 Damn this bike is looking good!

July 2015 update...

Here we have the ST looking adventure ready with the aluminium panniers and top box from ARDcases in Ramsey (Cambridgeshire), including the really neat aluminium fuel tanks which sit on top of the engine bars for better weight distribution that Roger also custom made for me. 


 

The sump has been changed to allow me to fit a new sump guard as per G/S design, so that will give peace of mind in the rough stuff. I also have a single seat and extra rack fitted as per original R80 G/S, however this has slightly raised the seat height which is not ideal for my 27" inseam but heh ho, I will get used to it. 

Nice new Wolfman tank bag for quick access to my camera and new OEM hand guards complete with smiley face stickers as well. The left side panel has been changed (which I sprayed myself) to one from a G/S as I no longer have the original silencer cover as per original ST exhaust. 

The impressive looking new Heidenau K60 tyres should hopefully put me on the right footing to tackle the Dalton highway too.
