not much more to do to her now, did think of a tail tidy but as we use her for touring and have to put the Melboy Seat on with all the Givi Luggage, there aint much point.She goes like an absolute rocket now even with 54k miles on the clock.

A quick question for you ..... that DB is the same as on my bike but I've suffered from the plastic instrument surround getting melted around the tacho in the centre.


How long have you had that screen (are you using an edge trim on it)..... presume you've not had any problems?


:dunno:

 

[russ_fae_fyvie]

nope never had any bother, had it on for about 5 years without any probs and it never did have the edge trim, that was whay I got that one cos all the others were a pain when the trim started to come off.
