    Yeah, the sidepanels are optional extras, as is the headlight fairing.
    I've taken both off and added a single (orange) seat.

    I am just jealous. On top of that the carb cleaner is getting to me. I am in the process of sorting he Bings, on the G/S. Hopefully, I'll be putting stuff back together next week, instead of just pulling it apart.

    tri boys adv bike purchasing guide.

    1. Get drunk.

    2. Approach adv bike you have purchased.

    3. Kick it from the left side, and watch it slam into the ground.

    4. Struggle to pick it up, and place on side stand.

    5. Inspect for damage.

    If there is nil damage, (scratches are not considered damage), then celebrate by drinking more booze.
    If there is damage, then you picked a prissey lil show pony.
    Idiot.

    (Triumph scramblers are exempt from the above guide).
