Sat on a crf300 rally yesterday and the suspension was so soft I thought it was never going to stop compressing. Felt like a very small bike compared to the drz.

Anyway, fitted the new renthal bars today and happy with them. They give about an extra inch an a bit rise. Haven’t ridden it anywhere yet as fitting them was a palaver.

Couldn’t get the threaded inserts out of the old bars so decided not to break them so have to get some new threaded inserts out but some new hand guards.

Couldn’t remove the Oxford heated grips in one piece so took them off in many pieces and threw them in the bin. Had to take the tank off to remove the wiring and a fuel line broke so replaced that too.

Relocated the ignition to a more accessible place that won’t get smashed when I crash. Still couldn’t fit the crash pad to the bars though as it obscured the speedo. Still can’t see it brilliantly but well enough.
