From some of your previous posts Col you like anything you can eat

I bought a naked bike, I want a naked look

  But you are not changing a naked look with a tank cover?

I think he's being funny, as in no clothing/naked ?, but I could be wrong.

Col, a tank bag made out of cheese for you, just in case you get hungry. others have the pan, bacon n cheese sounds good.

add a bit of onion, dash of chilli flakes, mix 'em all up & put on some ciabatta split bread rolls, grill for 10 min!   Yum.   Now for a beer! or 3

I laugh to myself at those who "want the naked look" only to then stick a screen, rack, top box and god knows what else onto their bikes..
Mine has no screen or top box so its still pretty naked in my view.

I wanted to hear about Hoolis' Pan, not more cooking.   -   well, I made some great garlic bread tonight as a starter before tea, than made chicken in green curry & coconut cream.  Most agreeable too it was.  Only a couple of ales to wash it down as it's only Monday night.

Im with Speedy on this one... although I do understand Dave's logic on protecting the tank etc....

Please please please.... before anyone does it.... no photo's of food on here - there's enough of that sh*te on FB!

I had a bagster on my Pan, very handy as already said for attaching bags (or in my case a map pouch).

@Hooli  You had a Pan?  Care to share your experiences with it? Good?  Bad?  Why you've not got 1 now?   I'm interested because I've always like them, but never had one.

@KiwiCol I had a '94 ST1100 non-ABS Pan for a couple of years. It needed the big givi screen in the pic as the standard one just aimed all the air into my eyes, in a full face I couldn't do over 20mph with the visor up! Apart from that it was a great bike. I did about 20k miles in two years & the only things I'd have changed on the bike if I kept it longer was a fireblade clutch lever & throttle tube as I was told these fit & give an adjustable clutch & quicker action throttle (the standard throttle needed two handfuls to fully open it).
Duller than a 14 obviously but very practcical & more fun than I expected. I sold it as at the time the only correct sized rear tyres I could find were Avon Storm 2 Ultras & Bridgestones. My experience of them was neither worked in the cold or wet, not much use on what I had as a winter bike really.

I did ride a mate's ST1300 too. It was much less comfy due to a crap seat, slightly easier to chuck about as the weight felt higher but overall didn' feel as nice to me. I never noticed any difference in performance either.

Hooli, not my type of bike. i like my old skool lookin naked, ride within its limits, fairly high limits i reckon. i have rear rack brackets, rack on/off in seconds. rack on, bag also is a few seconds. Ventura, a great option. my wife on rear, also on/off in a few seconds. yeah, makes it a naked with multi options. well worth the $500 for Ventura system. Different days require those options. https://www.bikebiz.com.au/ventura-aero-spada-51l-kit?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkNyugY6N3QIVTT5gCh1rZwaWEAYYASABEgLh3fD_BwE

Not really mine either but I was struggling to deal with a neck issue & thought a fairing etc would help. No way I was ruining my 14 with a huge screen & if you're buying a screen you might as well buy a Pan. Having said that, if I could have got tyres I liked I'd probably still have it.

The neck issue turned out to be a badly fitting lid making my head shake at certain speeds. I hadn't noticed but when a screen didn't help I tried a spare lid & wished I'd done it months before.
