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.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Really???
They have no control if you brake hard (it happens).
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.

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.
Feel the Fear and do it anyway!
