mirrors (when he find them !). Tank and side panels chromed. Bridgestone
B45 tyres. Lots of chrome polish and elbow grease. Good looking W650 with

Roy's newest W650 have been built up at this winter work. I think W
is waiting to be shine under the spring sun. |

Mr. Ian McEwen from New Zealand, W650 with high exhaust pips.
He explain me that W have been made a few other mods like changing the
color of the side covers to silver, fitted low triumph bars which really
improved front end handling, tilted the instruments up slightly, removed
the tank badges and the print on the rear of the seat. Overall, the bike
is going really well. |

 Frederic owned W650 in France.
He has customized...
airbox free with Captain Jake's method
(the thing is that I used a warmed knife blade in place of a dremel tool
less dangerous and no plastic dirt to clean)
exhausts pipes back end free like on W650 french website
low speed carburetor fuel screws open 1/4
Also I just got my new tires . they are Pirelli Sport Demon . Very good grip and no more shimmy after 120 km/h.
Much more better feeling and confidence than with michelin macadam .
