Things to do when you can't ride your bike

[Barry]

I had a couple of challenges that stopped me from enjoying myself riding my new bike, so I thought what a good time to dress it up a bit.
Here are some pictures that may be of interest. When I bought the bike I added a quick release summer screen, a set of foot boards, crash/engine bars, tacho, highway pegs and stainless steel pipes. So far so good. Now I have added a flame stitched solo seat, chrome mudguard rack, clip on/off saddlebags and matching tool bag. I also removed the pillion foot pegs. The rack was supposed to fit this model (so the advertising said) but I had to modify it, there was no way it could have fitted out of the box. Would like a belt kit but it's not imperative. I should probably call it quits now, have had a few positive comments on the street and if I add any more 'stuff' I will need to buy the engine upgrade.

Well done, now get on with riding it.

I too think it looks great!

One word of warning on the front tool roll bag.....watch that nothing too heavy is in there as I have seen front mudguards get dented when you hit a big bump and the forks allow the top of it to make contact with the bottom of the tool roll.

I thought having a weird sense of humor was REQUIRED to join this site......or at least remain a member.
