@Hood Amazing, congrats buddy! Looks like we have ordered the exact same bike (Matte black ATAS, ES DCT) Mine is ready next week.

Few questions given you had a 2021 bike:

• How is the screen?
• You specced the deflectors it seems (as have I) - rate them?
• What SC project is that? I'm eyeing SC Rally Raid and Akrapovic Racing Line

Congrats again!

 

[AffricaTtwin]

I second that!

Not the best pics as it is in the garage but got the SC Project on, pillion and front foot pegs, bash plate, top tank pad, light protector (top part only so far, need to punch more circles for the lowers) rear rack plate and lastly the crash bars.
Still have to put the phone holder, hand guards, Denalis and the ezCAN but they can wait, exhaust, pegs and bars were the priority, now I just need to get some time to get out on it

Looks epic @Hood
Those are the AS3 crash bars and bash plate? Nice bit of inspo for my bike 💪🏻💪🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

 

[AffricaTtwin]

Yes, AS3 bars and bash plate, the bash plate was from the last bike but had to get new bars as the ATAS ones are different than the AT's ones.

Looks mint with the matte black. The SC project silencer on its own good enough of a sound enhancement?

 

[AffricaTtwin]

It is slightly louder but much better sound especially when auto blipping on down shifts.

I am hoping the side tank pads come in soon as I think they will take away from the massive look to the side of the tank. I had the oem Honda ones on the AT and they looked good. Also had the RubbaTech top pad on the AT but the ones for the ATAS is different but still looks good and protects the top of the tank from zips or whatever.

Pic of the side and top pad on the AT.

I’m afraid I’m going to befriend you @Hood whether you like or not 😂 You have impeccable taste

 

[AffricaTtwin]

Cheapest quote I had for good cover was with Devitt, but may see if Bennetts can price match.

 

[AffricaTtwin]

Removed side panels, fairing and tank to route the cables for the lights and to fit the ezCAN, also got the handguards and phone holder/charger fitted and finally the cornering light covers. Not sure I like the positioning of the dots on the light covers but it will do for now.
Also removed the throttle grip to see what they have done to eliminate the free play and it seems to be different TPS as I put the old grip on from the 2021 AT for a test and there is no play in that either.
The ATAS side panels and fairing are a lot different to remove from the AT's but not any harder really.

A few pics.

Looking epic @Hood Good job! Proper classy look. Batman’s Africa Twin!
The wiring job looks slightly more involved than I thought, or have you gone the extra mile in removing the tank were otherwise you wouldn’t need to?
Awaiting news from the dealer on a collection date for mine… must resist ordering parts in the meanwhile…

 

[AffricaTtwin]

Think I’ll go Denali D3’s via an EZcan. Likely also go B3 rear light and soundbomb whilst i’m at it

 

[AffricaTtwin]

I find by buying in non-descript ‘colours’ my wife can’t tell when something has been ‘upgraded’.

 

[AffricaTtwin]

Any more updates/mods @Hood? I need my fix since my bike probably will be delayed a week or two longer (no fault of dealer).

 

[AffricaTtwin]

Too busy fitting/adapting a second hand shelter deck on a fishing boat to do much.
The last day when I was putting on the ezCAN I noticed there were no tools in the toolbox, bit annoyed, thought that maybe they thought I was an American Then I spied them under the rear seat and they fitted snugly there so that is where they will stay as it allows me to do this.
