Thanks to a few people on here I assembled the bits and asked people way more qualified and competent to assemble/paint etc...After signing up for Bilco's Alaska and then Moab/Deserts jaunts I decided to give my young girl a treat - all working OK before but wanted to ensure as much as i can a trouble free trip....I feel myself lucky to own a R1150 GSA SE a few of you might know.. how we started wasn't bad IMHO...
But it went to Mikeyboy and I was horrified when he sent me this pic - if it was me - I would still be there on the floor picking bits up...<script async="" src="https://embedr.flickr.com/assets/embedr-loader.js"></script><script async="" src="https://embedr.flickr.com/assets/embedr-loader.js"></script><script async="" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>Thanks to NeilDD who supplied it and TunnerUK who painted it I now had a matt 41L tank..<script async="" src="https://embedr.flickr.com/assets/embedr-loader.js"></script><script async="" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>Obviously Tunner wasn't happy with Matt and now it's all shiny...<script async="" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>At this point I hassled Mike with various bargain bin items I have been acquiring.. Pivotpegz, fastaways, John's Stage 8 chip... Chris Shaw's stainless kit etc<script async="" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script><script async="" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script><iframe frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="flickr-embed-frame" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" width="600" height="800" data-natural-width="600" data-natural-height="800" style="overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; width: 600px; height: 800px; max-width: none;" data-loaded="true"></iframe><script async="" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>I then hunted for some Moto GMT light mounts - wonderful things they are:
Only to be reminded they were already on - knew I'd read how good they were.. thanks Paul
I then was instructed to buy (by several people ahem!!) a Top of the Line headlight and grill guard
Many moons ago I bought from MikeO a cockpit trim - being a buffoon I stored it with my other "bits" and Chris painted this too (along with the beak) to match the tank
The ultra-observant will spot it on the bike...<script async="" src="https://widgets.flickr.com/embedr/embedr-77cdfbadde15654081e0143481c549e8.js"></script><script async="" src="https://embedr.flickr.com/assets/embedr-loader.js"></script><script async="" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
