I had a local upholsterer rework the seat for me at a cost of $200.00. He did a great job and have done 320K (200mile) trip without getting a tender bum.

Just finished my last job on the bike with the panniers being fitted, photo attached. Mods completed: Carrier rack, Tail light re-positioned, Top box, Seat, Ding knobs, Rear stand knobs and stand, Light screen, Roo whistles, Pannier rack, Heated grips, Pannier quick disconnects and Pannier...

I managed to do some track work with mine since my last attempt at alignment and have found that the wobble that started at about 180Kph now starts at 225Kph and is not as severe as before. I have just rechecked my alignment and have made a 0.3mm change to the setting and will advise if this has...

Works for me I also had speed wobbles that started about 170Kph but now it's fixed. There is a design concern with the chain adjuster which is parallax error as the swing arm mark sits 10mm above the adjusting block. If your not square with the marks then you can end up with a substantial...

Seat Mod completed Local upholsterer has completed my seat and both the wife and I are very happy with the results. Both seat areas are much thicker and more level. I don't feel like I'm constantly sliding down onto the tank.

This bike will spend most of it's life two up with my wife on the back. I will be removing an amount of foam from the riders seat and adding 60mm of different foam's and stepping up the pillion seat height by 60mm. The seat will end up with a step in it and be wider at the back than the standard...

I have my bike booked into the upholsterer next Monday for a seat modification. I have attached a photo of a few of the possible vinyl coverings and will likely go with a two tone selection. What would you guys pick? No prizes being offered if I go your way. :-) feedback appreciatedThx

After fitting the rear rack i felt the tail light became to obstructed for other road users. I made up a bracket and extended the wiring loom 270mm and relocated the bracket under the back of the rack. Photo attached.

Simply because the left side of the bike is wider or has more overhang than the right side and therefore requires a wider knob.

Turned up and fitted some aluminium knobs to protect the radiator and water pump. Just need to take them off, polish them up and coat them in clear polyurethane.

It's there to stop the wife falling off the back and I expect it will be somewhat harder to keep the front wheel on the ground. The box is only on when the wife is ;-)

I had my Hyosung seat made over by a local upholsterer who stepped and blended the foam into a great shape all for just AU$150. To my surprise the wife is happy with the MT seat but I'm still thinking of taking it in for a makeover. Just looking at the gel options etc at the moment before I...
