usually my windscreen is on brackets(selfmade) and higher(separeted from original windscreen) I've removed them and bolted the extension lower because I expect some offroading.

Bike looks very good!

Could you show us these selfmade brackets?

I'm curious how you've done that.

Wind protection is always a pretty hot item on a TDM :)

As for me the form is very close to original. About 20-30mm wider.

OEM 25-30 euro more expensive - this is my benefit  :)

FWR tyres in Kennington did this to my TDM back in 2002 after fitting new hoops and both bolts came out,  brake caliper was hanging down suspended by the brake hose so when i applied the front brake the brake fluid followed the path of least resistance and did nothing to slow my progress thru a sweeping left hander with a buxom pillion on board so the boike stood bolt uproight and i took the chance of running across the curve and into a bramble hedge. The boike remained upright and we were fine but had to have us and the TDM recovered back to south London. I now remove and refit my own wheels.

These arrived after I got a refund. Sat there for ages until Monday when I found 10 L brackets in Lidl for £2.

Need a switch and to move the RHS in a bit but I'm well pleased and how they fit

Fit the relay, I tapped into the dims but also fitted a switch on the handlebars so I can switch them off if I need to, check back on a few of my posts for pics on the lights working
