Hi

I want to post a few pics of my 620ie Dark SD bought
one year ago from Squiffy

Here's the ad:

I can't express how happy I am right now, just got back from the
first ride, the quality of the pictures is below average.

This is how it looks like right now, including a few low-budget mods like:
Lowered Headlight
Anodized forks
Modified Tea-Tray
Clip Ons
Modified Top Yoke
No visible Cable-Ties
Custom Paintjob
Taper roller bearings
Twin disc conversion
Many blacked out parts
Heated grips

etc.

Modding will proceed during winter

Looks great - nice work

Why (other than why not) did you lower the headlight?

Mainly for aesthetical reasons.

On one hand I prefer the look of the headlight being in line with the frame,
on the other it's inevitable if you want to place the intrument cluster below
the triple clamp.

Nice work Kaz the old girl looks loverly. Glad you are at last finished and can get out there and ride her. Be careful this time

Thanks

I will be more careful, but the crash was somehow unavoidable,
at least without x-ray vision.

Seriously, I am now alerted to people jumping red lights.

The lowered headlight mod is quite popular on another forum:

I tried it occasionally, because the U-bracket was deformed anyway and the front
has been disassembled.
The total expense has been some kind of "stone guard" matt black paint,
welding carried out by a friend.
