    What are you on your PC for get yourself out on the highway and test that Puppy

    Looks like a great job!

    Everyone is asking that for some reason?

    It rides very well.
    Wind-wise it's about the same as the Givi on the DR. Hits me about the top of the shoulders.

    I like it.

    I'll see if I can find the one on AdvRider (for a DR650) that inspired me...

    If you can find a green rubbish bin.

    Heat gun? Ruler?
    Ummm... You hold it up to a veranda beam, make sure it's about in line with where you want the fold and push hard.
    Once there's a bit of a crease there you can just squash the crap out of it.

    Also helps to bung it in the vice with some long right angled bits to start the creases but that would be cheating...

    A heat gun however would let it retain the colour along the creases.

    I'd be careful Jatz. you may just need something from the Emporium again soon...

    I'd be keen to have a ride on it to see what it's like. I don't usually ride other peoples bikes so it would be quite exciting.

    What to do with spare rubbish bin bits...

    Handguard extensions...

    Keep the cold/mud off. Especially as I'm going to get roosted at the cross country...

    One screen per front/back and a pair of hand guards per side.

    No more so than the Tenere front guard does.

    I'll find out today. The fairing is very stable however.

    Saw a cool dakar bike riding down Nile St today. Quite a smart screen on it. I felt compelled to roll up a piece of paper & lob it at it for some strange reason
