yes, I've got one for some days now and my first thought was about foot pegs because of my long legs. Now I see, how I can easy realize that :) So I need this guard first.
I recommend the PUIG windshield with an extension. They look great and the screen mounts much lower and not in the field of view. The stock windshield could have been much better, it should be 18 inches, or have a mechanism that allows it to raise and lower.
The seat is so poor that I invested in a pair of padded cycling shorts ! The other thing that would improve it would be adjustable footpegs (although they would not be much use without more adjustment on the brake+gear levers).
The michelin pilots are really really the best tires EVER. Have been riding for about 9000km now and only remember losing traction in the rain once in a corner, i ride aggressively and dont mind rain. You are more likely losing traction downshifting rather than accelerating with those tires.
Hoo-ray ! You finally talked! And what a nice voice it is too - apart from the funny accent! Good video. Loved the printed narration too. Sounding like your riding buddy butting in. Funny. Thanks for taking the effort to share.
if you still have a bike, buy a snoto chain guard, keeps all the excessive oil from going all over your back wheel and disk, its dirt, but was oil first.
Good bike - makes a lot of sense especially around town with helmet /tank storage and auto gearbox. Like your gadgets though I'd have a large tank bag and a Garmin sat-nav on the bar above instrument pod. Tyres come with the bike?
What is the chain oiler again, please? I didn't catch the brand. Where are you in this video? EDIT: I scrolled down. Lubeman. Simple piece of kit. I had a Scottoiler two decades ago on an Africa Twin, but it was prone to go wrong. It once stopped working just leaving London on the way to Portugal and started working when I got back.
why say "I'm sorry for smoking"? If someone gets offended, they'll just be offended. The NC, no nonsense mc, that will be around for a long time. Thanks for high lighting the chain oiler as my CTX has a chain . One less thing on an already minimal maintenance machine.
chakib - Not sure what country you're in but I bought a similar looking pair in the United States from a company called denniskirk.com They're probably made for Harley Davidsons but you can also get some mounts there for 1 inch crash bars. I have them on my Givi crash bars as well. I don't remember the name of the pegs but they might be kuryakyn.
