08 Shiver 750
Picture taken this morning. Not a great day but even in poor conditions we own an awesome looking bike chaps.
Most of the visible mods I want are now done, they are:
1. R&G tail tidy
2. Gia Moto Rearsets
3. Renthal bar clamps with Gia Moto spacer
4. Short levers from someone in China
5. Oberon bar end mirrors, but I took them off as even they are too big and spoil the lines.
Now I have the ground clearance well and truly sorted, the next on the list to do is professional suspension set up and new tyres as the Dunlops don't inspire confidence.
I really can't get the hang of uploading photos, hopefully this will have worked better.....
I think I may have finally worked out how to share better quality pictures so please forgive me for experimenting. Here are a couple of the mods close up and a pic of my first trackday on the Shiver back in March. Only downside is how bad those leathers look in higher quality! They have since been replaced.....
here's some pic from our trip's

I like the pics dRb and see that you use the same Givi rack as me with soft bags. But the height of that tank bag!With all that gear on board it must have been a tight squeeze for your passenger - are you still on speaking terms.
My other half has always refused to pillion on the shiver, which is why she has her own bike.

The black and white photos got me wanting to fiddle with filters too....

the tank bag is not a problem, even fully opened (40l) i can see the dashboard.
didn't understand the part for my sugarplum - she didn't had any problems regarding the saddle bags.
I adjusted them to follow here legs.
but she isn't happy with with comfort of shiver - maybe in future capo will be the next choice.
funny story with givi rack. i bought them in brighton in uk and brought them home to croatia. and then I lost them. couldn't find them in Croatia, and then I found out that they are no longer in givi offer. finally after few days found the last piece in Beograd in Serbia. I'm expecting the old ones to come out from some part of my garage any day now![]()
Yes custom made by local guy, tony archer car upholsterer can make any design you want.
thats really cool, id do that in a heartbeat if i had the cash. looks like there is a nice back support there too
yes he built the rear up and added a gel pack for my good ladies derriere!
I like the look and it seems to suit the bike.
went for a ride with 2-stroke bikes this morning...
