Calliper screws

Changed the front disc calliper screws from the standard screws to a not common screw set to avoid the disc callipers being stolen or removed. Sadly its a common issue here if you happen to park your bike in certain areas. To avoid all this l decided to get em changed to be on the safe side.

The new screw set comes with its own custom locking head to be able you to urscrew or tighten it.

Grip Puppies

Been looking for a way to reduce the handlebar vibrations and read about this puppies over at the versys 1000 forum.  Figured will just try em to see if there are any difference.

So ordered them online and it came in about 2 weeks. Got them installed today. Installation was pretty straightforward as written at the back of the packaging.  I used some water ansld dish washing liquid to slide the grip puppies into place. Took no more then 5 mins each side mainly because I had the handguards to remove first. Overall pretty simple.

Took the bike out for a spin later and those puppies are really nice to squeeze.  As for vibrations definitely feel less vibration rattling up ya arm.
