If your post refers to the Black Kawasaki.
Yes, that is a 2009 GTR 1400

Bikes 2&3 needed MoT in January so both bikes SORN'd.
Started both up yesterday, checked them over ready for MoT and pushed them up and down the garage making a "brum brum" sound :roll: .
Now waiting for a nice day to legitimately ride to the MoT station ........... twice :twisted: .

Yesterday I made some pannier inner bags for my T700 - grab and go luggage for overnight stops.
I've recently been given some canvas / linen / calico type material and I bought some webbing so after much measuring and planning I got busy. I went with just a roll top closure for ease and flexibility hence the two straps across the top, also the rings on the ends can be used with a shoulder strap - once I make one :-).

They're obviously not even remotely waterproof but the panniers are so it should be ok.

That's brilliant :)
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Fitted a rack to the Serow 225.

After seeing the ridiculous prices people were asking for rusty, bent racks I decided I may as well spend my hard earned cash on something decent!!

Moose Racing Expedition rack.....

I'm going to have to look that up now!!

Edit: I now get your reference. Unfortunately, the only time I get that low is when I've come off. I could put it on the other side and really confuse people.
