Great stuff. Was out myself yesterday and not been in the T7 for a few weeks and I just wanted to ride and ride. Great pic

I have to ride at least once a week.. For couple of hours to get rid of the "Itch". That's how I call it

Amazing how well the bike handles and how enjoyable this bloody engine is.. How do you like the bike with the new spring? Big difference in behavior? Cheers

Just feels plusher so far and not really pushed it yet as roads were still damp yesterday. Looking forward to taking it off road again, so I can really test it out. It will be better for sure. So easy to take the shock out too.

I will have mine installed end of February by the company who is working with rally raid... Can't remember their name... I'm not that good to be able to change it myself

Great. Be good to know what you think when you get it installed

What a crap day it is today.. Winds are very high in South UK and I'm unable to go out . 

I'm contemplating on getting the small exhaust from dominator.. Could be loud

The rally one from t7 sounds amazingly loud but double the price...

I'm not sure I'll be doing anything with the exhaust, neighbors are close and I'm pretty sure I'm the first person up in the morning in my close proximity neighborhood. I plan to take this bike to work where as I don't take my KTM 690 - no luggage for stuff.  Don't want to piss them off.

If I were to do exhaust upgrade,  it would be a *Free Sound Upgrade* by Adrian.  Keep up the ACF-50 plan, I heard about the corrosion.

I would like to keep the stock exhaust for when I ride in Europe, maybe an aftermarket one will be to loud for multiple days in the saddle.. Wouldn't want to ruin the stock one... 

I'm still waiting on lextek to come up with their link pipe as they have some amazing sounding mt07 on the web. 

Time will tell.

Been a while since I've posted here... Had to go out to the office today and used the long way to get there and back... 80 miles journey on small country lanes... Just the way we like it.. The bike is a dream to ride and handles amazingly well.. Love it... 

Enjoy the Easter weekend chaps. 

[Aleksandar13]

On the way back from Torque Racing where I have been to set the sag and get a new spring fitted. 

Amazing how this changes the bike and how well it handles... 

Wonderful roads and decent weather made me take the long route home.. Covered 80 miles on the way back. 

Loving the setup more and more..

Nature and the beast... Compete harmony

Adventure this weekend is to keep the wife happy ... This means garden stuff and new fence... When that is finished we are a step closer to achieving another target... 

Two bikes in the garage... 

For people following this thread I have attached a picture of last week's ride as it was nice outside and I've managed to make a route and see some nice place I thought its nice to share... 

Hope Hump Day finds you all well and safe.. Roll on Friday for a small ride and test new screen

[Aleksandar13]

Celebrating 3000 miles last weekend... A lot has been changed since new and the bike is still putting a huge smile on my face... 

Loving the new screen which I've put on as its eliminating the buffeting I used to get with the stock one. 

Attached some pictures from couple of rides I've done. 

Once I finished the screen I'll be out and about on the lanes this weekend... 

Rally seat end of next week, exciting time

[Aleksandar13]

Tested the new sprocket today and I'm pleased... Black screen works a charm... Just another 7 days for the rally seat..some pictures from today.. 

[Aleksandar13]

Spent another 3h in the saddle today... Weather was nice and warm but a bit windy... My bum is in need of a rally seat.. 

Coming next Friday.. Can't wait

Have a great weekend.

Thank you Steve.. Appreciate it

[Aleksandar13]

Took some more pictures this weekend and the places you get to see on a motorcycle trip are amazing... Nothing short of breathtaking some of the views... 

I will end up buying better gear to take pictures as I find this to be a passion that I have and like to share...

Some of the views and buildings in the UK countryside are amazing.. So grateful to be able to ride and tell the story. 

A bit poetical in the above lines... Hope you like some of the pictures

Evening ride today was one of the best I've head in months I reckon... Bike and me were like one after the first 20 min and I started pushing the tyres on my home route

Tried to stop a guy with a t7 today, red one but he didn't quite understand my gestures .. Maybe he is here as a member who knows... 

Hope everyone had a great long Bank Holiday weekend.

Last weekend was a bit short for riding but still had some fun... Got my bar raisers in today and will mount and test ride tomorrow... Or Saturday.. Got some new camera gear as well so all being well quality on pictures should improve. 

Attached from last week

Friday ride... Testing new rally seat and bar risers from SW Motech 30 mm raise... Don't have words to praise the new riding position...  Someone has thought me to use the word : bossing  the bike .. 

@Rich has recommended using risers and they are stunning... Control the bike better and easier and so comfortable... Thank you for making me spend the money where it needs to go

Here are some new pictures taken with my new camera... Hope you enjoy some of them...

Thank you... It is easy these days as information is available for free almost everywhere... Just needs time and willingness to do it. 

Appreciate your input.

LOOKING GOOD!

 

As you mentioned you put riser on it, were the cables long enough/loose still/at its end?

Thank you for the appreciation... Yes the cables are all good tested lock to lock with no issues... One downside is that they don't fill the original gap perfectly... 

I have posted in what have you done to your bike today.

Very good photos. 

Soon you have material for book about adventure trips. 

Keep it up with our sharing.
