Here's a few pics from today's bimble around the North Coast of Northern Ireland on my new bike. Please forgive my the cheap digital camera and rubbish photographer, but I hope you can appreciate the nice scenery! Smile

I'm hoping the weather will be this nice for the NW 200 in a month's time! Cool

Thought I would add some more recent pics rather than opening another thread just to show the bike as it looks now.

I've changed a few subtle things. MTC exhaust (VERY loud even with the baffle in Cool ) , Evotech Radiator Cover, Evotech tail tidy and Skidmarx rear hugger.

Not sure that the exhaust is doing it for me.

Maybe some end of bar mirrors instead?

Bar end mirrors are a possibility. Maybe would "tidy" up the front a bit.

As far as the exhaust goes, to be honest I maybe preferred the clean look of the original. However I'm used to the MTC one now and don't mind it. The thing that got me about the OE exhaust was the sound, or to be more specific - the lack of. Sounded like a lawnmower at tick over and not much better once I got going. Confused

The standard cans on the TRX are a little quiet unless you're caning it at speed. To say that it sounds like a portable generator isn't too much of an understatement.

Don't know how much the cans weight on the TRX, but if they're anything like the OE on mine, they probably weight something near to a portable generator to! Very Happy

I thought the stickers looked quite nice which is why I stuck them on. The tail tidy and radiator guard is my first experience of evotech products - seems decent enough so far! Thumbs Up

Cheers Craig. The bits I've added were more for practicality rather than the tarty factor (with the exception of the tail tidy). But if you can cover more than one base - all the better! Smile

Always like these bikes.

These bar end mirrors are supposed to be pretty good. https://www.motrax.co.uk/index.php?mod=product&id_prd=238
