Can't see one that has been started so here yer go.
Links to sites that specialise, upgrades even if DIY. Deals (of which there seem to be a few at the moment.




NB ..Really like this bike and as I stand (well just about) massive off road expeditions won't be happening for me any time soon as I seem to be growing as mechanical as the damn bike.
So please convince me :laugh:

Ok. I am having problems posting for some reason so going to try doing one photo at a time to see if it works!!

So have now managed to fit a few farkles to the WK.

First of all I spray painted the clear screen as I prefer it black to 'hide' the sat nav sitting behind.

Ordered a pair of hand guards (£30) off ebay and fitted a set of the Barkbusters led strip lights that I took off the KTM. I wasn't sure when I ordered the guards if the led's would fit the shape of a non Barkbusters guard but I am pleased with the result as it all fitted really well. I just had to drill a hole for the wiring and then because the led's are specific to the Barkbusters I couldn't mount them with the rear bracket as it wouldn't fit these guards. So I carefully lined them up and cable tied them into position, and left a small gap so I could pour in some Q-Bond powder and glue them on. Also used a little bit of black RTV silicone on the rear to hold the wiring in place.

Also fitted a set of the Oxford Touring grips. These are a perfect diameter and length for the WK bars. In fact they are such a good fit that I didn't need to use the glue. I have used them at the weekend and there was no slippage so hopefully I won't need to take them back off to glue them. Also means as a tight Scotsman I can take it all back off when I sell the bike





In the above picture you can also see a new foam bar pad as the original is kind of an off white/creamy colour and looked a bit shit.

Try that one more time........

[mac10biker]

One of the features I really like on this bike is the fact that they fitted a small bar above the clocks for attaching GPS or other devices. On the bar I have a TomTom rider and also a 12V/USB power socket.

The TomTom and 12V/USB are wired to this switch on the handlebar brace which means the TomTom is not coming on every time I turn the ignition, and there is no chance of the 12V/USB socket draining the battery.

Also have the luggage sorted out but will stick that on another thread as not sure if that would be a farkle? B)

Check your rear brake light switch wiring is not touching the exhaust as it could burn through, this is hidden behind the righthand side panel
