fair point - reality is i'm a wuss - no screen is great in the summer - in the rain i'd like a full screen and i'll live with the noise!!!

Uprated clock lighting

After a bit of trial and error it certainly made it brighter, though still not as bright as I'd like.
Just a case of swapping the bulbs really dude. I tried LED's (a couple of different types and flavours) but they were too directional (even the multi-directional type) so I just went for a slightly higher wattage of the original bulb.

But it did mean I had a couple of cool multi-directional LEDs leftover, one of which is now my pilot light. Gave t'other one to Chad, so I guess MacP is sporting that little bad boy now!

Maybe I just need to upgrade to a set of Touratech Xenon Eyes instead

In order of priority:

1. Top box.
2. Lowered forks and lowered rear pre-load - bike easier to manoeuvre and it's free!
3. Heated grips.
4. Cut down screen for summer.
5. Standard screen but with edging trim removed - makes only a tiny improvement but also free!
6. Sat Nav mount/power.
7. Power socket.

Planned:

1. Panniers.
2. Engine bars.
3. Maybe a proper bash plate.

That comes to ten! I'm torn between adding stuff that improves usefulness and trying not to make the damn thing too heavy.

[EDIT]Oh, forgot. Centre stand and short stem rear indicators. (The originals poke out way too far.) That makes... umm... 12 sorry. [/EDIT]
