Minor Winter Project - installing suspension worth 1/3 of the bike - Page 13

Nope, haven't had the tank off yet. That's coming up, with the 12,000 Km service. Looks like I've had everything off that isn't under the tank though

I've posted these elsewhere, but they really kinda belong in this thread. The mods are pretty much done. Just adding turn signals to replace the reflectors on the Givi saddlebags, then putting on a set of barkbusters for Fall riding.

Looks good.

The Barkbuster "Storm" handguards are sort of visible in this shot.

Just tested the AdMore Lighting LED inserts in the V35 Givi bags and Jesus Christ, but they're bright!

Close ups of.the.hamdgaurds.please. I need some on my vfr during winter.

Papa_Complex · 10-16-2011, 11:54 AM

Here are a few shots of them. I think that you'd need the single sides bar end mounts and the extra weights, rather than the single sides clamp mounts that I used. Barkbusters doesn't even list anything for the VFR though, so I'd suggest checking with the VFR list first.

Hey papa. I never noticed you had a half tank cover. Just and FYI if you've never had one. They will get dirt under them (mostly top) so I recommend taking it off often and wiping down the tank so it's not scratching up the clear coat.

Yup, that's what I do. I also wax it every time that I clean the tank, to help protect it. I still like the half tank bra better than those stupid stick-on pads.

You know your bike would look a lot better with crash bars.

Believe me, I've thought about it. Ultimately decided that I had already added enough weight to it
