Installed a "gear indicator"

Good reason.. And very "cool"

What is the benefit of covering the downpipes with this kind of stuff?
I have seen many times in " cafe racers", but thought that the only reason was the "cool look"

Best ones imo are these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-VTR1000F-manual-cam-chain-tensioner-firestorm-superhawk-new-MCCT-1997-2005/163531191293?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D0ef925f4830f4cc2b0e3d97491ef5899%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3...

I bought them here. https://rspec.co.uk/gauges-52mm-clear-black-face-series-c-3_134/ Nice quality items, ( I have changed now the white volt meter for a black one also) I tested before some cheap chinesse gauges, wasted money, they vibrate all the time, and they aren´t accurate.

I opted for this on mine..



I used a " sandwich" between the engine and filter to install the senders. It´s needed to fit the engine cover to size due to the increased length of the oil filter.

Received yesterday the new seat from Topsellerie.
Here some pictures.

I put vfr ones on a year or two back, just never got round to fitting longer cables. They're ok as they are, just a tad short on full lock, so it's rarely noticeable You still routing them round the front of the forks ? Try changing to run behind the fork... +1 I had to do that when installed the S...
