WWWWW TTTTTT FFFFFFFF!!!!!! Nick???????

No seriously - even bubs has a tear in his /her eye from your photo.

Understand eh. Only a temporary pause to riding in the grand scheme of things for other priorities. You've sure taken care of it.

Frikken awesome!!! Just saw the pic with pack rack right there (must have button eyes or something to have missed it before!. I'm sold.

To fit the ventura pack rack with CRM mufflers fitted can be done, but takes a royal amount of FARKLING to get it installed.

I had to buy extra long bolts and use a double nut system as a sort of angle adjuster to fine tune the position of the l-brackets to make the rack fit and keep it square.

In the end it works well, is solid and hasn't worked loose on me.

Hi Dave,

I had a look at Al's awesome ride in Palmy a wee while ago and he advised me to talk to Bob about the Oxy sensor as he had a bit of mare getting it to fit into the port in his CRM exhaust. Funnily enough the US models seem to have a larger port.

I have been speaking with Bob about the sensor but I am a little confused. Bob said he can make an adapter but asked about the thread size saying that the US were 22mm and Aus/ NZ often 18mm. Of course when I checked the thread but its way smaller than that, while the nut is 17mm. Al said you seemed to jag it as your bike seemed rather unique but can I ask did you speak with Bob about this?

G'day Stefan, you might be alright.

What year is your bike? Have a close look at the O2 pickup. Mine is in the header - so bob just sent me a midpipe without any O2 pickup and she was just a plug and play business.

If you have an older triple - check if the O2 is in the midpipe. I don't know if the factory midpipe work with the CRM dual highmounts (I recall Bob saying you need to buy his midpipe for it all to work).

If your bike is a keeper - I think it is worth it. My mate has a 800 tiger with the arrow and my bike just drowns his out completely :-) I just love it with a farkle does that.

Now you just need a Bursig stand Dave.

That's bloody excellent Al! Where did you pick up one of those? (excuse the pun).

On another unnecessary Speed triple farklement, does anyone know of a suitable quick shifter?

From Bursig in Germany. Not cheap though!

Thanks Al - hey what do you do for Tracy's bonnie?

I was looking at a temporary centre stand (sold out of aus):

Yeah, I suppose (shipping would be a killer), although it's the best I've seen.

Tracy's Bonne is fitted with a Triumph center stand.

Wow - you guys are going to get me in trouble with the wife. All these ideas for farkling are not going to be cheap!
My bike is 2009 model but the sensor is in the mid-pipe. Bob also pointed out that for some reason the Aus / NZ bikes seemed to get the older exhausts, which also had a sensor in the mid pipe. I've sent Bob a photo and he seems to think it is not too much of a drama, just have the get the thread size right. On one of the photos he sent me I can see the sensor in the mid-pipe - same position as mine so it is not unique, seems simple enough.

I need the mid pipe anyway because it looks so good I am going to get one! My 1050 is a keeper alright although when I can afford it I might get a Ducati 1199 Panigale or perhaps a Confederate Hell Cat or Fighter. I'll decide when I strike oil in the back yard.

Thanks for the pointers - I'm going to have a quick chat with the lads at Street and Sport in town then order away and rely on the force that it will all work. The better I get on that 1050, the more I want to hear the engine really roar. I'll post a photo when its all done.
