Title: A Christmas present for STrudel
Post by: CallMeSteve on January 13, 2020, 02:36:41 PM

Now he has a fancy schmancy tank cover. I’m not sure whether he looks more like a Jersey cow or a killer whale. The white is not quite a match, but I didn’t expect it to be. Sometimes I have to put a limit on my OCD tendencies lol.

Pretty impressive!  I hadn't seen a 2 colour one before.
Being an ST13, it's certainly not a penguin.  I'd stick with "killer whale".  Cows are way too dumb and harmless.

Me neither until the CMA run last year.  There was a bloke there with a red/white CB1300 and with a colour-matched red/white bagster cover.  That's what gave me the idea.

Now you just need to ride in a storm trooper outfit.

The bike is stunning - well done. Definitely killer whale, not Holstein/Friesian (and definitely not Jersey).
I must ask - what is it you have hanging about the dash. I'm guessing there is a Quadlock type thing there but I can't work out what all the other plastic is.

Thanks.  I’ll pass on your compliments to the big guy.

Yeah the thing on the left is a Quadlock handlebar Mount that I modified with a RAM ball, before they offered a RAM mount version. The thing on the right is a DOD Hummer dashcam.  It adds to the ‘cop bike’ image, but it was rather expensive. I’m  thinking of replacing it with one of the several dual-camera units that are available quite cheaply now.
