Was meant to be sorting my garage pre house move, bit ended up fitting an alloy tank to my 449. It is a work of art

Re: what have you done to your bike today??
Took my 990 adv to work today for a blast out as a temp at work who passed his CBT on Saturday said no one could catch or keep up with him on his keeway 125.i also gave him a jacket a neck warmer some chain cleaner and some chain lube my oh my are these kids thick. We had a standing start race and I don't think I got out of 1st before I lost him silly fool.good fun though

Thanks gents. I think it's meant to be about 26 litres, which should be enough for a good day out
I took the opportunity to change the rear shock spring at the same time to one from a g450x (stiffer) which should help with the additional load (though i could do with losing a few lbs myself!)

And whilst on the subject of tanks, fitted a 2nd hand TT one to my xch last week. Tried to do this one a little differently as my other one doesn't afford much protection to the air intake. This time i cut the front/top plastic cover to the approx profile of the tank so that it sits in front of it, still covering the air intake.
They are a somewhat bulbous design, and whilst they are primarily for added fuel range, they also afford good protection to the rad in the event of a sideways fall (that was an expensive lesson!

Re: what have you done to your bike today??
I haven't done anything as such, but the KTM has developed a horrendous top end knock. It sounds like the little end had gone. As i'm somewhat displaced at the mo (tools in storage, bike at girlfriends and i'm living elsewhere, all 3 locations are 60-90 mins apart), i'm having to throw it at the dealer to diagnose and give me a quote for the repair. Its one thing after another.
Current bike is a Yamaha T7
