Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
What's going on with the rear light. Is it just the angle or have you fitted a new clear lens?
The Tank protector looks different too. Kinda like your belly hasn't been pressing it into the tank as much. Is it new?

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Rear light is the same so is the tank pad... Slightly differnt angle of the dangle... Re the belly it's more likley to be a lot closer these days...#lockdownweightgainfatbastid

Removed stickers from front fairing and belly... changed indicators to new shape (amber rear/clear front) Changed the bar ends.MacV2 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 2:58 pm Over the last few days I have been giving Red 633 some attention...
So heres a little spot the difference quiz to keep you ocupied in lock down...
Before...
After...
Frank has kindly donated a small prize as he puts it...'' For the most analy attentive nobheed out there...'' with the most correct answers...
Removed stickers from rear fairing and seat cowl and fitted v2 sticker to rear fairing... but then I gota thinking... firstly what a lovely gap you have between the cowl and fairing in the second pic.. and although it's hard to tell it kinda looks like an original v2 sticker so I might hazard a guess that you have changed that rear fairing.. and maybe the cowl as well, either that or going by the photos it at the least looks like you have added the rubber edging to the front of the cowl.

5 out of 9.
OK as I'm a pedantic so & so, I'm calling time on this & declaring Shaun of the Dud the winner...
Mainly as he has most of the changes you can see...

Full list is...
Obvious one are...
Removed the stickers. (never a fan TBH but the two brothers ones were badly faded & looked pants...)
Late style indis all round with clear lens on the fronts.
The bar ends changed but so have the cheap gash grips, used std ones that were in stock. ( difficult to see I know...)
Yes the tail fairing has been changed, so has origonal V2 stickers on, the seat hump is the same but with the old V2 sticker removed & a rubber strip added.
So thats the 5 he got minus the grips...

The less visable...Ok invisible

The front tank mount bolts were no std & the top hats were in from the top...So top hats put in correctly replacment std washers on the top & SS allen bolts used.
I'd previously mentiod back in the oil change thread that when I took the fairing off the sidelight wiring had been bodged, so rectified that & fitted a different side light unit with an LED bulb in it. Something I'd made up yonks ago, I'm talkin' Ole Red here, but never fitted as it required the std plug to be cut off & I didn't want to do that...This one already is missing the plug.
The mirrors have been changed. It was wearing a set of the aftermarket std copies, you know the ones that if you move them to adjust they go loose & fold in when you get above 50...

Alan mentioned the rear brake lever...Well its not been changed. When I was feking about with the rear light, the rear brake wasn't activating the brake light. It has a pressure switch on it & I was gonna chase the wire try testing it ect... Then I noticed that the nut was missing on the back of the lever...

So theres the 9 changes... I didnt include the replacment inner fairing scoops that were missing...
So congrats Shaun you have incoming PM Sir...
We can all get back to lockdown boredom now...
