what have you done to your "bike" today
Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Added a disc lock carrier to the frame where the pillion peg hangers usually go, and put an R&G rear spindle protector/bobbins on. Ordered a speedo relocation bracket as its too low and you to look down to see it, taking your eyes off the road which is a crazy design from the factory.
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Rode it to work, only advantage of being a key worker

Bought a 1M length of plastic push-fit plumbing pipe, 40mm - cut two 7" sections and then cut down one side length-wise and snap-fitted them over the shiny stanchion tops to complete the blacked out look:

The sun was out and I had an hour to spare - I rode like I'd stole it!! 
Insufferable halfwit.

gave the blue one a good going over to cure a wee fluff in the carbs, running great now and also found a nice set of 3d printed intake stacks and bmc filter in the airbox.
, and ti bolts all over the bike which is a bonus

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
The XSR has a stupid speedo position, in front of the igntion key and meaning you have to look down to see it. I put a bracket on which relocates it behind the ignition, and much further forward to it is in line of sight. Also had to relocate my Quadlock phone mount as it was on the original bracket off the riser mounts, so that moved across to the m/c handlebar bracket:

During lockdown I’ve been amusing myself by making my little Grandson Jack a balance bike along the lines of my 1969 Triumph. Almost there, just the seat cover to make.


Even captured some bins for Mac. And there’s no oil underneath it!!!!!!

Made an LED day riding light to replace the measly 5w bulb above the headlight.
Ordered some "Ultra Bright" 5mm LEDS and rummaged through my electronics bins for the other bits.
I managed to squeeze 21 of these little Supernovae onto the board and fitted it in the original lamp housing.
Rather pleased with my efforts
