Wink

I know, this is not the best picture, but is the only I have from the first day.



Here You can see it loaded with some of my Wolfman Luggage.



While I wait for some parts to arribe to My country ( Chile is at the end of the world...) I installed old Acerbis hand guards and a new real leather seat cover.




Happy new year to all of You.

Thank You!!!!

Finally on december 31st I received two boxes!!!

Still more to come....

Here are the pictures...


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




OTR clutch protection



OTR Rear rack




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.



OTR Side Stand Extension



And the Burkbusters....





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.

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..







Now she has her first scars....









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.
