Your 701 is so good looking! I love that paint scheme with the spoked wheels. I also love that engine - I have owned two 690 Duke R's which have the same cheeky thumper. So much character and fun on the twisties. I miss it! My 690:

I've not heard of that before (seasonal plate). Makes sense because you just tax the bike for the months you can ride... I try to ride all year if possible, but obviously not if below 4℃ or too wet.

looks perfect weather Tom! Surely you will continue riding until winter hits?

It follows the lines of the bike perfectly.

Interested to find out if it fits and how it sounds!

This may help, here are all the part numbers included in my heated grip order:

Same here. Could sync the phone and use the handlebar controls but not the cardo. Waste of time!

I've heard the Duke 790 ones are compatible and in stock

Mine were ordered in June and just arrived last week. Just in time for cold weather!

If you can afford it, I would recommend the Fuel X lite. I haven't had any engine stalls or cut outs so far and I'm at 7000+kms. My review: https://hqvadventure.com/forum/threads/fuelx-lite-review.1763/

I'm a small guy! 65kg so maybe that's a factor...

That looks really good Tom. An upgrade!

Thinking about a DNA filter to improve the intake noise. Wonder if the Fuel X Lite will adapt to it automatically or not? The blurb would suggest it will autotune to the filter:

Mine has never died on me (so far anyway). I fitted the Fuel X Lite during the first month to smooth out the low end response, and have done a write up on here about it. The Lite version only comes with one map, so no option for fine tuning but I'm happy with it.

4400 miles / 7081 kms (and a first puncture repair!)

I'll swap for Road 6's - I'm currently at 4400 (miles) and there's still tread left so holding off for a bit. I had S22's on my Duke 790, then Rosso Corsa IIs - both good tyres, but not as hard wearing as Michelin Road 6s.

I really like the tyres! Michelin Road 6's? How do you like them?

Can we here a sound bite from your airbox mod please? I'm thinking more intake noise will sound really good!

Looks soooo good without the licence plate 😜🤘🏻

Would it not be more cost effective to add some spotlights?
