Picked up a ABBA stand with front lift accessory as I’ve always wanted one .
So gave it a test and got the bike off the trolly and fitted the front wheel . Much easier than paddock stands whoop whoop

Removed the plastics to straighten the fins on the oil cooler and thought, why not new masters on both sides, braded lines, and a new clutch slave?

From an '09-'11 Monster 1100.
The stock axial masters limited the positioning of the bars. They look better, but the real reason was to improve the ergonomics a bit. Closer, but still not exactly where I want to be. What I need is for Tommaselli to offer the riser part of the clip-on with a bit more height. That would be perfect, I think.

Administration...

Sorn'd Nue Red & Hamburg...

Insured The Murvinator & took Hamburg off the policy.

Drained the fule out of Nue Red & drained the carbs.

Removed the heated glove wiring & the batt tender lead off Hamburg & fitted it to The Murvinator.

Swapped the huggers over Hamburg to The Murvinator & vice verser.

Wipped some dirt off...Packed up & put them away...

I need to come up with a new set of clip ons myself. I'm running the old Swatt clip ons and you can't mount a radial master on them the way the riser works. I'll probably get a set of Apex clip ons this winter :thumbup:
