as mentioned on the 'Other' forum - it's looking superb Andy! What's the knob in the middle of the top yolk for? Looks like an old fashioned choke contol

I seem to recall something about carbon fibre wheels.
No, really...

Yes a few nick nacks due to go on .... not an exhaustive list but including:
- Those CF wheels (waiting for a set of tyres but will probably wait till the better weather now - no point in squaring them off over winter and the OZs will do fine for the next few months)
4-pad callipers
Radial clutch and brake levers with braided hoses
A choice of 2 sets of shotgun cans (will sell the ones I don't want)
Probably stick on the Evo or Rene air kit until I make my own
Still got the revised fairing stuff to do (Tombaa style but with my own twist)
Revising my navigation mount and power supply
Still not installed my rear-view camera
Must get that tail tidy done too
Oh - I dunno - I'll have to go and have a look at what I've got lying around waiting

The only thing wrong with that bike is the crappy luggage frame, why o why can't manufacturers make something that doesn't look ugly.

LOL - the rack is not on there at present but TBH practicality matters more than looks

It's going to be the only bike that I know of with a pair of CF wheels and a Givi rack...

a cynic would suggest that the weight loss on wheels should be shared by the owner :)
) I thought I'd take some pics to remember what it was like before the next load of changes get underway.
