I know that phonetics are subjective and people see different things, but I just read Icarus's reg (which you should really blank out in open forum mate) and, to me, it read 'METEOR F*CKER'. How cool is that!
Home made effort, pretty crude, but the blade is a great bike for it: various easy to access bolts to mount things to, so it's not a complicated job. Don't use ali though; the vibes make it crack and fatigue eventually. I think there are proper racks available somewhere, but they usually stick out the back to allow room for pillions. I prefer the box over the pillion seat so I can back the bike in to tight parking slots next to walls etc..., although it does make getting on the bike a bit awkward at times. The box full of useful things and a massive lock, plus heated grips, heated jacket and the ABS make it a reasonable winter hack! I wrote a full review on the forum somewhere.
smashing; i enjoy seeing shadetree solutions and seeing what other people come up with. i never found anything that came close to what i wanted for the 1krr, so i applied some home remedy myself: modular mounting points, a removable rack, and a place to mount some saddlebags all without modifying any of the stock parts.
It's new, from the states I also fitted motodynamic rear light now Do you want me to find the link for the bracket?
If you can please mate, I've been looking for something like that and was about to try and make something, we can have matching tails (but yours won't be as fast because its not Black)
