Ok , time for another AT thread just to please Engineer !!!

How about you guys who have taken delivery post up any useful info and detail any mods you make. But let's keep it useful , unlike the toilet section where they have 20 page threads on using headlights at night etc ....

I'll start with pics stolen from the other small thread

It's very useful as it shows two types of AT owners....

Ones a picture of a chap that represents many of the new owners, those who did not require a self indulgent thread about their journey to owning an AT, those that intend to get on and do, those who will post the od usefull update....

I think these are useful. We can see that the Honda panniers look shite.

I am of to theatre in London followed by dinner in a few minutes, so you won't get the benefit of my wisdom until at least midnight

More than

. Dreadful considering the rest of the bike bar foot pegs and rear brake lever looks pretty good in the flesh. I will test ride one but those panniers really do look like an old dewalt drill box. They even have the same clasps. :blast

Great bike bike though overall may you all have many happy miles :clap

OK I'll add in a bit here......

I had the tyres swapped out at the dealers to ones that I also run on my current RD07A - TKC80 front / Mefo MFE99 rear - as I feel very confident on them, and after Conti changed the recipe for the TKC80, I couldn't make a rear last a trip down to the Alps & back safely.

The RNS Tripmeter (you can download the manual HERE) and Ltd Edition Book should be with your dealer by March at the latest. Make sure you confirm you are one of the first 300 and chase them for it

It would seem that none of the 'big name' aftermarket manufacturers will have any product physically available until the end of February at the earliest.

Current replacement silencers are offered from Termignoni, Remus, Arrow, and BOS
The two manufacturers who currently have replacement (non CAT) headers in development are Termignoni and Arrow. Remus / Akrapovic have not released any news if they are going to be doing these.
Powerbronze, MRA and Givi have said they will be developing replacement screens, but no indication of timeline
SW Motech, Touratech, Hepco&Becker, Givi, and Holan are offering hard luggage options
Titax are offering their complete range of levers, once the new CRF1000 adapter is available from the end of February
Puig are offering their Enduro pegs, but no date given on when the specific CRF1000 adapters will be available (these would be a good upgrade for the pillion pegs)
Rizoma will be offering rider pegs as a branded product through the Honda dealers only.
PivotPegz - I haven't been able to get any info from them..............YET!!
Acerbis are apparently developing a branded Honda range (only available through your dealer) - handguards, Plastic Bashplate, Frameguards
Scottoiler are offering a CRF1000 specific kit - available from mid February.

My bike is going into the factory next week for an exhaustive CAD session - we're concentrating on a Bashplate, Radiator and Oil Cooler Guards, Rear Carrier, and a few other items first, then onto Crashbars :thumb2

Just a small piece of useless (sorry useful ) information

Those of you with an i.phone can go to the App Store and download the new Africa Twin App, quite good too ,

Shouldn't all bikes now come with an App?

steophilis · Jan 31, 2016

I would,except it's virtually a thing of the past now as all upgrades have to be accounted for via the chief hosties ipad and so we are really only able to do such stuff for staff passengers these days.

Actually I think they are fine !! Had a good look at them when I was offered a set for under £300 and they are like varios that are fixed-very tough plastic but also very light and they won't leak as they are sold by Honda !
