The new grips turned up in the post today which meant I could finally get around to fitting the new mirrors – which I promptly scratched on the wall whilst parking the bike up; ace. |
Yamaha XJ650 Maxim – Grab Rail Remains Deleted

Today saw the removal of the ungainly and potentially unsafe remains of the stock pillion grab rail. I’d love to know how it ended up in that state, but chances are I never will. What I do know is that they had to go. |
Yamaha XJ650 Maxim – Dry Build 95% Complete

Yamaha XJ650 Maxim – Gremlins
Today saw the removal of all electrical gremlins from the system, mainly down to cleaning up the fusebox and installing new fuses.
