Fitted Heated hand grips on the weekend, the second best way too keep your fingers warm. Cheesy
A little bit more tricky on a S4rs not much space for the relay under the tank. Tongue

Cleaned, prepped and buffed my M1100 so I can take it into Frasers for a quote on trade-in price on a new '13 848 SF. I'll let you know what the outcome is as soon as I get the balls to tell my wife  Roll Eyes

Well that idea died a quick and natural death. It seems we're going OS for a holiday next year and we can't afford a new "Toy" as it was delicately put. So as in all good horror movies the Monster isn't dead yet and will arise in a new form. I went to Bikecraft who have done most of the work on my bike, ostensibly to get a quote on getting all the "PI whoopsie marks" painted on the tank and frame. An hour later I had signed on to expand the quote to a custom paint job, replacement of the pebble-dashed Rizoma gear on the damaged left side of the bike, a bespoke FG belly pan and best of all a set of Wizard Sleeve pipes. Brad at BC wanted me to put my ideas down so he could capture my requirements better so I did some PS work (forgive me for the < artistic result) and below are the results.

This is the stock photo from Google, a red 1100s with Boom-Tubes (I think) that I started with



Here it is colorized with a smoky grey gloss paint on tank, frame and tail, hopefully a couple coats of clear lacquer to give it depth. Also changed the color of the forks to reflect my standard Showa forks. I want to remove the Ducati stencils and instead have the 70's twin wide & thin stripe across the tank and matching on the tail in a silvery white color. I don't have that on the Shopped photos but you know what I mean. You can also see one proposed shape of the Sleeve pipes, powdered in a gunmetal.



Here's a slightly different pipe length and shape.



And my personal fave, with a slight bend in the pipes, which looks better and will probably deflect exhaust heat build up from my legs at slow speed:



Comments, suggestions welcome. I'm hoping for the quote to come back on Monday or early next week and am happy to share.

Jim

Cleaned down the rear hugger after noticing the oil residue from the crankcase breather filter. There was quite a bit actually.

This was after a nice ride to Yarra Glen and back this morning! LOL!

I best keep a closer eye on it from now on! I wonder if the misting will be less in the colder months.

The Sargent seat is comfy but there are just some things about it that annoy me like
The gap between the tail light and the seat
when seen from above the light has a rectangular profile and the seat is round. it looks a little silly
and I by the looks of it the rear cowl is warped from being bolted to it



So I went and bought an original seat that sits perfectly.


I'll keep the sargent when I need it for long rides.

Battery struggled to start the bike on Saturday after the bike had been sitting for a couple of weeks.  Was fine after a run but thought it best to put a fresh one in as that one has been in the bike for the last 7 years (and 105 000kms)!
