In the words of the great orator, Ricardo di Wapping…..’I thought I’d start another thread’ specifically for detailing 450 accessories/mods.
Myself, Wapping and Posh Pete have already ordered the new bike and many more will realise it’s at the peak of motorcycling and take the plunge.
I know Richard has received a sat nav mount and PP has inquired about pannier frames.
I’ve just ordered some better tyres from my local RE dealer.
I narrowed it down to Mitas E07+ Enduro Trail or TKC 70/TKC 70 Rocks.
My dealer uses Cambrian Tyres and they don’t list the Mitas so went for the TKCs
As recommended by Conti, the front 90/90-21 is a standard TKC70 and the rear is a 140/80-17 TKC70 Rocks, which is a tad more aggressive
Dealer gave me 10% off and price is £245 fitted .
Not bad.
Next
Heated grips ?
I see Oxford now do the grips with integrated controller
As well as the more traditional
Did I read somewhere that the Evos get hotter than the Pros ?
£65 cheaper too !
Finally, I might fit an Atlas Throttle lock as , if I take the bike to Picos and ride back then it’ll make sense on a long slog.
Had one on AT and 701LR
Not sure it’ll fit , as the gap between the end of the grip and the housing is quite narrow
I’ve messaged those lovely people at Rugged Roads to see what they reckon.
