I'll be interested to hear how you get on with the inverted rear spindle...........I read in one of mustang's posts that he fitted a Touratech 955i tiger rear chainguard....looks good. The trident wheels actually look very good..............Have you told your insurance company about the changes, and what did they say?.............Hopefully I'll get mine finished when I get back from my holiday.........can't wait!!

Hey Rob, good time on hols?

I prefer the look of the 6 spokes to the 3 spokes, bugger to clean though!

Haven`t ridden it yet with the rear lowered, been pissing with rain all day plus i`m waiting for the tax disc to arrive.

Insurance company told about the wheels, no difference to price for it.

I`m making a temporary inch high spacer for the rear chainguard bolt, but will look into the Touratech mudguard, but i think Mustang fitted that to his bike, not his wifes lowered one?

The front end has improved since i shortened the top spacers, but i want to ride a few more miles before i decide if it`s too hard, did around 30 miles on it back from MOT, felt ok.

Need to sort the mirrors too, can`t see much behind, just my arms/elbows.

And now the rear is lowered, its a lot harder getting it up on the centrestand.

it works on a lowered tigger too !
the front mount shares the bolt with the chain strip rather than the seperate bolt in the swingarm for a steamer plastic chain guard

I finally got to get out and ride this afternoon, lowering the rear has somehow stopped the bike wallowing, front end feels fine.
Think thats it for this year, just going to be putting a few more miles on her over the summer.
Still got the other project Steamer to work on, i`ll keep ya posted  :lol:

[rf9rider]

Been a while since i posted in this one, been out for a last ride today before i put it up for sale, still runs and rides good, couple of little jobs to do, got to replace the rear light and replace the front mudguard.

Will be sorry to see this one go

I used to have around 5 bikes a couple of years ago, wife complained i never spent anytime indoors, so i`ve had to downsize a little.

Just the one Steamer will be enought to keep me busy, aleays got an idea or two to keep me busy.  :)

Last job done on this one, before it goes up for sale  

I finally got round to finishing the front mudguard, couldn`t find a decent match for the caspian blue, so did it in black.

Rubbed down and cut out a vent, something different  :lol:



A few coats of primer



Sprayed and fitted
