Looks a bit cleaner.

This was a while ago, so it might be a bit late to recall the details, but did removing the SAS make any difference besides decluttering the engine's look?

No difference at all.

hah! you should send this pic to r&g racing so they can update their website. i was looking for a clear tank pad but never found a pic online so bought the black pad. clear pad looks much better.

Could be looking weird, because you put it on rotated, even the logo.

deliberately. the longer pad base is needed when braking hard at the track. and the r&g logo looks better upside down. to me

Wanted to go for a ride this morning, walked into the garage to unlock the bike, flat rear tyre:

The culprit:

Plugged the hole:
Had lunch, checked the pressure, all good, went for a ride:

Well, the stop & go plug I used to plug the tyre did not last very long. About 400km and then it let go.
So I replaced it with one of those sticky string type plugs on the side of the road.

… but - at last - you had a wonderful ride…

Last bath of the season today. They have started putting salt on the roads, so that's my season over.
It needed the bath:


Much better now:

Done 9016km on the Vit this year. Odo now reads: 45.421km.

Would be the same here - Hochsauerlandkreis. Unfortunatley I wasn‘t able to ride a lot due to my new friend Tossy 3… anyway, next season will start soon!
