Why would you put 900 mirrors on a GSA  

 

 

 

 

 

Why would you put 900 mirrors on a 850 ?

[Studley Ramrod]

Taxed the Mk 2, put a set of 900 mirrors on it & took it out for a blast this morning   first ride on it this year 

 

for a 21 year old bike, the old girl can still bounce off the rev limiter no problem, & had to tone it down a bit when I saw three figure speeds on the speedo 

 

Am now going out to do the same on my GSA 

 

Nice to get some bike time eh.   Even better on a TDM.

[fixitsan]

More TDM than the rain could handle

Yes, it was a hoot - but going on the route I normally take my BM's on exposed the need for better suspenders on the Mk2 - will have to get that Wilbers unit put on my Niner & take that for a spin. Boy's yeller one has Ohlins back & front - but that might change before he he gets his hands on it    - it's going for a restrictor kit to be fitted next week - I know it's a simple job, but need that letter from a dealer to prove it for insurance purposes.

 

Anyway, what was the  grey engine paint people use to freshen them up - fecking thing looks like it's got leprosy .....I know Waspy looked after it, but the next owner has a lot to answer for cosmetically

New plugs fitted  - what a F on compared to the 850

Dablik's just bought an M-shock fer his mk1, might be worth a punt at £350.  Yeah, a swap over of suspenders on the 9'er seems a sensible idea.   I'd also wait a month or two before painting the engine, going off his track record.   I think ChrisR found a matching paint from Halfrauds, can't remember what colour it was, might have even been frame paint thinking on.

[dablik]

Yep M-shock looks the dogs and was made pretty quick.....might get to try it soon

[Studley Ramrod]

Soon as in 2017 ?

Might be 2018 before he gets his kit back from France  to ride it - the way it's going at the moment  

 

Missed our early holiday, now June & July are out, & it gets too hot in August - so September is looking the earliest
