Finally got around to getting my Ventura rack installed
The 40 litre bag is perfect for long trips, I'll get the smaller bag also after Xmas for going to & from work.

Ordered a new battery, my oem battery finally gave up.

Custom front sprocket cover in carbon fiber. Also made a carbon fiber plate to cover the ground wire area. Changed up the abs wire routing and holder while I was at it. Hey.....I'm almost done.

Your FTR looks awesome, sweet job.

Where did you get the gold bolts from?

Had a ride home from work in the rain. Oh well.

My wife said the same thing. But also told me to keep the ftrs and get a challenger lol.

I just ordered a Sport Chief, so now I will have all 3. Is this what addiction feels like?

It will fit in nicely between the Ftr and challenger. If I didn’t have 2 Ftr’s I would order a sport chief. It’s really fun to ride

Sadly I sold mine. Had that and my Chieftain...too many bikes.

That was then...

... and this is now:

Grips were long over due, and the Puig bar end "weights" didn't carry much weight beingmade out of aluminium, they only added unnecessary width to an already wide bar.

Enter Sato bar end weights! Hope they take some of the buzz out of the bars. My phone's started taking warped photos after sitting at the bars last summer, mayby it'll survive with the new setup.

The colourmatch of the grips are not as hideous as in the picture, but not spot on either. Let's se how they fair in daylight. Which will take a while, got 30 new cm of snow last week...

The FTR is the only one of our five bikes that blows out the stabilizer in my iPhone when mounted on the bars. I found the QuadLock anti vibration mount to be the answer. I haven’t had a single issue since I installed it. Previously I had blown out two of the iPhone camera stabilizers.

Alright, thanks for the tip, might look for one of those then. I just hate all the fuzz with changing phones.

I also use the stabilizer from them and have had zero issues for 3 years.

thankfully with the Quadlock, you just need a new case when you upgrade rather than a whole new mount

Have applied a foil on the carbon seat couver. I am happy with the result.
