I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
Tell me more about these "rideouts", what do they entail?
As long as there's no steep, river, muddy or gorsey bits.
I've heard of what you do to noobs.
Screen before...

And after 140mm has been chopped off...
It's running a bit hot but I think the fork gaiters have something to do with that.
Will cut them off and if I put some on later, they'll be neoprene sleeves.
Fork gaiters gone, GPS mounted...
And the speedo is reading 111kph at 100 on the GPS.
Must be the normal speedo error compounded by a smaller diameter rear tyre.
The fan kicks in at 103° and cuts out at 100°
That was happening a lot...
Now in 30° outside temps, I can go over the port hills at 40kph and it'll sit at 85° and on the highway at 75°.
Fork gaiters...
Before, on the open road, it'd be sitting on 95° and higher.
The screen is however still crap
May try flattening the curve up top to even out the wind flow.
Mine cruises at about 70 C, and on hot days the fan starts up at about 103 if i get caught in traffic, or park up to open the farm gates. The TransAlp 700 does seem to run warm.
Haven't checked the speedo yet but that might explain being tailgated by a monster logging truck about 2m from my number plate at an indicated 80 kmh near Napier airport. Maybe not.

Nice. I think. Maybe. They look a bit funny...
Wanna sell that FCR?

Ahh, it's been too long...
After a year spent compressorless, I've upgraded from a broken 40L, 2.5hp, noise maker of a beast to this little 24L, 1hp, 50L/m, quiet wee beastie.
