See Fenda Extenda for 90c and BMW K75s Paint supplier Brisbane Australia. I chased up a lot of methods on protecting my belly pan before settling on Gyrphs bed liner sugestion. So far very happy with both. If you make a Fenda Extenda please post pictures.

Rebuilt the gas cap as well. It was caked full of old gas nastiness.

Motorhead any chance you could post more  detailed pictures of how the crash bars mount with the belly pan in place. I have been trying to work out how to do it on mine.

fixed RH blinker switch.  Not sure what I did, took it off, looked at it, played with it, it started working, put it back on.  I can now turn right with impunity!

thanx, but lefts are a such hassle up here, everyone driving on the right ya know.  If it messes up again I'll move down there.  Actually, looking at our upcoming elections, moving there looks pretty good even if the blinker keeps working.

All jokes aside I had a sister in law that refused to do RH turns and would do three lefts in order to turn right. She was a extreme menace on the road and thank god only drove for twelve months before she stopped. I only drove in the car once that was enough, the car had dents allover it, according to her all caused by other people. :yow

I've been repairing the scars on the right side of my fairing. Bondo and spotting putty and a lot of sanding. I found a Rustoleum cobalt blue metallic paint which is pretty darn close to the right color.
Might not be perfect, but it looks a whole lot better than all scratched up.

Added a 12x12 BeadRider Ultimate to my sawed-off Corbin Dual Canyon saddle.

Fellow MotoBrick MotoMadness 2016'ers can look forward to my sweet smelling aero-cooled butt in Utah and Coloradah later this month.  :ba:

On my way home from work Friday, felt that the bike was not riding correct.  It wandered and wallowed in the corners.  Sure enough, nearly flat rear tire was the problem.  Seems the cheap 90 degree valve has sprung a leak at the rim.  Have an appointment to change the leaking valve next week.  Meanwhile, have to use the M-G to get to work.

Robert had the same problem with that type of valve on my bike. Only it was the front tyre and  I had instant deflation at highway speed, steering went heavy. I managed to nurse it in to a service station. Had front and rear valves replaced with steel right angle ones, the black rubber ones should be banned.

too much centripetal force on right angle valve stems for the small port in the motobrick wheels... they all end up leaking or worse...

i use these...

or

i use these...

many miles... many wheels... no problems...

dont know if those can be found in canadaica or australica though...
