Sorry that happened...good to hear it wasn't worse.

Hope the truck had insurance so you don't need to ding yours.

Standard 3/8. I used the Russell 'Pro System' hoses.

It would be a bit of effort (depending), but if you were serious about getting your buckshot theme in that cover, your could have the backside relieved for the mesh

Haven't decided yet....

We've started a pool on whether you'll be back to a Sporty within a couple of years.

Still in Scotland for thr next 2 weeks, but my euro plate mount arrived so i csn put the tag bshind my roadster

Also found a set of xr1200x remote reservoir shocks here that will be waiting for me when i get home.

Also ordered some xr1200 handlebars over some beers at the pub today. I like the iron/48 bars on my roadster, but i wanted to try something wider.

That's all for now.

I added a 'stock' side mount plate holder, but Ive got a small issue. The bolt that secures the directional, isnt long enough to get through the strut, fender, And the plate mount. However, the front docking hardware one fits. so its on there, but theres no way to tighten the rear mounting point. The bolt is just about flush with the mounting point.
any ideas how I could remedy this? Since the turn signal bolt is special, im not sure there is a longer one available.
