Yes the bush was well and truly stuck, it pulled out in the end though. all greased up with marine grease now.
 and it looks like a new chain is next.
Â
the eagle eyed amongst you will spot the previous owners attempt at lowering the bike with flat bar.
a couple more jobs to do and i will be ready for summer.

Guy on another forum gave link to this place. I have not dealt personally with them, but at these prices, what's to lose? Â http://www.banggood.com/Wholesale-Motorcycle-Lights-c-2107.html

Scottoiler installation  finally completed, and I got my first ride of the year in. :badgerrock:
Â
Â
Got home with a big grin, and a light sheen of oil on me chain. :good:

I hated the grey on the Givi's soooo, do it all again.. Plus some new bolts as OEM were a little short, also remade the mounts for the new bolts
This time I am happy.Â

That looks like a tool tube mounted on the crash bar. Â Is that right? Â Any other pics of how it's mounted?
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - arthurbikemad - 12-02-2015
It is mate, its mounted to the hole in the engine casting, a small alloy L bracket and two bolts, very simple, will post a pic for you asap, then crudely two zip ties as seen round the "odd" givi strap/plastic whatever they are supposed to be mounts, never known what Givi intended them for but they clamp onto the crash bars, my guess was maybe to strap stuff too?? I keep some zip ties, bungee cords and maybe a snack/drink in the tube, its very handy! Cost £20.00 I think all in from the USA on eBay
Â
Â
Lots to choose from

A picture would be great if you get the time. Â One of those would be perfect for the longer trips. Â It would free up some space in the panniers and top box from thos tools. Â Room for more whiskey! :good:

The storage tube is mounted with an L bracket on the unused engine mounting, has a made up bush to sleeve it down to M8.

If anybody is interested in those tool tubes listed on EBay . . .
Â
Agrisupply is the original vendor for those tool tubes:Â http://www.agrisupply.com/manual-canister-large/p/67670/
Â
And the cost from Agrisupply?? $5 (3.25 pounds for you in the UK). They became so popular, that people starting buying them and reselling them on Ebay and elsewhere for a huge markup. Not sure what they would charge you to ship, but worth checking.
What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today? - arthurbikemad - 12-02-2015
Good call, mine cost just under £20.00, shipping and VAT was included
