I have recently taken delivery of my Shad top box and Renntec engine bars.
With the top box mounting frame I had to shim it out with washers so it wouldn't interfer with the indicator stalks. Otherwise it was a simple installation. I have ordered the panniers which I should receive before Christmas. The quality of the Shad box is lower than givi and I can see that plastic will most likely turn from black to grey in the sun, but it is watertight in hose pipe tests, lets see if it is in a Darwin wet season storm. I am considering painting the box to match the bike colour.
With the Renntec bars, I now have to paint the engine before putting these bars on. It would look kind of crap to have shinny bars and faded engine.
Yes it needs a wash
and the seat re upholstered.
Anyone know of a good way to make the greyed bits of plastic look black again?
