Very nice indeed nanook - still love the shape of the V35's more but i love the colourcoded-ness of your panniers - very sminky!
Is that what PR2's look like almost new?! Id almost forgotton - mine are looking decidedly very 2nd hand.
Forget masking your tdms number plate - ive just taken down the one in the garage!
Very nice, look forward to seeing you and bike later in the month.

nice bike there nanook
just one observation (which you have probs noticed) as you posted a pic of it
is the cross brace on the panears not meant to go behind the mudguard ???
ohh and a little tip (unless you have done it already ) split the join in the givi bars behind the exhausts and smear clear silicone on both sides of the the joining piece where it inserts into the tubes, if you dont it starts buzzing after a few thousand miles and the water gets into the tubular construction ,

Oi git!
I'm thinking of mounting a pair of auxiliary lights on the engine bars - anyone got any good ideas (except Dandy cos he knows nothing)?

Stunning bike Joe !
I've never understood the paranoia of not showing number plates on web photos. Am I stupid and missing something ? I can walk down my street and see
20 numberplates , I can go into a dealers and see hundreds. At the BSB at Knockhill there must have been 10,000 bikes there all with their plates displayed.
Can someone explain this to me please , in simple terms that the village idiot can understand.

The instructions with the side pannier rails said to remove and relocate the indicators, which I haven't done, if I had the cross brace would have fitted perfectly through the holes where the indicators mount on the mudguard. Because I didn't relocate the indicators the brace has had to be fitted as in the pix as it will not go behind the mudguard. Thanks for the lube tip - I'll get that done ASAP.
