What have you done to your GS or GS Adventure today?

I like the way it looks though.

Got a KEEPER!

Installed new engine/tank guards on a cold snowy day...

I wrapped them, thanks, thought they came out pretty well.

Perfect.

Ordered a set of TKC-80's from Competition Accessories... They had the best price I found with free shipping to boot!

I got my new Wilbers front and rear shocks

Gotta wait until I get back from the Mississippie Hill Country Trail ride http://www.transamtrail.com/reports/...3-mississippi/ we are doing next week (on the DRZ) until I can get them installed.
They do look ohh soooo nice in the box though

My Russell saddle came in yesterday.


Getting pretty wide in the side to side. Donk never was a skinny girl though.

Looks mighty comfy!

Made an oil cooler guard out of some perforated aluminum I had laying around.
Used edge guard to dress up the edges so they don’t scratch up the paint. Should be pretty impact
resistant.

for awhile to make sure its getting enough air flow. Was easy to put together. Used a piece of cardboard to trace and
cut out the shape, then put the bend to be able to bolt through the cross brace with button head stainless hardware.

Beautifully crafted!

Well done, Doug. That looks good.

Buddy of mine has a lighting business, we found these LED auxiliary lights that seem to be duplicates of the original Twisted Throttle Denali lights. Fraction of the cost at $59 each, they list 750 lumens drawing .75 amps and include the stainless mount. Of course, they don't include a wiring harness or any type of switch, but I like a little DIY anyway...

I got one pair with a 60 degree beam for use as driving lights which I haven't mounted yet:



And another pair with 20 degree beams that I have wired with a relay to come on with the high beams. The mounts are temporary until I decide for sure this is where I want them. I like the location, they are protected from impact in case of a fall and don't seem to obstruct air flow to the oil cooler:



I have converted both my headlights to HID, so I like the "instant-on" of the LEDs when I turn on the high beam, and the two of them add possibly as much light up front as my 35-watt HID high beam alone.

I'll post some pics of the light output after I install my wide-angle driving lights.

Cheers!

Not today, but the other night we took most of the accessories off ready for trade in. Touratech may be expensive, but you'll always get around 70% back if you ever sell the stuff
