Back Home

[schua2007]

So, the bike is back following low siding at Brands a month ago. Thankfully the finger has sufficient movement and strength after breaking it to enable me to ride again.

If honest, I can't believe how much I've missed not having the bike. Even seeing an empty garage felt wrong, so I treated the bike to some upgrades as well and happiness at home is restored.

Just need the weather to improve now.......

Can't tell it was dropped. What are the upgrades?

Hi Alex,

I've replaced the standard exhaust with the BMW slip on Akra. Also gone for the M rearsets as both exhaust/right footrest damaged from low side. Also tank grips added following advice from the site.

A few other replacements which were already added previous - M Sport axle protectors/Gilles crash protection.

Had to also replace windscreen (BMW High), right bar and lever protector, both mirrors, right brake lever,master cylinder, right side lower fairing and pillion cover - the bike rotated on the nose at the end of the slide - oh well!

A nice bill to remind me of the value in not low siding [emoji846]

I'm interested to know what the BMW akra sounds like. I like that it uses the standard exhaust mounting point

Hi Fraggle,

Next time I ride, I'll record start up and apply revs. From what I've noticed so far not a dramatic change from standard as just the slip on. Looks nice though
