Featured Scrambler Triple To Twin - My Scrambler 1200xe

I was going to post an update Bug, because I realised that the Booster Plug has been doing its job so stealthily, that I'd forgotten that it's there.

I'm coming up to my first service next week and the bike is feeling so strong and responsive - absolutely no stalling, no hesitation, much stronger pick-up and none of the weird throttle surging when it's cold. On the narrow Essex lanes, I've taken to staying in fourth on some fairly tight bends and as long as it doesn't drop below 2,000 to 2,500 rpm, it hauls its way round.

Very impressed

 

Wow...your bike is looking good - I really like that

 

Yep...here I am - and when you get your new toy, we should catch up again somewhere and check out each other's (bikes)

 

It is painful, when none of the parts that you've collected are transferable...and you have to start again. Initial availability for new parts is frustrating too - but at least you'll have longer to put cash aside for them

My AR was a GP3 (GP1 Titanium Can + GP1R Black Ceramic Tip). I really like the black/orange look (on a KTM) - especially the high exit full system (add it to the mortgage ).

Let me know when you're ready for High Beech

 

You've ruled out the full system then (it's only £2,699. Plus VAT.)

I'm perplexed by the low plus optional high can - I guess they had to find a way of bumping the price up



All I have left of my AR is a black hoody

 

Getting back to Scrambler things. Mrs T bought me a headlamp surround for my birthday and I really love it. Slightly fiddly to fit but it's on and looking great

 

Lockdown fever continues with my compulsion to do something with my bike, resulting in this:

A Denali Soundbomb Mini horn.

OK, it's not exactly a thrilling modification, but it's WAY louder than the old squeeker and it attaches directly to the existing fittings (no external compressor). I used a spare Evotech numberplate bracket to lift it clear of the header pipe and it tucks away relatively neatly. Hopefully it won't melt in that position

Just need to get out there and hoot some people

 

Yep...I resisted for a while, but now I have one, I really like it and it adds a quality look to the headlight
