I agree. This chin skirt is really annoying, allowing no ventilation so misting. I have removed the chin skirt for now, and see how I get on without it Not tried in rain yet.
Success and frustration in equal measure today. Pirelli R60 RS’s replaced with Dunlop Sportmax Road Smart IVs. Disappointed to be told the chap who has fitted my tyres for the last 6 years is off to pastures new. Best tyre fitter I’ve come across in many years and feel like I’m losing a friend. I want to beat the crap out of the Scrambler Icon designer, whoever it was, certainly wasn’t an engineer The faff to get the rear wheel out is just ridiculous but it’s done and the bike is back together. Heath Robinson mode in full swing and have fitted brackets under the pillion seat to securely fit the Kriega Drypack straps to. Managed to lose an M6, shouldered bolt that fell into the bike and didn’t make it to the floor and misplaced a 1/4” drive 4mm cap head socket. It’s been a long and sweaty day, time for a shower and a cold beer that’s been sitting in my fridge for a couple of days. Tomorrow is another day. Andy
Tried the Shoei Neotec 3 helmet without the chin skirt. Much better. Adequate ventilation now. I recommend removing it
Went for a bike ride. Does anyone else promise themselves they will be sensible but end up riding like a tw3t after 30 minutes? Or is it just me?
Took delivery of these new to me carbon wheels. Thanks again to @Bo01691 Never had them on any of my previous bikes so looking forward to finding out what the fuss is all about.
Self control for 30 minutes and then a bit of "making progress" overtaking something and there you go. Plus first time with reverse shift on the streetfighter so some of the shenanigans were definitely tw3tish.
I had them on a Monster S4 that I 'fighter'd and I reckon they're the best bang for buck mod you can do on a bike.
