Re: VTR Side Pannier Project.

(Posting this image and realized someone has fitted the indicator lens upside down
No they come like that so front and rear only need two of the same indicators.

Looks a sturdy well made job - How much full does the load capacity hold - are they planning on also carrying a pillion?

Re: New bike, no doubt a new project!

Im also curious if theres a tried and tested airbox mod (other than a K & N) to help the bike breath better? No - unless you have access to a dyno and rejetting - the VTR's airbox and filter is very sensitive to changes in that dept. and doesn't readily tune with plug&play mods like an IL4....
