Finished my winter project

Hello,

Finished the work on my new bike (some weeks ago) but got some pics recently taken.
Been out on it yesterday and today for the first time after my crash last year.
No fear at all, so that's nice already. It rides way better compared to my previous 800S and its an absolute dream in handling.

Still running it in, it will go to the dealer next weekend for its first 1000km service.
Been doing some cosmetic changes over the winter:
* headlight of an old monster fitted
* footrests powder coated in matt black
* pressure plate
* open clutch cover
* led indicators
* some minor parts in matt black

Will continue next winter,

Looking good Jan, always wondered how the old headlight would look on the new models!

Will it be making an appearence at the UK weekender this year?!

Looks very neat & tidy.
I'm glad you felt confident on being back on the bike, often that's the biggest problem when you have an unexpected off...

Love the headlight, what a difference it makes very cool. (no offence to anyone)

Also like the black footrests, very nice bike well done.

Well done mate. Glad your back riding. I do like the headlight but wont be doing the copycat thing just yet. I have other ideas for the future.

Getting a lot of white 1100s first Stefanie and now yourself.

Why do people leave mirror's off their bikes? Seriously, they a very important part of riding! Lol.

Otherwise looks smart pal.
