Glad it all went well, you certainly get a good bang for your buck with that kit, and it’s all your work :thumbup . Fuel consumption may increase a tad, but the grin outweighs any negatives.
You were lucky regarding the deer event, as could have turned out a lot worse. One of my pals hit one in his car only a couple of years ago, but it’s really affected his bike speed confidence, especially passing through woods/forests, which is quite understandable. The car took a good hit which would have been much worse on a bike. I had one decide to cross the road in front of me up in Scotland, fortunately giving me time to do something about it. However I did start thinking that if the car that baulked me a mile or so back, hadn’t, then I’d have been further up the road towards the deer, with no doubt a different outcome :eek .
I have developed a habit of easing off when I see the signs or when passing through woodland.

Haha lol - yes, err on the side of caution. Tends to be my mantra now - for anything to do with the missus :rollin :rollin :rollin
