It has begun...
Yes, with a new bike in the shed the farkling bug has hit hard and there has been quite some progress...
One of the first things I ordered was a bottom ring for the tank so it could accept my SW-Motec tank-bag.
Before fitting it I did another little job to tidy things up...
And then the mount went on like child's play...
Works!Then another old farkle was added to the front brake reservoir so that the GoPro has somewhere to park.
This was all prior to the BRRBT ride and since then things have got a whole lot more serious. One of my priorities was to fit my PC-8 fuse-box and get all my electrical goodies sorted. This necessitated some nudity...
Whoops wrong side but at least I found the radiator... All sorts of stuff that you don't want to be mess with...Before tearing into this little (yeah, right) job I consulted the web and the place where other S10 owners located their PC-8's was as in the picture below:
I had a good look at this and was a little concerned that water might find it's way into the unit as the fairing is designed to funnel air into this area and I figured that it'd probably funnel water under certain circumstances. Probably not the best idea...I parked this job while I waited for Dad to pop over and take a squizz and carried on with the next job.
I decided to add a bash pad to the bike not because I intend to be crossing logs or bouncing off boulders but because the oil filter looked like it was a little vulnerable poking out...
