just in the middle of fitting my new heated grips, getting ready for them cold winter days :-$ all going well apart from having to grind a plastic ring of the throttle body, then it's just wiring to go.
so what DIY job have you started thinking this wont take me long, should be easy, then it turned out to be a lot harder than you thought it would be ?? |

Best part of two and a half hours, some busted spanners, rounded nuts, a blow torch and a can of WD40 later it was done! |
