    Closer to stock if anything :)
    Have Givi case brackets, just need a top plate (€45) and oddly the brackets rely on the stock grab handle to secure on to, have that on order from eBay €34 delivered

    Not happy with the moisture distribution of the tail tidy so I'm looking out for stock rear undertray and fender and should be able to make a profit selling the trick looking Ermax bits.

    Probably get rid of the shyte aftermarket LED indicators, maybe add some LED spots, a power socket, voltmeter maybe? Gear indicator is pretty much redundant on a bike like this, the gearbox is "select-a-rev" but it makes no difference really because you have shove available at any rev in any gear.

    (not sure whats up with flickr, but will not post hi res pics. So stuck with low res for now!)

    Finally got my new can, after much research and deliberation there was only that really stood out for build quality and sound... WINGS Exhaust.
    Tbh its far too loud for me without the baffle in, but just right with the small one.

    Overall I am very very happy with it, it was pricey but well worth the money and really suits the bike in the black with the carbon tip and heat shield and black bracket.

    Hot are they restricted like the tl range in the first couple gears? A timing retard eliminator lets the whole whallop loose:)

    Wonda, sweet can, they've a good rep wings. Did it make any diff in power?

    Claimed 8-10hp increase but the weight saving off 4kg is very good. I would not have the skills to see the bhp increase bike is scary enough when you open it up tbh. But I am glad of the weight saving especially after sticking on the crash bars...they are heavy!

    As an owner of some tall bikes the crash bars were always something i was happy i fitted as inevitably the ground wasnt where my foot thought it was a couple times.

    Thought I would put up a picture of my 1100cc Pan European
    Its a 2001 ABS model with 20,000 genuine miles on it and a full service history. :)

    If you told me that had 2000 miles up I'd believe you, looks new. Great machine.

    The saddle is indeed a Corbin one. It's incredibly comfy and has gel pads for added tushy cossetting. :)

    20,000 miles on a Pan is nothing.

    That Corbin is probably thinking "why does nobody love me" :pac:

    Picked this up earlier this week. After visiting my family earlier this year and borrowing a bike to go for a spin with my brother, I decided I would go back to a proper bike after my X-Max died. That time arrived a few weeks ago.

    Have to say, am loving it. Great for commuting, and nice to lean into the bends if I take it down the back roads. Doesn't have loads of power, but enough to put a smile on my face.

    Pretty much stock atm, but will add a few bits to it over the coming months.


    I think I was admiring this during the week (if parked in south dublin with other bikes in an underground). Have a fancy for one myself recently.

    "Straight up" answers one question lol.
    The other refers to your gold boingy bits.
