Fitted my second-hand Touratech Bashplate and Pivot Pegs
The bashplate came with brackets but no bolts...grrr most of my bolts are fine thread..but after a good old rummage found the perfect sizes!!
With a bit more juggling, I should be able to get the bashplate sitting a little higher.....possibly.
The bashplate is certainly on the large side.....lol

weapon that TT bashplate:079:

dangerous in my hands!!! anything is......

Done some of the Lough Neagh cycle trail on Sunday, chased by dogs and almost wiped out by a 4x4 but great fun. Went to McCallens to see the new Tiger 800 in the metal, not sure about it.

PAid for and collected mine... the fun part comes over the next 3-5 days as the boxes of bits arrive.

Fit New Rear Tyre .THEN RAGGED THE ARSE OFF IT.

Today: fitted the Wilbers 641 rear shock
Tomorrow: fit the Wilbers progressive springs in front

Interested in your feed back on the rear shock.

I'll let you know how I get along as soon as I've had the chance to take the bike for a spin (probably not before next weekend though).

Was a pita to install, not because of the shock itself, that part was easy. But some seriously sadistic Yamaha engineer routed the Y-piece of the exhaust right next to the top bolt of the shock. There was no way I could get the bolt out far enough without getting the exhaust out of the way. Which means tank plastics, heat shields, my Givi top plate, passenger grips, number plate holder, exhaust cover and then the exhaust itself... Nothing too difficult, but a lot of work to get at one simple bolt. The hardest part -as usual- was refitting the rear wheel. Seriously, is anyone able to do it on there own? The spacers, the brake, the wheel and the axle. I always need an extra pair of hands to get it in without the spacers falling out again.:102:

Did you find the springs any different on the front end Kev ?
