Not a bad idea. I don't think I have my hydraulic floor jack any more but even a scissor jack with a hefty and wide piece of wood would work. Out of curiosity: have you seen them/heard about them moving or simply a precaution?Were the bolts reasonably easy to remove or a pain in the patoot?I did get a set of hex bits for my 3/8" ratchet. Thought that would be better than trying to wrestle a regular hex key. Even if it wasn't necessary, it was still a good excuse.
I did one side at a time on my 2105 V7. No issues-did not even need a jack.
Kev, which engine guards do you use?
Looking good, I’ll check them out.
Engine guards are finally installed. Very anticlimactic.I did end up using a jack as insurance but now that I've done it once, I think it would have been fine without.Blue Loctite was used.I did one side at a time.The Guzzi and the Givi bolts/nuts were different sizes. Not a problem, just a note.The hex bits were REALLY handy but they hadn't torqued the heck out of the bolts so they weren't hard to get off.I like 'em!upload images
1) I like your color choice
I'm trying to save all my spare watts for heated gear. Just got this in the mailhttps://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-electric-warmbib.htmlHow much do lights like that pull? I like the placement; it must really light up the road.
I used sliders on both my V7s. Over Racing for the Stone and Sato Racing for the Dark.
Shame Sato don't make the sliders in black (or red for the Racer). They stand out like dog's balls in the natural aluminium.
Hamlin Cycles has access to a fantastic machine shop. The guy who runs it is a pure artist. On my SATO someone at design didn't rally think it thru. The guards did not protrude quite enough to be as effective as they could have been. Last visit to jim's shop we removed one, called the guy, and an hour later he returned with two PERFECT extended mounting spacers, all tapped and supplied with correct bolts, to reinstall the SATO on the bike. All edges were slightly rounded off and mounting holes were countersunk perfect. An absolute joy to behold if you can appreciate the skill of a good machine shop.He's the same guy who made custom mounts for the fork visibility lights on my Norge. Pure machine art made out of top notch materials.
