The last one for today!

That is just the finishing touch to an old style "roll your own" tourer.The kind you did before the factories made them.

[pete]

Nicely done Andre! Definitely look like you just rolled it out of the shop after getting them fitted...

[Matchless]

Thanks Pete!
I need to get those final struts finished and then do a good road test. The rear crash bars are also going back on and some LED's in the topbox connected to the brake light.
I was so pleased with myself I surprised my wife by oiling our garden furniture!

Hahaha good stuff! Bet your wife was happy with that

Sounds like it's going to end up a real head turner (mind you it is already) and a real nice tourer...

Andre, you're all set for A Tour Of Africa!

Oh no! I have not done any security yet. You know, chains, alarms, immobilizer, brake locks, GPS tracker etc...!

[Leigh]

Oh no! I have not done any security yet. You know, chains, alarms, immobilizer, brake locks, GPS tracker etc...!

..flame throwers, mini-guns, RPGs

...you both forgot "Star Trek" style force field!

Looking very good, Andre! I like the fact that you set them slightly lower than I think they might be stock ... keeps the center of gravity lower!

Now you just need to fab up some protective bars (like the 1100GK's have) to protect the bags if the bike ever leans over too far. wouldn't want to scuff up that beautiful paint!

Thanks Steve. The brackets have been completed, powder coated in satin black and the luggage is back on again!
I took her for a ride today, but forgot to take a some pictures. I also need to put a some protection under the box over the exhaust. It does not get overly hot but did show on my hand when feeling there.

I used to have a sticker on the tail piece of Jennifer that said;

"F%*ck satellite tracking, this bike is protected by the meanest bunch of badass bikers you would ever wish to meet"

Left her outside a club in dodgy downtown one night until the wee hours of the morning with the keys in the ignition by mistake...she was still there when I left to go home, with the keys still in the ignition.

[Etcheberri]

wow awesome work!
very interesting, thanks for sharing your knowledge on ABS and all.

This may be the way to go next time I do a project!
Ural with every extra:

[pete]

Good to hear you've got the brackets done Andre, but how can we possibly believe you if there are no pic's of said finished brackets hey?

And I really could've used that Ural yesterday... bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway and no one wanted to let me exit
