Triboseat

I bought a Triboseat the other day.  First lesson - won't fit with the Suzuki Gel seat - only the factory seat.  Not too worried as I have both, so if I take my wife anywhere, she'll have the Triboseat under her.  Nicely made product and stops all of the passenger slide

GSG Moto Crash knobs

Here's the instal of my replacement GSG moto crash knob, which is made in Germany for the GSF1250 with the lower fairing.  (http://www.gsg-mototechnik.de/)  One side was trashed after my crash. but I guess the fact I am able to ride my bike again means it did its job.  A nice product and good service from them.

The knobs are joined by a thick pipe as well as frame mounted.

The crash knob has a push on cover that is replaceable

The plate was bent from the crash, but in bending, it absorbed impact forces that would have otherwise damaged the bike

Holeshot Fork Brace

Motorcycle News recently did an article on hotting up the the GSX1250FA (http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/146_1201_project_suzuki_gsx1250fa/viewall.html)

The parts to do it came from Dale Walker (www.holeshot.com) and I bought from him the fork brace that had been used on the test bike.  Easy to fit, just twist and lift the fork protectors, cut them up the back and remove, and fit the brace.

Much more planted and stable in the front end now.

LED mirrors

I like the LED look and after fitting an LED relay and LED indicators all round, decided to get some of the universal LED mirrors off EBay (Tuner X factory).  Only USD$35 and simple to fit.  I think I will modify them to fit the standard Suzuki base for an even better look.  The quality seems good and the visibility from the mirrors is comparable to stock

Some update shots

Replacement levers (yes again)

After breaking the brake lever in my crash, I bought some new ones off Ebay.  They look like Pazzos, but at $38 they are cost effective and very good quality.  My last set lasted a year with no wear, despite all weathers and have only been replaced due to the crash

Fitting an LED taillight

I got sick of a red taillight and clear indicators, so I fitted an integrated unit (e-marked).  It plugged straight into the standard socket, and a blue and yellow wire connected to the live feeds for the respective indicators.  I have kept the standard indicators for added visibility and it looks great

I also stuck silverised tape inside the indicator housing to increase the light output

and now with LED indicators:
