Great bike, Scott!

Some questions and links to be provided here  :grin:

2) replaced the rear shocks for aftermarket
Which ones did you choose? From the pics I see they are without piggyback. Can you provide link?

8) led indicators
Also here, very beautiful indicators. Can you source the link please?

Thank you

@Athelstanexxx

Here's a link for the flowing indicators, they will be available from other places as well

Shocks were purchased from Brook Suspension the guys there helped me pick them out and I also purchased uprated springs which were installed by them before being delivered.

LED indicators were purchased from Amazon...they come with running lights (I've not wired them in) and also rear brake lights built (I've not wired them either) I probably could've bought different LED's cheaper but decided I liked the shape of these, also had to buy an LED Flasher unit so that they work as they should.

not a lot to report really from my end.

added a few little extras to my bike.

Clutch and brake lever (will post pics asap)
replaced viper seat for a standard seat (will post pics asap)
rear hugger to fit (no fittings kit or any idea how to do it?)

any help with the fitting of the rear hugger would be great. i.e. how to fit/what nuts/bolts I require? it'll be getting some paint shop attention before I do attempt to fit so  I want to get the bits I need together asap

What sort of Hugger have you got Scott? Mine is a Powerbronze type without the chain guard. If yours is the same I will take pictures and check bolt sizes for you. The other type I know of is Pyramid which includes the chain guard as part of the hugger.

not a clue I'm afraid, it's a carbon fibre one with the chain guard bit. I can't see any markings on the hugger itself.

Sorry mate can't really help you in that case. Perhaps post a picture of it on here as someone is bound to have a similar type and will help you out. Worst case offer it up to the bike and you should be able to see where it should bolt down. That's as long as it has pre-drilled holes🤞

I've attached some images of the hugger I've got. Looks like a pyramid one. I've trial fitted it and I need all the bolts/screws. Does anyone know where I can buy them? Sending the hugger to my local Bodyshop to see what if anything they can do to the fading

@J16SDA - not sure that that is a Pyramid hugger - I had a Pyramid on mine, as far as I know, the Pyramid didn't do ones with integral chain guards
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Little update....

My carbon rear hugger wasn't fixable so I've had it painted black. (win some you lose some) waiting for this to come back from the bodyshop.

Bought all my bits so I can service the bike before I start using it again (away for the lovely uk winter)

managed to find myself an absolute bargain in a top box and rack (monokey or whatever its called) £45

sending a few bits for powder coating tomorrow but after removing my rear footpegs/exhaust hanger to get coated I can't remove the rubber from the pedal (previous owner has butchered the screws and the pin) so I can't strip it down. feeling frustrated by this but I suppose you always inherit someone else's issues.

Can't wait to get back out on the bike though....roll on the better weather

Fitted my bargain top box and arms tonight.

Really not a fan of the look, tempted to remove them and just fit them when needed..as it'll only be used like this for camping trips or weekends away somewhere (when we are allowed)

Also bought myself a new helmet :-) Ruroc 2.0 Core which is a thing of beauty
