    Hi
    Today was a really wet day, so I was boring in house and decided to extend the S10 hand guards.
    I had something like this from Touratech in my previous GSA and worked very well in the cold and rain.
    To make this in the S10 is necessary cut a bit the OEM hand guards but you can do it with a drill and a cutter.
    Then you only need make the pattern you like with a semi-rigid black plastic and fix it with two screws and that’s it. :thumb

    Nice idea. I need to send you a Roto-Zip. That's a lot of drilling my friend.

    Stack of BBs. It's what we desk workers do.

    It's an American phrase when referring to government workers or a person who seems
    to do nothing yet can have control over a situation.

    "Some BB stacker is sitting on my waiting approval."

    Same as a hole counter. Someone who sits all day counting the holes in a ceiling tile.


    I guess in Spain it would be someone how spends a day drilling a series of holes in a piece of plastic.:dunno
    :wink::D

    LOL! Sorry to hear that....hence if you had checked the output of the boxes, and it was less than 12v, U would have had the answer and would not need to proceed to the risky test. :evil

    I have the 21” front wheel so we can start to build the front fender brackets and looking where relocates the horn. Next monday I hope to have the new metallic brake lines and start with the centre and side stands.
    It looks great, I’m anxious to try it!!!
