Leaving and then coming back.

 

Dug Dug restyled

 Poor Dug Dug my 2011 C5 Classic 500 has been off the road for 2 years now. Last ride was for DGR 2024 in Narrabri. Then we sold and moved and Dug Dug went into storage.  To get it back on the road I need to replace the steering head bearing. They are so notchy. I had also nicked some stuff off it like the rear guard and cut that up for Little Dug. So need to replace that guard.  So I have a cunning plan. Fitting a BMW R50 rear guard. Different front guard. Also thinking about getting a 2 inch stretched swingarm to make Dug Dug longer and lower. Also a respray in a different colour. Frame will stay in its original colour.  What Dug Dug looked like when I mothballed it.  Proposed makeover.

 Have been looking for a "hood ornament" for some time now to go on Little Dug. Found some. 2 the same. So one for little Dug and the other will go on Dug Dug my C5 Classic 500 when I recommission that bike later this year.
