DL650 Windscreen trims are a poor fit with MRA Vario
« on: January 22, 2016, 17:40:19 »
The previous owner of this bike had fitted a Madstad and tall MRA Vario (he was 6ft 4"). The plastic trims were missing which bothered my OCD. What bothered me even more was the £25 they cost  :shock:

Anyhoo, not only were they ridiculously expensive but they are a poor fit with the tall MRA (apparently not so much with the shorter version)  :shrug:

The Man Cave kettle was put to good use today, 5 minutes in boiling water made the plastic pliable and a much better fit  :fix:

Not the biggest of jobs - but very satisfying to do, that is! :)
