New Bling

[SamD]

Added a bit more bling to my 800GS.

1. BMW Adventure Panniers - I got the Varios thrown in when I bought the bike, but I really don't find them very good. You load them up, and if you need to open them once they are on the bike, everything falls out So I've gone for the more traditional top loading Adventure panniers instead.

2. Adventure Spec G-iT rear rack

3. Remus Hexacone end can - seriously fruity note

4. Scottoiler Crampbuster - I've got 2 long trips coming up so I thought I'd give the crampbuster a go and see if it makes it less tingly on the hand

I really like the way it's looking and riding right now - works very well for me

Do it then bring it to the East Mids meet and we can do some planning

You do not want to go there, it is way to good roads for driving and you will be all confused by the midnight sun

Spoken like a true Swede . Don't worry ZZ10 we'll be including Sweden, Finland and most Likely Russia too.

I have an auntie & uncle in Southern Sweden so may have to say hello

Norway has far better driving etc., in Sweden you can travel far in short time.

The midnight sun at the arctic circle is way cool

SamD, I was thinking about slapping a ScottOiler crampbuster thing on my throttle, does it not get in the way when riding slowly around town?

Not so far. You can rotate it around and then you don't even feel that it's on at all.

I'v got a "throttle rocker" (same principal as the ScottOiler crampbuster thing) and they awesome. They don't get in the way of city/tarmac riding and really great. No death grip. Although i do take mine off when off roading.
