Fitted some Barkbusters, fitted my new Xpannier rails from Outback Motortek. Tore down the front end ready to run wiring loom for spotlights. Found some rust under the tank. :o :? 9 weeks old and rusty, not a good sign. Tore off the tyres to convert the rims to tubeless. I just hope I can remember how to reassemble the front end. Lol.
If only I remembered how to add pictures

I finally got around to fitting my new Jesse luggage on my F650gs. It wasn’t easy as it seems the Akropovic slip on its fitted with must be bigger than the OE silencer. Made it a very tight fit. I’d post pics if I’d taken any yet.
