The OTR Wind Screen. First I installed it with the rubber border but didn't like it so I removed it.

Pivot Pegz, I am still no convinced for this modification, maybe is just a matter of time......

OTR brake pedal, being honest didn't like it.
It is shorter than the OEM and it is very difficult to operate.
Today I installed back the original.

The bike is becoming nicer. :):):)

Next week I have a two days trip with some friends, it will be the opportunity to real test the bike, until now I have just used it to go to work...

See You.

Always loved the XT in blue with these stickers.....

So....

I ordered them form eBay :):):):)

I couldn't wait until next week trip.

Yesterday I talked with a friend and we decided to do a half day trip today in the morning.

The bike behave really well, even with the stock tires.

The only problem was the driver.....Not to experienced..:(

Nothing really bad, only the right foot peg support was bent.

Fortunately I had installed the OTR clutch cover protection!!!

See You...

Do yourself a favour and fit a sump guard. My XTR has a B & B (made here in Aus) fitted. Ditch the Tourances. They're rubbish IMHO.

Well.

Finally we did the weekend trip with my friend.

It was a really tough trip but fortunately nobody had any drop or accident.

The XTR behaved really well. My only problem were the tires.

I installed TKC80 two days before but the motorcycle started with a very pronounced movement on the steering. I know that knob tires make these kind of thing but in this case it was much more pronounced !!!! it was a big wobble.

Because of this I decided to install Pirelli MT60 on both wheels, not the perfect solution but good enough.

The problem is not solved yet. I am still trying to find the reason, maybe a not too tight steering bolts or too soft front suspension....

Here You have some photos....

As You can see in the pictures, I installed a new sump guard, engine protection bars and other accessories....
see You soon....

Nice pics, good mods.

mt-60's on my XTX, great on road, good on gravel and hard pack, as useless as anything else come mud.

Pivot pegs, he's my neighbour : ), I guess less boot scrub, comfortable standing up, much better than OEM.

the bike looks grate and nice mods :)
i always thought the OTR luggage rack looked too small but now seeing your pictures it looks ok think there site pics dont do it justice. think imight just get one :)
