First small mods being done on the bike. First made a pair of threaded alloy bars, which take the R&G bobbins and go into the wheel spindle. Its ID is 16mm, but its not 16mm all the way in.. it narrows slightly. So had to machine the bars narrower at the ends.
Next, since I'm not going to carry a pillion, removed the rear pillion pegs.. 0.8kg saved !
As expected, I didn't like the empty space it left, so will have to machine up suitable covers. I could make them match the stainless washer and caphead that's nearby on the exhaust mount. But they don't look to good to me, so will make something better for both, so they match.
