That bracket looks sweet Kyle  waytogo. I was gonna get one after your suggestion, but I ended up getting a stock Termi/Remus bracket that a member had spare. Swapped it for some low mount brackets I had.... But now I'm tempted  Grin

Yeap! Quite nicely built too! Pretty damn impressed  waytogo

Seemed the obvious solution to my problem, which was the cans didn't come with brackets, LV wanted ~$100p.p. from the US for the stock brackets which hung off the footpegs.. This is far better/cleaner/etc  Grin

If you don't mind me asking, how much was all that to be coated? Where from?

Cost me $100 all up, which included the blasting... I had 10 pieces so it cost me $10 a piece (also got the passenger pegs done)

Wasn't sure if that was expensive or not, but the convenience of the place and my schedule suited me well. It was done by precision coating in seven hills... They did an excellent job waytogo and only had the parts overnight.

I used to work at a powdercoater and I'd say $100 seems very reasonable, especially for that turnaround time.

i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.

Good wash.
First ever solo oil & filter change. Went smoothly (was carefully researched  waytogo). Got to get a bigger socket to do the filter gauze thingie next time...

Ordered 14t front sprocket, chain adjuster tool, Rhinomoto bar end sliders and CRG bar end mirrors from monsterparts...Fathers Day gift from me to myself!

Don't be afraid of oil changes! They're piss-easy  waytogo


Yesterday/today I did a quickfire trip to penrith and back via the putty....
While riding spritely through the 12 mile home I felt an abnormal vibration through my butt, Thought nothing of it and continued on my way.. But could feel it consistently above 80kmh..

Just got home and put the tail up on the stand and found that one of my rear axle bearing dust covers is missing and a couple of balls outta the race missing... FARK  boo
