A few pics clicked on Sunday by my good friend at Log into Facebook

Very nice but, I can't stop staring at that workshop. Would kill for that setup.

 

[killjoy]

Haha, that is a friend's factory just used for the location to shoot the pics..

Killjoy, (odd name for a 'Strada rider!)

That black flash on the sides of the tank: is it original or aftermarket, do you know?

 

[killjoy]

Old nickname, stuck with it. The black is stickering that I did on the bike to break the red and also to hide a couple of small scratches on the tank. (actually it is closer to grey to match the frame on the bike).

 

[nickwst4]

Well, I rather like your stickering! I have some graphite grey plastic I used on kitchen unit plinths, so might have a go with that. Dunno if I can cut it neatly though...

Do you have a full-on side view of your bike? No need for fancy props!

I have some CF pattern wrap that I might try like that. I have a nasty bruise on the right fairing from a dump.

Here you go

 

[nickwst4]

Brilliant, thanks! Definitely worth a try.

 

[gatdammit]

From that angle, it actually looks really good. Compliments the design. Are those CNC cut stickers? Wanna sell some?

 

[killjoy]

Haha, no man, just used wrapping sticker and cut it by hand after sticking on the tank

Got mine dirty in Colorado last week.

 

[N4teTheGreat]

Nicely done!

What tail bag is that?

What tail bag is that?

30 dollar expandable one from amazon

 

[killjoy]

Does it sit tight on the rear seat? I got a similar one but unable to lock it down tightly. If it does, can you please share the link? Thank you.

 

[Martymoe]

Kinda, but i put a top case plate on the rack that is a bit bigger than the bag so it keeps it pretty stable

 

[gatdammit]

Anyone tried cutting thick piece of foam to fill the rear seat/ grab bar void? Even Styrofoam with a coat of paint would work. After a tail bag is cinched down it wouldn't go anywhere. I lash a 30L bag across the back but it's not rigid and rides fine. Never wanted to install top box plate cause I like to shed all the luggage for cruising.
