The main listing is for the 850 think the example they used is for the 900 that's all
Mine is a 96 4TX think they are the same as the 3DV
You just send them a message when you order, model year then the colour and type of lever you want
Hope that helps
Timbo 😀
PS just had a look the listing for the 850 seems to have gone so you might be better off checking they still do them


Great stuff, thanks Timbo

Did the Halfords oil and filter change.

The filter housing went on nice, square and without too much mess.

Used a copper washer more suited to my van oil changes, but it seemed to do the job sufficiently well.

Took flippin ages tipping the new oil into the tank. (They could have made that easier)

Then had to cover a good 18 miles, up and down A4 Box Hill, stopping at the Shell each time, to check the sight glass.

It was empty on two occasions.

The bike took close to 4.2 ltrs once I'd gone home to fetch another 0.5 ltr squeezy bottle to top up with.

 

Then I made a short video of my led gear indicator arrangement like I promised a couple of weeks ago.

Spent a day in the garage sorting out an intermittent error 33 which has been popping up now and then.

Switched on and no go, thumped left fairing tried again and it goes, but then comes back, engine runs very lumpy. I thought I could detect a slight miss yesterday coming back on throttle, but it always picked up.

 

It turns out one of the coil connectors is a bit weak and has been sort of falling off the wire. It must have been me pulling the wires when I fitted the gear indicator. :punishment:  New terminal fitted checked all the others and all is good.

Get kit on for a test ride,

Rain came down, so took it off again and cleaned the sidestand switch instead. Also fitted stainless screws to all the airbox to throttle body rubber clamps.

 

I never did get out for a ride as a mate came in with his 04, Z750, wanted his stator changing, a fairly simple job.

Couldn't face putting back the rusty casing screws  :unsure2:  and ended up changing the lot for stainless cap screws. :rolleyes:

Losing my battle to get the downpipes cleaned up, think they're too far gone.  Tried wonderwheels and coka cola but there's a lot of black stains still remaining. I have got some polishing compounds but can't remember where I put them. :rolleyes:

 

Soooooo, currently buffing up the cans :) then it's all hands on deck for degreasing/cleaning the front sprocket area and swingarm and under the engine, weather permitting.

Enjoyed a ride out for a couple of hours, and while out I remembered the Divvy 600 I bought last month runs out of MOT on Thursday....so I rode that too and gave it a clean, booked it in for it's MOT tomorrow, and rode the TDM some more to make an XJ600 ride sandwich ;)

Peeked under the cover to check that I'd remembered to turn the fuel tap off on Monday.

Pushed the TDM carefully out of the way to take a £500 XJ600 divvy for an MOT.....it passed :)

 

Only posting a picture of it because I'm chuffed with how well it cleaned up......  another TDM pic will be posted shortly because I realised my avatar pic doesn't include the Scorpion exhausts......and I'm just going to record how they sound with a Sony PCM recorder so you can have a listen

Do you have any idea how long it took me to figure out what you meant !

 

I couldn't record it on video because all my video recording gear has poor sound quality compared to the recorder I used .....but.....even then......

It's still not quite the same as being able to feel the noise they make ;)

When I got them they had two different db killers in, one sounded more 'spitty' than the other, the other sounded more subdued but deeper (the latter one is i think the original Scorpion type). I've found another 'spitty' type and now they're the same.

Measured the space under the panniers for the new cans before whipping off the standard ones. There's more room there than I thought. They should be here tomorrow so they'd better fit! Mind you, I could always have luggage days alternating with noisy days! :lol:

It's all last minute, decided to do it yesterday lunchtime. Still haven't had the accommodation confirmed so I won't get on the ferry until I know i can stay there in a bed ! Otherwise I was still planning a long day's riding to Dunnet Head and back ,which is plan B. Forecast is for it being cold in the Highlands, especially through Aviemore. Got me camera ready :)

Fitted the 3500mm oval Delkevics. Pleased to say there's bags of clearance under the Givi Tk33 panniers.

They're really nicely made and well finished and they sound AWSOME!! :lol:
