Doesn't look like he's ever going to fit panniers.

Not sure that's exaggerated a bit by the camera angle.......also, look closely, it's not finished yet.
That's one fecking cool looking bike though, proper stripped back

Proper off road afternoon. A-mazing. This bike is very very capable, as if we didn't know already!
Green laning in comfort. The balance and poise of the bike in rough stuff - it's genius.
Rally mode
Rally throttle mode 'off-road'
Slip control level 8
ABS 'Supermoto' setting
Front Compression 17 clicks out
Front Rebound 13 clicks out
Rear - 'Normal' settings
I'll play about a bit more with these settings but the way the bike steers in Rally mode/8 is brilliant. Sliding the rear wheel as a non pro was relatively easy and great fun. Karoo3 tyres fine, not great in soft mud. With Slip control 8 you can just gas the throttle and the bike hunts for grip like Toni Bou! If only I could ride like him

Must've been mechanical failure.
Although I have to say my TB Superman looks identical.

Rear shock looks a bit hard for me.

Two different angles
Can someone explain the point of this please? It looks awful. Assume half of the 'project' still needs completing.

To develop race bikes for Team Kapriony.
Essential mod: 2.6kg removed from the top of the bike.

What’s the CCA on the lithium battery ?
Enough to easily crank a GSA and then a 1290 and now a 790. Been round the block this battery! Doesn't suit the 1290 as much because the stupid keyless bit runs it flat in a few weeks (or less) although there maybe something else drawing current that I don't know about. The old GSA had keyless but the battery never went flat - must work in a different way I guess.

I don’t think I’ve used lithium batteries, are they fairly deep cycle or do they need to be used to stay charged ?
Looking at where the battery is mounted, removing the 2.5kg, is it noticeable ?
Lithium batteries hold there charge for a long time. They don't love the cold. The good ones shut down before they're completely flat to prevent permanent damage to the cells I believe.
I've fitted them to all my bikes that I've owned over a number of years now and not had a single issue apart from current drain on the 1290. The one on the Freeride has gone to hell and back in rain/snow/heat and continues to perform perfectly.

The CCA of the JMT battery is claimed to be 210.
I love the concept but note that 48 Wh on the lithium-ion battery works out at 4 Ah, compared to 10 Ah on the original. I understand what this means but not how it might impact us in real world use.
Normal battery chargers will damage the battery, so you would need to buy a battery charger designed for LI batteries.
