[david a hall]

What's the orange sock on your fender for?

Because its not a 63 plate.

A temporary item, just whilst Mark (mate) Hooten knocks something up to protect it.

I'm not convinced Nutty, Sorry , it looks good

But it isn't as easy to wheel around IMHO,

I took the frame off today, and I put it straight back on after trying to wheel the bike into different positions, especially trying to reverse out of my parking spot in the garage, there was no where to push it back with my right hand,

Actually I have the same problem, the OEM rack is very handy as a purchase point.

It`s even harder on sticks................

Point is? I much prefer the scaffolding myself

Seriously, is the intention to stop folks cloning your plate on an identical bike? (Though can't they do this if they see your bike on the road)

Or is it to avoid making oneself a target for garage theft (if so have you removed the geolocation data from the image file?)

I've often wondered why people mask their plates.

It looks a bit 'naked' IMHO - but each to their own.

My bike is an Ex-demonstrator and although in lovely condition, the luggage rack is badly marked and does not look that good. So if anyone who has removed theirs and has no intention of putting it back on, would they consider selling it for a reasonable sum?

its the only way to go...

love it

Perch removed and I see you already installed a fender extender, well done. Is that black rear cover the BMW part?

 

[bellyboy]

no its a self made one until I can find funds for a v smart version of Mr Hootons,,,


to which I will add a very slim Gel seat pad for emergency use..

Lovely bike. But desperately in need of an Akrapovic exhaust.

The seat is the BMW Enduro seat, and that comes with a small plate that covers the back of the bike.

mmm, reminds me of a seahorse now, sorry. looks like a low slung supermoto with a raised head!

Might be a great bike, but possibly greatness is better left alone.../

WHY EVEN USE THE F BIKE?
