    Flea bay

  You can get them in different lengths.

I went with the 8” because it might help protect the plastic and should help support the dry bag.

Do i get someone on ebay to make this? I'm confused. sorry

I liked the price of the Tusk rear rack. The brackets that mount it are 1”X 1/4” mild steel. They don’t really have any where you can get a good grip on them. The handles are manufactured by a company called Don-jo. They are most commonly used on commercial buildings as door pulls. 

   You can do a search on EBay and several sources will come up. Hope this helps.

Today I installed a modified IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor.

It's just behind the LCD dashboard.

 

In Italy there are two persons who modify those temperature sensor. I choose "belinassu".

 

The concept is to modify value of the temperature which is read by the ECU. According a non-linear curve.

 

The purpose is to fool the ECU into believing that the outside temperature is lower, thus enriching the petrol mixture, respecting the stoichiometric ratio.

 

I am not too competent, so I do not want to be exhaustive and I recommend you to read more information about it on the internet.

 

The bike now no longer has the annoying ON-OFF effect at low revs (for example in third gear at 3,000 rpm)... do you know?

 

So without changing the control unit you get a very good result, with softer and more useful low speeds in off-road at low speed.

 

Note: It is recommended to fit a more permeable air filter. I chose the one from Guglatech (always Italy).

 

Here some photos:

Do you have any action pics of the lights at night?

Sorry, took a while.  Here's a couple pics and video.  Turn on captions in the vid for descriptions of lighting stages. 

 

 

The Upper Cutoff for the low beam in the pics is about 60ft.

Low only:

Fitted a RallyRaid 80Nm rear spring.

 

Set preload at 7 clicks from 0 preload (soft) to get me close baseline sag. (I'm 75kg + gear).

Also fitted some RallyRaid stainless rear wheel spacers:

Good evening from Greece.

 

Today I’ve paint my tyres just for fan. I’ve change bolts from from seat, I add protection decal at forks and most important? Tutoro chain Oiler. I’ve put it inside right panel and it ends in from sprocket. Is it safe?

Went for a short ride with some friends. Got to try out my “new” GPS. It’s not actually new, it’s a Garmin Etrex20 I was given as a gift 10 or more years ago. I found it and it still works! I was able to route us to a fun class 4 road. It was very wet, but we had a great time!

Hepcko and Becker make a low crash bar.. Which looks nice in black or stainless.. I will either get these or just crash bungs as I don't ride off road. 

Cheers Aleks

I've fitted these bars and also the H&B bash plate... great combo!

I brought it home yesterday and introduced it to my DR650. 

There was some kicking and pushing when I locked up the shed. Kids...they'll sort it out.

Which exhaust is that? I like it, in a 'on someone else's bike' kind of way...

I filled her up for the first time and took a slight detour and got it dirty for the first time.... 16 miles on her now.

Also installed 20mm lowering links, raised the forks to match, and installed my RAM mount! (excuse the messy garage, we're renovating the house :classic_blink: )

I allowed my T7 to breathe a little better. Definitely "feel" a difference in power. More responsive. Wings exhaust are extremely well made . Installed one on my 690. They fit so well . Very deep tone. Supposedly titanium thru out with real carbon fibre end piece and heat shield. Comes with DB reducer. I have left it in. Great piece of kit . Made in Slovenia. It was about $450 w/shipping to US. Took ~ 4-5 days from order!

IMO it’s the best bang for the buck exhaust on the market. I also have one on my 690 and the T7. I believe the owner of Wings was once part of the development of the Akrapovic exhaust for KTM.

Almost said the same thing. It sounds very similar and the quality is equal to an AKRO IMHO.
