A bit After-The-Fact but this is what I do on my Curvy e.g stick a bit of Cardboard on the Rad with some double sided tape.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I've only had the bike since July but I finally got round to adding the tail for my Optimate. It's now plugged in and I managed to find a nice tucked away location for the plug to exit under the seat making it neat and tidy and easy to use. Hoorah.

Fork stanchion replaced on the VFR. Pattern part from Wemoto.com which looked fine and fitted perfectly.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Keeping this heat shield from the VFR looking good was a pain. Paint just didn't last. So just had it powder coated and it looks great.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
The photo isn't great. Looks even better in reality. I did a lot of this on my first SV including the subframe.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Today I finished replacing the alternator rotor (this one has whole magnets) so it now produces electricity, and replaced all the brake calipers. Yes, I could have refurbished them, but I scored some in excellent condition on eBay for the same price as a refurb kit.
Now if the rain/wind/snow could just stop... Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk
