Sander & Marianne
Today Sander finished the modifications he started working on last sunday.
First the footpeg mounting plate has been replaced by another one, as the pivot peg was facing forward in a funny angle. Now the footpegs on both sides have similar angles.
Next Sander finished mounting the Renthal handlebars. The handlebars had already been installed last sunday. But the throttle control needed some attention, as it wasn't running smooth. Turned out Sander bolted the housing too tight.
As that issue had been resolved, it was time to install the Daytona heated grips and Acerbis Rally Pro handguards. Installing handguards is always a fiddly job and case of trial and error. The heated grips only required some cutting of the rubber ends. Though they still need to be connected.
Finally Sander installed a SW-Motech topcase rack, he ordered on the internet. According to specifications this rack is only suitable for the XL650, Africa Twin and Varadero. But Sander discovered the racks for the Africa Twin and the XL600 from African Queens are the same. And because we still have a SW-Motech topcase laying around, Sander decided to give it a try. And it turns out the rack fits. However it only has 4 bolt holes instead of 6 and they require larger (M8) bolts.
Here's the pictures last sunday and today:
