Hi :D

I want to post a few pics of my 620ie Dark SD bought
one year ago from Squiffy

Here's the ad:

I can't express how happy I am right now, just got back from the
first ride, the quality of the pictures is below average.

This is how it looks like right now, including a few low-budget mods like:
Lowered Headlight
Anodized forks
Modified Tea-Tray
Clip Ons
Modified Top Yoke
No visible Cable-Ties
Custom Paintjob
Taper roller bearings
Twin disc conversion
Many blacked out parts
Heated grips :chuckle:
etc.

Modding will proceed during winter

Looks great - nice work :biggrin:

Why (other than why not) did you lower the headlight?

Mainly for aesthetical reasons. :look:
On one hand I prefer the look of the headlight being in line with the frame,
on the other it's inevitable if you want to place the intrument cluster below
the triple clamp.

Thanks

I will be more careful, but the crash was somehow unavoidable,
at least without x-ray vision. :shocked:
Seriously, I am now alerted to people jumping red lights.

The lowered headlight mod is quite popular on another forum:

I tried it occasionally, because the U-bracket was deformed anyway and the front
has been disassembled.
The total expense has been some kind of "stone guard" matt black paint,
welding carried out by a friend.
