely countryside roads and visited the pub we went to on one of ower Annual club  bash:

X9 ( daves ) is going well - Few flybys

 


Over Dent and the moors and lovely roads

Out yesterday on Gina. Faultless and easy riding.
Logged

Gina shares the current stable with Nelly (Tornado 900). Had a Vespa 150 Super when I was 18 and my dad courted on a Maicoletta. 2 wheels are in my blood as I'm also a Time Trialist and general headcase. Gold E46 ragtop and Fiat Coupe 16VT are my current/most recent brum-brums. 61 and won't grow up. Acquired the 2003 250SL on 6th June 2021 and so far have lifted the screen to height position 3 and replaced the OEM seized shockers with YSS jobbies with 2 chunky washers each side of the replacement units+original spacer on preload 2/5. Replaced the worn Avon Viper Stryke boots with Pirelli Angel Scooter. 25K miles used but not abused workhouse from Cov with yearly service for sub-a-grand so happy days. A few scuffs but nowt of consequence. 20mm thick Neoprene sponge bonded to glitzy, reflective Jintan top box with pillion back rest solid bumper lump. Just changed my n/s rear light bulb without removing the rack and top box. No mods to the rear panel hooks performed either and re-installed the 2 x 10mm bolts for rear light integrity so not to rely on the 2 x latch panel/cover screws.

I'm not finding the parts that hard to get yet, but then shopping from Italy is easier than the UK for me.

I'll keep throwing money at mine, because I'm not one to bin perfectly good stuff, be it white goods to motor vehicles when I can just crack on and fix it myself.

My 500SL is ex-UK. Previous owner's brother has it in Essex and was LG02 SFE before it came here.
