I think the T7 is too heavy for serious muddy stuff however.
I suspect it is!
You should have got a nice 690 or a 701 as they're 50Kgs lighter (but don't tell JB!)

That looks rather nice Trickster!
What you need to do now is come over here for a bit of off road riding. We can do a few muddy lanes on the TET and then I'll take you up Buster Hill on it (not a euphemism) and we'll see how you get on

Is that Butser lime works ?
Do you not have ride in ride out bike tyre fitters there?
When I get my tyres changed, I just ride in, sit in the lounge and have a coffee then ride out again half an hour later with new tyres all nicely balanced. They charge me £25 over the cost of the tyres to do this. Life's too short for fighting with Harley tyres.

I’ve ridden that route over Butser .... its a twat up - and a bigger twat down... chalk - rutted- twat of a route....
I seriously considered a Husky 701 and had one specced up but Giles made me focus by saying buy a bike to suit the riding you are actually wanting to do not what you think you’d like to do. So the T7 made more sense particularly as I want to do some of the Northern European TET stuff and maybe Iceland in the future which means having a bike comfortable enough to get there in reasonable time and also capable of enjoying the tracks and riding once there.
Two Avon Cobras fitted - Ride in - Ride out - about £220...perfect

Others may come and go but this is a bike for the long term.
Have a soft luggage system already in place and GPS sorted. Thinking of some of the Yamaha crash bars for the front, heated grips and a set of barkbusters and I’ll be good to go.
Good to hear Tricky, I'm keeping mine too. I have Bumot soft luggage on the way as well as Oxford heated grips. I need to mount my old Zumo GPS still.
I use Jesse black boxes (meant for a GS1200) on my FXSTC!

How do they look? Did you fabricate the brackets yourself?

Looks like they worked well. Are those air horns?
