Quote:Lee, i assume you've had no issues with the plastic tool/bits holder next to the engine !! you got them on the Enfield also i remember..No issues with the plastic tool tubes on the TDM, on the RE they sit much further out in the crash bars. It's worth knowing a 0.47 litre Stanley Classic flask and a 1litre alloy drink bottle fit inside the tool tubes exactly.
The flask can save time at coffee stops. Buy a big coffee to go and fill up flask. Drink whats left over. Next stop no queuing up.
Start with flask full and hot each day. I did this in Spain and it saved me loads of cash. On the RE, the right side had 1 litre of engine oil in alloy fuel bottle as Ruby drinks oil a bit in hot weather.
On the TDM oil is not needed, so one is water the other coffee.
Tools go in another tube under topbox rack above tail light.
