I bought the bike asa a tatty but running and legal project a year ago to compliment my KTM790 Adventure and serve as my lightweight town and commuter/fun on the backroads tool - the KTM is for distance and touring. Since I bought it I have repainted just about everything back to standard and turned it into a really nice not quite standard but tasteful example. It came with a previously damaged /repaired half nose cone like the one I linked to, but the hook mouldings were missing and the fairing was held on with some awful home made bracketry that I removed. I made some simple right angle brackets with nutserts, very similar to the Ducati ones I've just bought off ebay and made a couple of flat strip brackets to act as additional support off the indicators I have fitted to the headlamp brackets. I don't have the old square indicators mounted off the top yoke, it did have cheap and nasty aftermarket LEDs when I got it, which I have swapped out for 2000 onwards oval ones mounted in holes previously drilled in the headlamp brackets. Just a shame whoever did the job didn't measure up and mount them in the same place from side to side on the headlamp brackets and now I have to source replacement brackets or make my own. I'll figure the rubber bobbins myself, I'm bound to have something suitable in one of my 'useful junk' boxes. This gives me something to keep me busy while I'm sat on my backside at home waiting for 6 broken ribs (most broken in multiple places) and a broken shoulder and punctured lung to repair after throwing the Ducati into a hedge 3 weeks ago. |
