I think the weight difference between a GS and this AT is getting smaller as the thread grows. Now are you really sure you have every eventually covered ?
I thought I was bad carrying too much "gear" but you sir make my efforts seem trivial.
On the plus side the bike looks rather good. Much to nice to scratch or get dirty.
Cheers.
Well, with my current inventory, I should be able to....
- Jack bike up onto a secure mount.
- Remove front Calipers, axle and front wheel.
- Remove Valve Stem, remove front tyre and tube.
- Repair or replace tube and refit everything.
- Remove rear caliper, axle and rear wheel.
- Remove Valve Stem, remove rear tyre and tube.
- Repair tube or temporarily fit spare front tube (to limp me home).
- Remove and refit new rear brake lever if necessary.
- Attempt temporary repair of bodywork if crashed.
Bike Protection
So to help minimise crash damage I've fitted
- Barkbuster hand guards so they should keep things in check. No Clutch Lever to worry about (parking brake lever is not essential).
- Full length Skid plate to keep underside protected
- Full crash bar system to protect engine casing and lower fairings
So it'll give it a fair chance.
When I get around to it I'll upgrade the radiator covers (as Honda ones are rubbish), headlight guards and maybe rear luggage racks to protect the rear (if it hasn't been trashed already by that time).
