Hi Juky
If you upload a picture into the gallery now, it will create a post as well. I'll set up some more galleries shortly.
Just a shot of my work in progress
I am thinking of giving her a stable mate the new ThuxtonR or Ducati monster 1200R

Just crazy eh? all these fabulous bikes to choose from, out of those I reckon the Duc.
Mainly because they look really good with those panniers and if you are after something to travel a bit then, yeah.
Me with mine. Only bought it last week.
Always wanted one but were too expensive for this poor engineer. Recently took a pension out and this one turned up for sale in my town

Whoops, should have reduced piccy...

Congrats, looks very clean. Sato engine sliders are really good at protecting those vulnerable bits.
Installed an oil-pressure warning light in a homemade glareshield. Doesn't look too bad, I think
RD 400 hey I owed one of them many years ago great bike I used to whip some pretty big bikes ass with her. LOL going for nice ride this weekend only 250 ks away but we are going to turn it into 500ks.
To keep the forum going, I will post a picture of my bike with some of the parts I made with the 3D-printer, if anyone is interested.
You will notice that none of these parts are made with aestethics in mind, but rather function.
In the picture you can see a "Bug Shield" for the Tomtom, I didn't want it to be filled with dead bugs when I put it in my pocket or use it on the table. It works in both GPS orientations.
On the l/h side of the engine there is an airscoop to improve the rear cylinder cooling. I did it mostly as a test of what can be done and if it would hold up against the heat and vibrations. Which it did, however I do not use it now since it is in the way when looking at the dipstick oil temp meter.
On the clock, there is a glare shield whch also houses the oil pressure warning light. I think both are worthwhile.
Between the handlebar clamps is a small wedge-shaped holder for a KOSO meter, ambient temp, voltage and time.
On the right hand handlebar end is the holder for the Scottoiler display.
All those three parts are held on by 1mm double-sided adhesive tape, the Scottolier holder also by two straps.
Here's my MT01. Puts a smile on my face both looking at it and riding it. Its stable mate is a Cagiva V raptor
