Thanks Simon. It's on the left, gear lever side, directly in front of the airbox.
Iv'e found a few loose screws here and there.

I don't think you've got anything missing! My Z has got the same two empty threaded holes and AFAIK so does the R and X. No idea what they're for though...

Thanks Pleiades :icon_smile:

Thanks Keith.

Here's a pic of the Kreiga U5 Tank bag and cover.
Also of the little handguard LED indicators.
And rear rack.. yep more indicators under there : )
(brake light LED to come- no excuse for not seeing me this time..)

+ Added Kev's spacers and Puig screen

I'll try my luck and ask if anyone can help with these OTR mirrors.
Long way to send back, I like them but the glass is slightly loose and viabrates annoyingly. No screws at all.. how do you get into them?, maybe I can add some silcon or something inside?

I'm guessing here, not seen those mirrors in the flesh, but you'd assume the glass was fitted and then they were glued/bonded together? You could try levering them apart but that might well end in disaster! ;)

Your silicone idea may be a good bet? You could try drilling two discrete holes in the back: one to get the silicone in and one to let the air out. If you use black silicone, then the holes can be plugged with it and you won't know they are there.

Added bonus of filling the backs is you'll have added some extra weight which may cut down mirror vibration?

Good thinking. The mirror could be glued to a 'grid' of plastic inside the mirror head but at least silicone through a hole will fill a section.

Did a 200 k loop to Cradle Mt from the coast today (for anyone who knows, this must be one of the nicest road/loop rides in our country).

In all honesty, i'm still not there yet wih this bike. Iv'e not ridden a road bike more than a few K's but grew up with enduro and dirt bikes and on road. This thing far and away handles much sharper than I ever remember from the XT600 on road, through corners. With the mods its got enough power and the low end in spades.. still some fuel related surge though and it never feels comfortable in the gearing (for these hills). I have cush rubbers to fit.. Maybe a sprocket change..

The vibes were worse than OEM when I swapped to the fat bars, then the handguards gave less vibe than OEM.... so better but I never remember vibes being an issue like this.. torque wrench before next ride, some of the vibe seems to be coming from very low ie. foot vibes.. Could do with a set of offset risers too, even with 20mm up it's at a point between straight back and stooped (for me). I'm soundin like a whinger but this could otherwise be Perfect :smilies0347:

Ozz man! You have exceeded the Newbie Welcome with bike issues, please feel free to venture to the sub forum proper where you will find appropriate sections and there's plenty of them for every issue you might have.

The Newbie Reception Lounge is just for people to introduce themselves to the forum, once that is done, your stabilizer wheels are off and you will have to move on into the deep of the forum.

Good sport! :D
