I'll still have to consider pod filter some time, but it's not high up my list currently.

The real reason for me bumping this was my crappy attempt at a photoshop earlier, this is roughly what I'll be aiming for in the not too distant future, although probably an inch or 2 shorter, with a restyled grab rail. Maybe. In some form! (I want to be able to carry a pillion passenger) (I'm getting my black powdercoated swingarm back soon too)

As I said I took off my grab rail looks much better without it and I prefer a pillion to hold on to me anyway.

Really???
They have no control if you brake hard (it happens).

I carry pillion's a reasonable amount, and I definitely prefer it if they hold onto the rail. Unless they're REALLY good, then hard braking = balls into tank. Which is never preferable! I'll possibly custom make one though - it's pretty easy to bend some steel tubing.

Have you got one of those pillion rubber mesh seat covers, they are absolutely brilliant at keeping a passengers arse firmly in place when braking and accelerating.
For the small amount they cost i think they're an essential bit of kit.


They give the seat a bit of character as well.

Pretty sure they are just black. The "silver" is almost certainly highlights from the lighting.
