[CReamflourish 172]

Stripped off the plastics ready for a good coat of look-over and a deep clean. She's a bit mucky underneath!

Hey Jimmy, I did not want to post my temporary OEM seat fix on the SC thread.

If you want to soften the OEM seat . . . Cut the seat pan to allow the firm foam to sink into the seat pan a bit.  
It works better than expected.  I still want a 1pc SC Rally low seat . . . if it is not narrower than the stock seat.

you can start with a 1.5” - 2” cut.  It relieves pressure on the tail bone.

This looks good. I like the idea of being able to keep original parts if possible. 

 

How did the installation go? 

 

How does the quality seem?

[Rlynn10304 15]

Fitted underbar mirrors. 
not gonna link the ones i used as it required some finagling. But it works and i like em.

I am onto this, brilliant idea. Mine only needs to be a little bit better. I was going to add a gel pad, but i have reservations about actual comfort improvement, heat and durability.

[Tom McDonough 88]

A soft foam pad under the the stock firm foam works too.  I did this on my MT-07 to raise the seat for more leg room.

it maintains the OEM seat shape.  I used a soft exercise foam pad (wife’s yoga pad) . . . 
 

You could cut a section of the OEM foam out from the bottom side to place a soft gel pad.

 

You can remove the two rubber bumpers to drop the seat a bit to offset a pad under the seat foam

-powerbronze yellow headlight guard

 

-heated grips oxford adventure

 

-phone holder with wireless charging

Very easy!

No need to disassemble the originals to put them, you have to open the angle a little to make the curve bigger and that fits perfectly inside the handguard. The quality is apparently good to protect the originals in a normal fall and that they do not break, I suppose that the alloy in one type Barkbusters will be better in terms of resistance to a great impact.

 

Replace the screws for better ones,  are really bad. 

 

I mount them thanks to this video.

I'll be honest; There's not a lot of things I've put on the OEM exhaust that haven't... melted.

Installed these today. Makes chain maintenance and winter storage a lot easier. The spools will be unbolted when I’m riding so they don’t snap off when I tip over.

Giving myself a couple options for caring extra fuel, rear plate or side mount. Either only takes about 5 minutes to setup

Stripped it down even further and treated the inside of the frame with wax. Some portions of the tank and outside of the bike got a coating with  ACF50. 

 

 

Then I installed a set of engine crash bars.

 

 

And some Touratech goodies for the water pump and brake pedal.

 

 

And a happy new year everybody. 

In hindsight are you happy with and would you recommend the Touratech water pump cover ?? or go with something different ??

[CGras 259]

In terms of quality it's great. I can't tell you much about its effectiveness yet though because I haven't ridden the bike since.
