I'll start with a well done for Steve T for getting out there and prodcing a postcard quality photo.

Nice and warm in the garage so....
On the Black V7 Stone: today I trial fitted the screen in the hope of getting it in the right place before I paint it.
Also fitted the Givi rear rack which now provides a grab rail to help with pulling the bike up onto the centre stand.
Both V7s were covered and when checked were a bit dewy. So I pulled off the covers and put a fan on full power and set to ocillate and blow dry both bikes. The KTM has not been covered and did seem to have any damp patches.
I have not cleaned off the grit from the swing arm as I am still trying to work out how to make something that will keep off the filth. At present it really irks me and haunts my dreams. It's not just unsightly, the clutch operating mechanism is right there in the line off spatter from the rear wheel. Another chance to show off the Bagster tank cover and glimpses of the Givi engine bars which are a whole lot beefier than the Chrome bars supplied by Moto Guzzi.
