More Air

I wanted to know how the bike would sound with pod filters instead of the stock airbox.
It's a pretty easy job to get the stuff off and pods on (~€15ea)

 The secondary air filter just crumbled in my hands after unscrewing it from the underneath of the airbox

 1 sacrificial sponge and some engine oil later

 Oh, and some tape to cover the now open end that was covered by the underside of the airbox

Best I could do without hose the correct diameter, oil that got sucked into the airbox now goes straight to ground

Just before popping the tank back on

does it sound any different? yes. There is definitely a sharper growl now and the noise from the engine coming through the tank is a lot louder but the most striking sound is at about 80% - 90% throttle, there is a distinctive flapping noise, I can only imagine it is the needles.
There is also a bit more farting than normal after the exhaust change, she needs her fuel air mixture adjusted properly, I do like the difference in noise but the airbox will probably go back on coming into the winter

Vision

I'd liked the look and functionality of the doubletake mirrors reviewed by Adventure Oz so splashed out.
came in a dodgy looking package

 but looked alright when out

uses ram mount

very versatile, good visibility, maneuverable at any time, only downside compared to stock mirrors is they tend to hold dirt a bit more after rain dries off, just needs an extra quick wipe now and again
