Accessories - your recommendations for the following:
« on: October 04, 2017, 07:55:30 »
Having finally found time to collect my new (to me - 2014) model Vee, (have been moving house) I feel the need to splurge on the following items - what have you bought that works and is good quality and suggested suppliers?
It's a touring model fitted with the awful Suzuki quick-breaking-locks panniers  :grin:
Items needed so far:
Rear Hugger -
Extended (higher) screen that doesn't hit mirrors on full lock -
Frame protectors for heel / boot area
(no, not sticky-back plastic from W H Smiths)
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
The Mind is willing, but the body is past use-by date

Mirrors. People rave about Tuono mirrors. Pretty yes. Give me my "Barn Doors" so I can see what is behind me! I have choice - I choose Suzuki,

Welcome to the fold. You've got most of the things you need on the bike, crash bars, main stand etc. Add a givi airflow or mra screen, I have both, mra for summer and givi for spring autumn or longer trips. My hugger is powerbronze but they've went up in price a lot lately, I'd try givi. Mirrors I use kawasaki ern-6, nicer shape than others I think.
Get a givi top box mount and replace that washing machine exhaust can and your good to go! Enjoy the bike.
