Polisport hand protections

Mini-blinkers (i'm buying the Givi panniers, so I believe these will fit nicelly with them)

Mobile support (still not wired, but allows to see who's calling, and stop if needed)

Very very nice!

I see you also cut down the stock guards to keep the little part that goes around the lever. I've done this on all my bikes as well. I didn't like the looks of it completely nude... and I thought it'd collect more dust and such. Great minds think alike here!

Hey, how about a full side shot of that black beast?

To tell you the truth, I've been somewhat inspired by your creations...

After removing the complete bits, it seemed quite wrong to let all the bits all exposed to the elements like that.

Sorry for a late responce...

The engine has allways consumed oil at high rev, according to the garage it's a manufactor problem where the pistons and the cylinder aren't 100% round and the rings can't hold the preasure at high rev. Soo I'm doing a rebuild this winter to get it in top shape for my trip to Canada next summer. Can't mount a AT engine since I need to have the same enginenumber on the reg. card to get it into US and Canada... :(

Been locating a '97 AT engine with everything (including wires) for under 10.000 SEK but then again that will not work in the TA...

I go for a rebuild and hope it's enough or I'll sell her off and get a AT instead haven't decided yet...

Any Canadian AVriders have a later model AT they would like to sell?

We are interested in importing one into the US of A?

Thanks

I finally got around to doing the GIVI top plate on the custom rack. I wanted to mount it a bit higher up (to distance it from the exhaust and to be able to run straps underneath it). I used some solid AL stock that I cut into 1 1/8th inch spacers. I then drilled them to allows bolts to pass. I also used a shops sandblaster to give it a nicer finish (and to match the AL rack I had made a long time ago that's still underneath). blah blah blah... it's just a GIVI top plate mounted to my AL rack, but it actually looks quite beefy... and it's something I had wanted to do for some time.
