Saul Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I ordered a few bits for my CB and they turned up today. Hand guards, screen and main stand. Let the farkeling begin in the morning. Have to be careful though as it is the Mrs's 59th Birthday tomorrow so have to make sure she is happy before playing bikes. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff I've had from there has been decent enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I am very pleased with the main stand, looks decent quality and powder coated. I was expecting to have to paint it when it came but it looks pretty good as is. The screen looks just like my mates Puig, the handgards are okish but will be functional. Obviously not as good as the Givi ones but will work. I put some pictures up when I have fitted them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 Fitted a USB and 12v outlet, plus got a small tank bag with a window so can use my phone to nav. Also a tail pack to take my works bits. Saves me messing with a box this time. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straps wrapped around the grab handles? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you done the spring yet? If not get a load of 2p coins, wedge them in between all the coils until the spring is longer. Fit the spring then use long nosed pliers to remove the coins one at a time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loops on the bottom of the pillion seat designed to be used to strap stuff down, I have just run the straps for the tail bag through them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
