Just in the process of fitting these lights, had to muck about and find good enough mount brackets for which I found in Screwfix. Offered them up this morning, don't look too bad just need to rub them down spray up black and wire in. Ordered a dedicated wiring kit on line and should have it done by the weekend.

Tapped the ends of my new Renthal Ultra Lows to accept those 300gm stainless bar ends.

Takes a great deal of effort to get that M16 tap going, but once it starts, it goes in straight as a die Smile tap (There's nowhere else for it to go)

BONUS - The hand guards still fit and don't foul at all.

There will be no vibes with these dumb bells fitted.

I might do that. (or send you a tenner)

 

I bought these

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NB...1_1&sr=8-1

 

They need a bloody good T-bar on them in order to get an even purchase/twist on them, so you may want to ask around for one of those too.

After meeting Dablik and enjoying a chat yesterday at Hartside, today I have fitted the wingrack and my  large capacity touring reservoir for my scottoiler to my 900.

 

Many many thanks Cliff.

 

The cable tie on the bottle frame is a breakaway.

Converted Splodge's while we were in Portugal as he was getting sick of filling the S.O.   V system up, (he has the S.O bottle now). When this lab bottle gives out I'll have the choice of blue n yella or hi temp red n yella S.O bottles.

 

Bottle holders can be had fer around £1

 

Holds over 0.7l & lasts fer ages/easy ta fill too, but one does get grubby scratchers when one has to fill it again.

 

Not an original idea of mine.

...wouldn't a "large capacity touring reservoir" be a good idea for 850's engine oil as well ? Kinda 4 litre piggyback reservoir "hidden" somewhere on the bike ?

Genius.

You could put it above the engine, below the fuel tank?  :good:
