Farkle city on my new ride.

Unread postby PirateRiderBen » Thu Apr 14, 2016 12:43 am

It was like Christmas in April at my front door today.

So far I've installed the SSR peg lowering kit, the Givi trunk, and the Ram mount for my Nuvi 500.

Cee Bailey headlight protector, heli bars, Oberon clutch slave cylinder, and grip buddies remain to be done in the next few days.

I also need to run a power cord to the GPS mount, after bar risers go on though. Since the battery sits right between the triple tree and the gas tank I won't need a very long or complicated run of wire. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Did a trial run of the grip buddies this morning, just sitting on it, they make it feel like a whole new machine. No more hard skinny BMW grips.

Oh yeah I guess you're supposed to ride these things aren't you?

And I thought I had a farkled BMW. You managed to find stuff I never heard of before. Make sure to Loc-tite those pegs. Although don't use the heavy compound - you will need them in the raised position to keep up with Angeli on your old scooter.

I've added the MRA Vario screen, Motozen levers, Sargent saddle, SW Motech luggage rack, Oberon Performance slave cylinder, and LED rear turn signals with clear covers. I also added the carbon fiber tail shroud and a carbon fiber battery cover. I'll add more pics tomorrow.
