Got my hands on some exceedingly inexpensive High levels a little while ago. Came without fitting brackets but sent a homing pigeon to Fabios last night with some technical drawings (Da Vinci would be proud) and back came some plates. Fitted today and quite chuffed. Had to pull the indicators off so on the hunt for an integrated rear unit for ease.

Were we meant to be spotting the changes between the two lower photos? I got to about 6...

Just about not too long. Not quite wheelbarrows.
I like!

Thanks folks

Yea thought the best way to assess the change was a photo in the same place. Didnt realise so much of the street furniture would be the same. Might do it every time a change is made.

Next step, top yoke conversion

i'll be fitting my high levels at some point but right now i'm in the process of fitting yeti's single seat. just trial fitted it and i think it looks good. although its not necessary, i'm thinking about relocating the electrics under the seat hump. this would include the reg/rec and indicator relay so would need a plate welded in, also the starter solenoid from the left side. does anyone foresee any problems with doing that? i would need longer battery leads made up but the loom is fine.

I like your theory on washing Tony... I mean they are always banging on about saving water...

I'm thinking if I leave it a few more weeks I can get some spuds planted, then a few weeks later I can go to work knowing I'll be able to have baked spuds for lunch... :lol:

What?
SAVING water?
I must have mis-heard.
I thought you could only wash your bike with your SHAVING water- and I've had a beard for years...

I'll have to consider buying a sponge.

Fitted a new Motobatt battery, on the XSR700, love these. My 2018 model XSR needed its first MOT next month so now its all clean of salt and all the commuting gear is moved off it, I took it in today. Bit worried re the number plate (small but apparently legal) and the loud to my ears Black Widow but it sailed through, no advisories so all good for another 12 months. :thumbup:
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
