How many modifications on your bike?

[laughingBob]

I've just purchased my 1200GS so no extras yet!

LaughingBob What sort of ambient temperature gauge did you fit?

Im interested in the temperature gauge as my previous bike VTEC VFR had a temperature as standard.

Thanks

Ian

From MPS. About £20, I think.

LaughingBob,

That looks quite good, does it fit with a U bolt around the bar or something?

Tried to find it on MPS web site but couldn't I will ring them later.

Cheers

Ian

Ian, it fits to the metal cockpit support frame with a small grub screw. I had to drill an 1/8" hole in the frame to fix it.

You can make a list, but if you're taken so much off it's probably not a GS anymore

As I am off to the USA and want to sell the bike, I have spent 2 days returning it to standard and will probably need another day to finish it off.

Overall total for items now sitting in my spare room. In excess of £3500.00. We are all mad.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, when I buy my brand new Adventure in the USA I will start all over again.(and before anyone asks, I nearly shipped the bike but I fancy a brand new one, with a USA warranty)
