Does My Arse Look Big? - Busdriver - 12-06-2012
My journey to The Dark Side is complete.
I have fitted higher bars, extra tail/stoplight, and a 3rd pannier.
My bike is now a fully dressed tourer.

Hmmmmmmm.....yes Les, that DOES make your arse look B-I-G!!!!
If you paint it all black, with some vertical stripes.....it will help your arse to "appear" slimmer (...maybe)!?!
But look on the bright side........you're gonna be able to fit a shite-load of JUNK, inside that TRUNK!!
ps: lane filtering is gonna be SO MUCH MORE "interesting" for ya!!!
pps: I'm gonna havva similar set-up soon for an around OZ trip, but I'm opting for the slim-line panniers, me thinks?

I need all the room so I can carry Max's crap that won't fit in his tank bag :)

Once full, with all that weight back over the back wheel, and you sitting upright with higher bars . . . how ya gonna keep the front down?
Lookin' good Les.

Wind up the pre-load on the remote adjuster on the Ohlins rear shock

Looks great. It will be interesting to see if it "wobbles" over bumps or high speeds...
RE: Does My Arse Look Big? - raceworx - 12-06-2012
I wanna know if you can go off the clock with all that junk in ya trunk??
RE: Does My Arse Look Big? - Busdriver - 12-06-2012
new ohlins suspension stops the prevents wobbles, and no you can't go off the clock.....I never did anyway :)

Lane filtering will be easy you will just slide between the cars.

RE: Does My Arse Look Big? - bazman - 12-06-2012
what happened to your other panniers, Les???
RE: Does My Arse Look Big? - Busdriver - 12-06-2012
The two on the side I've had for ages. Just got the third one so I'll have somewhere to stow my wet weather gear and also my helmet and gloves when I stop for breaks on my big trips
RE: Does My Arse Look Big? - bazman - 12-06-2012
I thought you had some top opening panniers that hugged the busa more tightly....or am i thinking of someone else?!?
ps: btw....what brand are these ones?
RE: Does My Arse Look Big? - Busdriver - 12-06-2012
someone else I think
