Nothing actually fitted lately, but I've just bought a pair of R and G clutch and alternator covers for the 2 oh no for £75 delivered. Perfect condition with the correct fitting bolts, less than half price.
I have a couple of carbon bits to fit, and for the first time ever, a helicoil insert as I managed to strip an m6 fairing bolt thread in the frame.
Never needed a helicoil before, let's see what all the fuss is about...
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

These long bars of which you speak; Wetherspoons?

Take it to a tyre fitters- their impact guns shift anything.

I had never used heated grips until I tried them on the Multistrada, got to say I’m a fan of them now

Took out the long stack and fitted a short to make two shorts, removed the screw that somewhere in its life caused one of its previous owners to cut the corner off the air box lid (not sure why as with a decent screwdriver it came out fairly easily), checked the air filter, and got a shock spacer coming from a friend to speed up the lazy handling! Still getting used to having the replacement tyres on it, especially the 190 60 at the rear. Happy with the handing with the new fork oil and a tad extra preload. Shock spacer should finish it off.
