Hmm, I don't think I did actually as the guy put their value at $15 on the package. I wasn't so lucky with the box from procycle!
The only downside to these was that the aux socket and tool tube Zen fitted for me had to be moved. I still owe you a photo of that too :blush:
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Well I could have sold you some racks but Phil got there first :laugh:

I just use an Altrider Hemisphere bag on mine, no need for racks then.

Here's your bike kitted up last year

Have wolfman racks just to keep magadans off, currently added adventure plates to expand the. Intact area and limit the flexing. Have tool tube fitted and can mount extra fuel or water inside opposite to the exhaust. Put it on same side as exhaust and things get exciting quick.

Here's testament to the effectiveness of metal putty and a 5 cent coin, still leak free but has to be replaced whilst the Donk has an engine overhaul !!

Great work Sarge, It's interesting to see the repair from the inside. I hope there weren't any fragments inside the casing? I spent a while fishing around as best I could and using my phone torch to make sure nothing was inside.
