Got a fresh MOT yesterday after having a cracked front valve replaced. I'll be adding that to my periodic checks in future. Happy days - we're good for another year!!

Not today but yesterday....

 

A while ago, I removed the front indicators and replaced them with 6-LED slim spotlights and put the indicators in the mirrors. 

The mirrors were overbearing, so I replaced them with some bar-ends and custom-made an indicator strip to go around the outside of the spot light. Looked GREAT at night but was invisible during the day.

Have just replaced the 3W spots with 5W variants and they are now real bunny-burners when I turn them on. trouble is that the switch block I replaced has a short in them and they stay on so I need to hit the switch to turn off all ancillary power - which means no horn as well.

 

All coming apart again tonight Sad

"A failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!"

 

Additions: K&N Air Filter; Leo Vince slip-ons; Stebel Nautilus air horn; LED spotlights; Wiring control box for accessories & relays; Givi engine bars, rear rack & wing racks; Barkbusters.

Mods: LED headlight bulbs; 530-chain & only using Esjot sprockets; Airbox modification; Top Sellerie Seat + Tank protector; Bar-end mirrors + custom indicators.

 

185,000+ km (waiting for the day to crack the 200,000km)

Replaced original horn (almost didn't work when high beam was on) with some old one from my old https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnipro_(motorcycle) - the same size and connection but horns louder under all conditions Smile

Yesterday, MoT pass, with two advisories for the worn tyres which are already on their way to be fitted later in the week. Not bad, 9k out of the PR4 rear and 14k out of the PR3 front. Replacing them with a pair of PR3s. 

Today, fitted the pannier racks ready for the Summer.

I rode about 150 miles this morning before the heat got too oppressive.  I got gas about 20 miles from home and noticed one of my cheapo LED drving lights was hanging by the wiring.  I had already repaired both of them with copious amounts of JB Weld, so I can't say the failure was unexpected.  So I duct taped it to the crash bar and headed on my way.  Ordered a couple more, hopefully better quality.

Hi guys...


Just got an 850 3weeks ago...After which I took it a morn till night till dawn ride covering 1200km both ways in less than 24hra with hardly no sleep on the saddle.Riding through the highlands to the lowlands from bright city lights to dark lonely trunk roads.


From that ride...I have discovered some ways to make it into a better riding machine.

so..


The past few weeks...i did the recushion of the seat with a new wrap,Hepco mainstand,GSA windscreen,rox riser and the barkbaster storm handguards....oh and a bigfoot for the sidestand.


Still deciding on tyres for now and oversized widepegs.

Where I live it's been about 5 years since the heat got too oppressive (that's with global warming!).

Fitted tow bar to bike and have taken trailer for first test run.

 

Having partner and camping gear on bike verses fitting trailer and having camping gear in trailer and partner on bike.

[Image: 20150426_111225.jpeg]

No contest. Trailer.

Bike is easyer to handle and there is a bit of extra room for extras.

 

 

 

[Image: 20150621_114525.jpg]

some may not agree.

But when you take a partner, they like to take extras. Plus having a tent you can stand up in is nice at my age. Huh

(yesterday really)

 

Fitted the MRA winglet from my old Tiger 150 screen to the stock screen

 

black tacked it first to check it and was pleased with pressure relief on neck so drilled it and made permanent

 

YMMV though :-)

Fitted a new Pilot Road3 front and polished the bash plate, levers, petcoc and all this shiny stuff. Fitted a new stainless header on ye olde XT and a black aluminium chainguard as the old plastic one has deformed over the years. Found a new acerbis fuel cap gasket at Kedo.de so the locking fuelcap goes into the rearbag again. And polished the darn chrome wheels on the XT. Still to come a small rack for the XT. Pondering alu rims....
