Purchasing protection II

Handguards, tricky with the Revere's not round clip-ons, more like 2 separate bolt down on top of the forks so no handlebar area to attach solidly, I went for bar-end mounting...


manky old barend weight, needed elbow grease to budge it


 too tight and the throttle gets sticky! obviously warping me auld handlebars



These are fine versus wind, rain and the occasional wing mirror clip,
the white looks well and the shield is a misty smokey colour, was a bit of a gamble but paid off








Farty Mc Farterson

She's been getting increasingly more windy to the extent it was starting to sound like a uzi driveby,
the culprit? loosened inlet manifold rubber clamp!
This bolt had most likely never been touched since the factory, the nut was rusted on so badly I ruined the bolt head. Thought about a dremel, then thought better when I realised sparks so close to a fuel leaking rubber tube was a bad idea, fileing it down or off seemed the safest but I'm too impatient for that...


 2 drillbits later and new bolt and nut in place, and not as farty! but still farty, the quest continues!
