She looks great, how do you find the screen.

That is very nice. It matches my leathers perfectly. I'm just about to put the high bars and touring screen on mine as a winter project. yours is the first pic i've seen with that setup. Does it cause you any buffeting?

It's a shame that in the States you have to have that horrific looking emissions cannister on the back.

Why do they have to have that big black thing if its got a cat? and what is the odd looking thing on the front forks?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the black thing under the seat is a charcoal cannister which is inline with the petrol tank breather hose, to prevent any petrol vapours evaporating into the atmosphere.

The stuff on the forks looks like the mandatory (in the USA) reflectors and an after market PIAA headlight set.

Cheers,

Paul.
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Screen, Can etc

Post by teufelz99 »

I thought that can on the back right side was for the ABS no? Who knows havent read all the books yet. My K1200S has a similar device under the seat that i know is for the ABS. Anyway, the windscreen is actually pretty nice. I am fairly tall (6'4") and it diflects a lot away from my helmet. I got stuck in the rain two days ago, and very little of it hit me.

LOL got me dude. i-Gremlins have taken over your computer..... sorta like they've taken over my house. Ok so I don't know what the deal in Britain is with radar detectors, but over here cops are a right pain. Anyone have any good ideas for me putting my Valentine 1 on my bike?
