An abridged record of mods to my road-going toys, and other entirely unrelated things.

Blacker Than Black

I finally got around to installing a tinted screen on the bike, helping to black it out a bit further. I ended up with a “HotBodies” brand (never heard of them before), and I have to say I regret it, the fit was terrible.  I eventually wrangled it in there though and here are the results.

I think it’s actually too dark, it almost looks opaque.

Incidentally, while I was down in the garage I couldn’t help take a picture of the ol’ gal… she’s getting a bit lonely these days. Still off the road with an electrical fault, right after I upgraded suspension and brakes :(

Industrial Strength Gixxer

Here are some of the pics from the “photoshoot” at Warwick’s father’s workshop - Coplyn Engineering.  Unfortunately many of them were too blurry to be of use, but we’ll try again no doubt :)

Fibrous Carbon Thingy

This weekend Warwick cleaned up some of the scratches on my tank for me and we fit a Geelong Carbon Craft tank protector. The fit wasn’t perfect but it’s very close and despite my history of hatred towards carbon fibre accessories on cars, I actually quite like the look.

Making a cameo in these pictures is some random glove that somebody placed on my bike while I was at work.
