Dropped EBC HH pads in all round, stopping power has increased nicely :-)

First service finally done. Time to open up!!

Put her up for sale :( A friend was trading in his Tiger 1050, a bike I've always loved, and offered it to me for the trade in price... Had a lovely blast around cheddar yesterday, I'll miss her greatly once sold. Only had the Wee for 7 months, but just can't pass on the offer!

Nothing too complicated today.
Just fitted a new tank pad which I think looks great.

Cheers!

Note: I am trying to attach a picture! Bare with me.

Group nudity may not be allowed on here, that'll be why your picture isn't showing........or did you mean bear with me?

Removed the front mudguard in readiness for giving the fork legs a fresh coat of paint at the weekend, I'm glad I had a good stock of drill bits on hand!

Getting everything ready and final checks ready for the run down to Devon on Thursday.

Jht, all I can say is nice tank protector, and in reference to the bare post, just remember the 9 o'clock watershed....

At least you managed to get yours off...

Finally got around to opening the package containing the Givi airflow which turned out to be a Kappa one -Hello ho. Fitted to the bike surprisingly easy even for this old biker, now all I need is for it to stop persisting it down so I can try it out!

paulja · « **Reply #8294 on:** May 24, 2018, 23:31:59 »

Isn't Kappa, Givi by another name?

I am interested in the airflow though, so do tell when you have tested.

Rusty Nuts · « **Reply #8295 on:** May 25, 2018, 05:24:16 »

It is, but if you pay Givi prices they shouldn't send you Kappa.

Old Biker · « **Reply #8296 on:** May 25, 2018, 11:01:19 »

Bought it via the internet, wouldn't know if it was Givi or Kappa price, I'm a sad old biker - will post again as to its effectiveness if and when the rain stops!

SuzukiSte · « **Reply #8297 on:** May 25, 2018, 14:07:30 »

@Old Biker I have Givi rails and a rack on my bike with a kappa top box works great.

Old Biker · « **Reply #8298 on:** May 25, 2018, 21:08:43 »

Well it did stop raining, so what can I say, the screen is brilliant. I'm a tall old biker circa 6'5", and the difference the screen makes over the standard one is truly astonishing would highly recommend this upgrade.

SimStrom · « **Reply #8299 on:** May 26, 2018, 22:11:27 »

Got the front end 'tart up' finished off and put back together

Might even take the rear wheel off and give that a coat of silver on the bank holiday

It's quite funny really, I only bought this bike as a 'winter hack' to save ruining my BM & H-D with the winter salt

It's become my 1st choice ride every time we go out! I love it!!
