Hi everybody,

I'm from Portugal-Porto,
just got my red AT last week (numbered #58 in Portugal)


Got ride of the front mudguards and screen decals,
and blackned (powder coating) it a bit (crash bars, panniers, exhaust, carter protection).
Made provisional TomTom Rider GPS mount.

Here some photos of my first real offroad ride this weekend.

It's an awesome motorcycle. I'm, delighted.

Olá Lobo Mau,

that trip master is placed in an awkward place. Is it because of the gps?
Like that stealth look (panniers and bashplate).
Crashbar is from Honda also?

Mine is tricolour. #42.

Nice, bought the same but DCT, weather is still bad I see. I will visit your country this year the month august. With the AT off course.

Olá António,

Yes the tripmaster is provisionally placed in an awkward place.
The GPS is also in a temporary mount and power connection.
I'm designing and will produce a proper mount in a more appropriate place.

but was in an hurry to ride and use the GPS.

Yes, Crash bar and panniers are from Honda, both black powder coated by me.

Allo Bartho,

Good, if beginning of August maybe we could meet here and ride the ATs.

Last two weeks of August I will ride the AT to Scotland Highlands

Hi Lobo Mau and welcome to the forum.

Looks better in black ;-) For the tripmaster, did you receieved it and if yes did you received the remote control?

 

[Bartho]

I would be nice to meet each other but I think it won't be possible. I start the second week off august and need min a week to get there. Maybe an other day you never now. I was in Scotland last year in august for two weeks. Nice place to go and I was lucky to have all the time nice weather hope for you to.

Yes, I received the remote control, it's installed in the left side of handlebar.
Tripmaster will be relocated to position near de GPS, and in Vertical orientation (!!! yes :surprise:!!!).

Next move will be further sticker-decal removing, now partial on the sides of fairing

From what you write, I gather that the decals are not painted over with a layer of clear paint. If this the case, than ....

Never mind

Stickers on the fairing and mudguard have not clear paint and are easy to remove.
Used a simple hair dryer, and it was very easy.


Stickers on the tank have clear paint. I will not try to remove that white L, but I would like to remove it.

So if you wish to wash the bike with a pressure washer (e.g. Karcher), you not only need to stay away from the chain, bearings, electrics and the radiators, but also from the plastics :frown2:

Not much bike left to wash :wink2:
