Right, I'm either getting too old or been used to the Transalp for too long, but I've fitted bar risers to Eile. The bars, in the standard position, seemed to be an awful long way away. Also, Rachel noted that as pillion she was much further away from me than when sat on the Transalp. So, with me now being able to sit more upright this might not be so obvious.
And the silly rear rack and single helmet top box have gone - to be replaced with an SW-Motech rear rack that'll carry my humongous Givi top box. The new rack also has pillion hand holds which the previous rack didn't. Rachel wasn't keen on the lack of hand holds.
Now then, what next? Oh yes, a mount for the Garmin. Not sure where it's going to go yet, but I can feel a custom mount coming on. Saws, drills and files at the ready then.......
