Thanks Bud, I performed a few Google / eBay searches awhile ago which only bought up new side covers in the USA & the odd mudguard. I'll have to have a fresh look, I've been told all sorts of brews of toothpastes, wet n dry & which corner of the mouth to push your tongue against while applying the elbow grease, just hoping to gain some knowledge

Amazing how time gets away! 20 years is too long! Do you still have a bike??
I have slowed down heaps. I am actually just enjoying just putting around on the XR. I have a couple of much faster bikes but I am a bit more worried about how hard the ground is now.
